    There’s a transistor on the power supply output that probably needs changed as well.

    Since you say it doesn’t match up with any resources you’ve found, you should post some pics of what you have and we can go from there. It’s not terribly difficult and you can use the original switch if you can sacrifice the LED.

    Easy fix!

    If it quit and started working again it may just need a solder touch-up, not a replacement.

    This is not the place to post this issue. You should start a new thread.

    That’s not an original 16 Second Delay, it’s a reissue.

    The switch is a right angle slide switch. I suggest taking measurements of the other switch and looking at electronic sites for something similar.

    It shouldn’t affect the rate at all. More likely, this is the result of varying component tolerances.

    Continuity is not a good thing. At this point you’re probably better off sending it to a tech.

    Maybe, but if resistors blew then you had to be powering it with something larger than 9v. I’d venture that some ICs are blown.

    You shouldn’t have 18v anywhere. What are you powering it with?

    As long as there’s a plug in the input jack, it will be using the battery power up. This is the way most pedals are set up. If you’re not going to use it for a while, just unplug the input jack.

    I’d be concerned that it won’t get the correct voltages to the circuit. According to the Echoflanger schematic, there should be +15VDC and a +7.5VDC. That 24vac transformer I linked is small enough to fit in there. I’ve used it several times.

    Running a 100v pedal at 120v increases the secondary voltage only slightly. The internal voltage regulators should be able to handle it.

    What you can do is unsolder the transformer leads from the PCB then plug the pedal in and measure the voltage on the unsoldered leads (just the solid color ones. There may be a striped center-tap that doesn’t need to be unsoldered for this). It should be around 24VAC. If it’s much lower than that then the transformer may be 100v. Really, as long as the secondary voltage is higher than the voltage regulator’s rating it’s not going to make much difference.
