Hey All,
Awhile back I accidentally used my old ACA adapter (14.5V) on a PSA pedal...I knew something was wrong because the pedal hummed really bad Could damage result from using an ACA adapter on a PSA pedal or is there some kind of protection circuit? I can't remember which pedal it was?

Thanks!

Yes! Depends on the pedal, but there is an 11V protection diode in most PSA pedals and the ACA supply is 12V+. Prolonged ACA supply can damage a PSA pedal... The good news is that if it does happen to be damaged, it is almost always repairable. Which pedal was it?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not sure which pedal it was, it happened about a year ago
