I think I fried my Milk Box ...

[Pacodelivery]

By plugging the power supply for my dl4 into it. What gives? The dl4 supply says 9v on it! Is it like center positive or something weird like that?

I think the DL4 supply is actually an AC supply. For reasons I don't fully understand, it will accept some DC supplies although Line6 recommends against it.

Probably

You may also want to check the power supply out before you plug it into the DL4...

Kinda smells like pizza

Jk no odors just doesn't turn on or pass signal with a power supply that works with other pedals

Bummer Normally I wouldn't cry over fried milk, but in this case I would definitely be sad for awhile.

Most pedals have a resistor or capacitor to protect the circuit from that kind of overload. It may be repairable.

Even if it's under warranty, they'll know... whether it be center-opposite, AC, or an attempt at repair... if you're out of warranty, it's not going to hurt to take a look under the hood... of course, without power, whether it's working or not...

Try it with a battery

No warranty on the ol' Milk Box. Long out of production...

As are their 'Have You Seen Me?' ads on the side of the Box... finally, I can go to the movies in peace...

A friend of mine who used to work for DOD recently loaned me his for a couple weeks to try out since I'm totally new to compressors. It was the only pedal he likes using, and I can definitely see the appeal of it. It was the one with the funny names for the knobs ~ like pasteurization, & spill

If it is dead, you can have mine for $50. I just recently got it, it's in great condition but it's not my style. I was going to put it in the classifieds, but if you need one, you can have it for what I paid - $50 shipped.
