Re: Bench charge for pedal SMD repair??

Thanks for the tip. I'll take a second look. The opamps looked in tact but maybe I missed it. I've read that reverse polarity usually takes out a diode or two near the power jack but they look fine. I do this as a hobby now (retired) so I won't charge much (maybe 12 pack of beer or toilet paper) if ...
