MF Ring fizzles/clips out and high pitched feedback
I'm no longer able to keep the miinifooger MF RING on my pedal chain cause it just won't power on correctly anymore after clipping out and fizzling in a way. It worked fine when I first bought it but from the beginning but still had a high pitched feedback that's in the background but still pretty audible. I thought maybe that's supposed to happen but after reading some forums I see that that's not what's supposed to happen. After looking at some other complaints about these pedals it seems it's just a fluke with a bad component maybe? I haven't tried to use a battery yet to see if it's a power adapter issue. It also seemed to fry my original 1spot power block but that could've been unrelated. But also the 13mA is different from the other pedals I have chained on my 1Spot. Any solutions for this? Or a test to diagnose where the issue is stemming from? tHANKS

Re: MF Ring fizzles/clips out and high pitched feedback
So I figured out from the seller that it requires a center positive power supply when I was using it in my regular center negative 1spot chain. Will the diode be irreversibly damaged or will I be able to use a center positive adapter in my chain to correct this? Even though the effects worked fine with my 1spot before, it always had an undesirable high-tone feedback behind my guitar signal..so now it still kind've turns on but makes a terrible feedback and isn't playable at all on a boss style power supply, once I realized the polarity was wrong though I stopped plugging it in..so thanks in advance.

Don't over trust sellers... it's centre negative, like all MF pedals. Works very well on my board powered with a simple Harley Benton PowerPlant 12 on a 100 mA/9V DC bus, negative at center.
Your problem is elsewhere... Try it alone, out of circuit.
I already experienced problems while using MF pedals an other brands pedals.
Examples :
- impossible to put a EHX Polychorus (negative center) and a MF-102 (positive center, through an inverter patch) on the same power unit, but separately powered, it's ok. Never understood why...
- Impossible to put a Plasma Pedal and a Minifooger in the same audio chain... buzz every where... Plasma has to be alone in a "private" loop.
I finally bought all MF pedals to build a 100% MF chain that is working very fine.
Best regards.

Also give a try with a separate, dedicated PSU for the MiniFooger.
