:O
That might be it.
The thing that attaches the battery to the pedal got tangled in with the coil in the pedal.
So I untangled it.
40 bucks?
The pedal itself was 36.

have you tried cleaning the switch?
is it the same voltage as the other switches.
i was looking at a pedal in a store the other day, and it was not 9 vdc, it was 3vdc, and obviously came with its own adapter.

is the tx you are using large enough to supply all your pedals?

You can also get a new DS-1 for about $40.

Yeah, but my glasses are broken. I read "replace" as "repair."

If you have the receipt (I know I wouldn't) I believe all Boss pedals are under warranty for 5 years. I had a DD-6 that crapped out after 2 years and it was replaced by the retailer. YMMV.

Well the pedal ceases to work.
Yeah, the voltage on all my pedals is the same. 9V.
And it just gave out.
This would be a great excuse to buy that DF-2 I've always wanted.
Where to find one...
