RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I had a lucky escape recently. While using my Zoom b2.1u pedal, I left ac adaptor in the wall overnight. I managed to get it out in one piece wth suprisingly little impact. Trouble is, one of the screws has come loose so the plug is coming apart. Is it safe to cover plug with black masking tape,or do I have to fork out more dosh for another adaptor.? Wish they nmade a 1 fits all adaptor for all voltages Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
