pedal power supply shorted out, hopefully i didn't blow up anything?

[justinhedrick]

last night my godlyke power supply shorted out at least i think it did). somehow where the chord comes out of the wall-wart the insulation got stripped. it was really noisey for a minuted then when i jiggled the cable it shorted out. not sure if it blew anything.

thoughts?

If the short was on the supply it won't have affected anything downstream, unless you have sensitive digital modelling equipment.

right on hemi. i don't know why i didn't think of this?

anyway, the only digital things i have are 2 delay pedals, so hopefully they aren't messed up.

doubtful. some microprocessors can get kind of hinky if the power is applied and removed and applied again in quick succession, I won't call it a voltage spike, because that implies that you'd get more than your regular voltage, where in this case you got your 9V on/off/on again and then pop, really it's like you've been struggling to attach a fresh battery and it sort of clicks in, out, in, if the pedal can't survive that, then oops.
