Hahahahahaa, in retrospect I'm sure I sounded pretty angry but the whole thing was fueled by other factors that led to a band wide blowup. High comedy I say.
Anyway, I was wrong about the power supply. I tested it again and after realizing the thing was no longer under warranty, took it apart and did some tests internally. The power supply is completely fried; the tests were showing intermittent current. I was able to get the TF working again by attaching the red, reverse polarity, cable of my Voodoo Labs PP2+ to port #6, switched away from normal. According to Voodoo Lab customer support this is a functional fix… we'll see.
These wallwarts have to go…
The biggest criticism I read about these pedals have to do with these massive power supplies. Nobody should have to buy a separate, 3rd party, product to cure this ill. This is the kind of thing that will drive me to other products in the future. While I like the MIDI functionality and sound of the Eventide product I will take a harder look at analog pedals that I can service myself and won't become landfill fodder so easily.
