Think I fried my Frexbox :(

I was experiencing some unwanted noise in my signal chain so started the process of isolating each pedal from my pedalboard one by one...
It came the turn of the Freqbox. I plugged in a Moog PSU and powered up. There a strangle whining noise, not from the pedal but from the PSU... Then I got a static/electric shock from the cable jacks connected to the Freqbox! I quickly powered down and changed to another Moog PSU (I have 5 as I own 5 foogers!). Thankfully no noise.
Freqbox powered up and bypass let's the signal through fine. Turn the pedal on and my clean/dry signal is there, BUT none of the Freqbox/VCO sound. It basically seems the faulty PSU has killed the VCO!?
The mix knob on the pedal now basically blends from dry to silent!
