I have the Hammond/Suzuki MidiStep (Fast Forward Designs) midi pedalboard. I have done OK with it without the owner's manual but now I think I need some real technical help.

I recently went to hook it up and inadvertently used the wrong AC adapter. I smelled that terrible smell (you all have experienced it, I know) and now it isn't working.

Since I don't have a manual I don't know if the circuitry is protected by a fuse of some kind or not. I need help. I'll get it repaired if necessary, but if there is something I can do to get it up and running I'd rather do that. Any suggestions?

Cassp,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but normally a blown fuse will not create a smell. You burned something out. Usually resistors smell bad when toasted. You are going to need a service manual and tech.

Thanks for the bad news, Tom. I expected as much.

Donny, thanks for the pic, but that is the XPK100, the new pedalboard. I have the older (blue) Fast Forward board made by H/S.
