So mine got fucked up...can't seem to find a replacement ANYWHERE.
Not even on the EHX website.
I've gone to a couple shops around Toronto/Mississauga/etc with no luck. Help? My board misses this pedal!

For those that aren't sure what I'm talking about...
I need this power source:
18 volts DC 500mA
center pin is +
outside barrel is -

Can post a pic once home from work.

best bet is to google the model number ( MKD-411800500 ) to search, EHX uses that same supply for a lot of other pedals.

Here's one on the 'bay:

I'll sell you mine. It comes with a flanger hoax, though.

radio shack and best buy sell those interchangeable power supplys. they are really handy and come with a bunch of different tips.

its bailed me out numerous times from having to hunt down a specific obscure PSU.

I'll see what I can find, Radio Shacks are a rare site in the Greater Toronto Area these days. All we have now are a bunch of shitty Source locations and they don't have shit!
I've found an online source selling em but it just seems silly to pay more on shipping than the power source is actually worth.

Also, if you don't mind reading datasheets, mouser is good for this kind of thing, just filter for output voltage and pick something close in amperage that has the right connector: http://www.mouser.com/Power/Power-Suppl ... _/N-axgld/

Variable supplies are potentially more useful, though. :idk:

Edit: and those eBay legit ones are just as cheap, soooo yeah, nevermind on mouser. They're good for obscure supplies in general, though.
