Be careful when working with Wall-Wart transformers, it is real easy do disable them. If the transformer is powered up and the output wires touch or short out in any way, it will blow an internal safety fuse which is not normally user replaceable. They are soldered in place and you will need to destroy the black plastic case to change that fuse.

Real nice DIY tutorial. I'm planning on building one this week. Thanks!

However, I am wondering why you're telling people to hook up their multimeter leads to their wall warts with the polarity reversed, and then to expect a NEGATIVE voltage reading? I realize that IN PRACTICE there's no difference, but there's probably a couple newbies on here scratching their heads. You should have kept all the polarities correct in your instructions, and dealt strictly with positive voltage numbers, especially considering how critical the polarity REALLY is on these pedals.

Thanks
