I've got a pedal that works fine on batteries, but with a wall wart power supply, no soap. I've swapped out supplies repeatedly and it's definitely the pedal. A peek down the jack seems to indicated that the "finger" that should contact the sleeve of the plug is too short/misplaced/just not making contact. It MAY be possible for me to get in there with something like a dental pick and bend the contact finger, but it may be that the jack just needs to be replaced.
I'm just old enough that my eyes probably won't let me do the work. And I'm old enough to know when I'm in over my head. Anybody here work on pedals? For somebody that knows what they're doing it should be an easy fix. And cheap.
