So I was cleaning up my pedal board today and unplugged all my pedals and swept it off and then put them all back on and when I started plugging them all in I noticed the lights on my EHX cathedral weren't lighting up. So I tried it with different cables, different patches, putting it as the only pedal in my chain, and it still shows no signs of life! I have no idea what could have even happened.

It worked > I unplugged it > plugged it back in > broken???

I'd appreciate it if anyone knows any tricks or anything, I thought I would ask here before talking to EHX.

I had a holy grail once that would stop working sometimes. I threw it at the floor and plugged it back it and it worked. The next time it did that, I opened it up and wiggled some things and it never cut out again.

Open it up and see if maybe the 9v jack is loose/has broken pins or somethin'.

Everything seems to be pretty solid
Does anyone know anything about EHX warranty's? I got it used a few months ago and I have the box/warranty card but it mentions I have to register it like 10 days after purchase for the warranty to be valid or something? Ah this sucks.

I would guess the solder connections on the power jack are bad. It happened to a Small Stone I had a while ago. Super easy fix if that's the problem.

How would I tell? If I posted guts would that help?

Sigs yo...

Did any of the power connections arc off one of the pedals???

It couldn't hurt.

Do you have any alligator clips and/or a multimeter?

MEC and sonidero you guys are speaking another language but I surely don't have either of those things you listed. Also, I didn't know what to take a picture of so if there's something else you might need to see let me know Thanks again for all the help dudes.

NSFW because of size

Doesn't hurt to email them anyway, maybe they'll look it over despite not having the warranty.

It does look like the power jack is unusually far away from the enclosure...

if you can't find anything obviously wrong, try leaving it to sit for a few days...my HR-16 has gotten zapped more than once because it was on unregulated power...once i sent it back to Alesis and they couldn't find anything wrong, the second time i left it alone for a few days and i guess the charge it got was dissipated.

Well it works again!!! It only works with one of the plugs coming from my power supply? Like any other cable but one will not work but they power all my other pedals fine. No idea what happened but I am so relieved I don't have to buy another one!
