Figured since most of you can solder 100x better than I can, I'd post this here. It worked briefly, but when I use my Boss wall wart, the light on the wall wart blinks instead of staying solid, and the pedal no longer functions. I love the sound and I would like to fix it.

Re: My Effector 13 is broken :(
Photo no worky for me, but are the jacks loose? Can you move the knobs and they move the pot? Sometimes a jack will loosen and make contact with soemthing it shouldn't, like the tip shorting to ground/ chassis. Same with the pots - if they're loose they could be turned to the point where a lug makes contact to the enclosure.
If you carefully wiggle any part of the circuit board does it get life back?

Is that LED still attached to the wires? It looks disconnected.

The LED still lights up. I'm not sure if that is an issue.

Hmmm...Does it bypass? What happens when you hit the stomp?
I don't visually see anything wrong, but it's hard to tell.

Could just be a bad stomp switch. I've had that happen a few times. They don't last forever unfortunately.

Just tried with a battery and a ton of other supplies. No dice.
