So i just recently got a dunlop brick power supply and i had it hooked up to the 18v output. I've played around with it for a day and everything was fine. next day still okay, but then tonight it wouldn't light up, and i checked it out and it was dead  I wanted to swear out loud, but the family was around, so instead i went to my room and punched chair  .
So my question is do i send my pedal back through MF, or strait to tech 21? Thank you

I'm afraid warranty won't work since you made the mistake. |

When you talk to the folks at Tech 21 you may wish to ask them about that phantom power-able + three pre-sets + DI functions long-awaited update for the VT Bass.  |

This way I'll know exactly who the stoopid party is if I blow up one of my pedals.
System seems to be working so far...
