Moogerfooger Phaser now a paperweight?

Post by etnieboy » Sun Sep 12, 2004 6:28 pm

I recently moved and today was the first time that I had the chance to use my moogerfooger in about 2 weeks. When I plugged in the power adaptor nothing happened. No flashing lights, nothing. I'm really scared that my expensive phaser has died after only a year. it was carefully moved alongside the rest of my equipment. Anyone have any ideas??

Got another wall wart? Those tend to be less than rugged. Always carry a spare when gigging!!!

I tried two others along with the one that came with the moogerfooger, that's why I have come to the conclusion that it's something internal. The other wall warts work with other pedals, so it's not them that are malfunctioning. thanks for the response. DJ

From the MF-103 manual

MC, thanks for all your help. It turns out that I'm just an idiot. I saw the problem initially but didn't pay enough attention to it. I thought I was using the correct power source with the correct polarity. I was wrong. I found the moog wall wart under my bed, yikes... Thanks though. DJ
