Blown pedals due to the wrong power supply is common but it's because people do something stupid (like get any old power supply laying around), can't read or both.

See the drawing under the DC jack on the pedal? You want a power supply with an OUTPUT like that. 9volts DC with a center negative plug. This is the "standard" for pedals that run on a single 9volt battery.
