A friend was playing and suddenly listened a POP and the Echopark died. He opened the pedal and took a photo.
It seems a fried capacitor but ¿what kind and what is his value?

It would be interesteing to know why the Cap blew in the first place. Good luck! I'll be watching from afar.

It was mine... The cap did not blew in first place. What you see in the photo is just inside. The cap was shot somewhere inside the box into little pieces.
The one damage (hope only visible and not anything else) is the same that the following (so c37=c38), but there's something on the backside of the PCB, cos between the two pins of the fried capacitor there's another little dot with "GND" written , that i guess is gonna be "ground".

Any help?Anybody deal before with line 6 technical support out of warranty?
