Problem powering a pedal.

It's a Wasabi Forward/Reverse Delay. It has a dodgy power input thanks to it being booted around by my brother a bit too much. So I used the battery connector extension that came with my old Godlyke powerall and there was nothing. Why? I've never used one of these connectors before. There's a chance it could be broke I suppose. The pedal still worked later on once I'd wiggled the regular power input jack around for what felt like a day.

Have you tried using a battery?

Yeah, meant to say, and it worked with the battery, but not with the power supply linked to the battery connector.

I'd recommend doing this; it's saved like 3 pedals for me, including my Micro POG that turned up from Ebay already faulty.. the guy gave me a tenner refund though.

So yeah.. FIX THAT SUCKA!

Re-solder has to be the way to go. Delay pedals eat 9v batteries.
