Quick question before repairing a pedal which ain't mine,

Is the whammy pin positive or pin negative??

You have the pedal and you're repairing it and you can't tell?!

i'm a tech right, when you're tired, haven't eaten all F***in' day, need lots of sleep because you have health issues affecting your sleep, have to go back to the studios TWICE tomorrow among doing other S*** in my life to fulfil my role in the household, I think it's ok to ask.

I asked a question, it's a simple one, I was on my phone having dinner.

If you don't have the answer you know what to do.

Thanks.

For the record there are NO polarity markings on the pedal or the PSU I have been given. Therefore I have to ask.

Back up chief...no need to get yer knickers in a bunch.

If you have the pedal open it up and trace it out...

Of course, eat first and maybe take a nap

Isn't the Whammy powered by an AC adapter? Polarity shouldn't matter. But at any rate, a quick search on Google should give you the answer you're looking for.

I have googled:

Digitech whammy Polarity
Digitech Whammy Pin Polarity
Digitech whammy power supply polarity....

All to no avail GAHHHAHAH

yes you could be right, i forgot AC isn't really positive or negative fussy.

basically the guy needs the pedal for a gig on saturday, he paid over the odds for a replacement power supply and it came with an adapter to plug on the end to put into the pedal. Only problem is, that is susceptible to a stray foot breaking it, which is what happened at the last show half way through a solo... :smack:

so anyway, instead of forking out another stupid amount on a PSU and having to wait ages for it to get here, I said I'll bring it home with me and do a make do and mend repair.

I can get a spare plug easy enough, It's just the polarity cause I don't want to blow this stuff up Y'know! LOL
