PNP Fuzz working with battery but not adapter

[silverjet89]

Hi there.
This isn't actually my own build but I have done some pedals in the past. The pedal is a Carls Custom Bender/Fuzz Face.
The pedal sounds really good but it won't work with a power adapter. Works fine with the battery. I haven't been able to get any info from Carl's.
I'm using the Voodoo Labs Pedal Power Plus & the required reverse polarity cable. I've used this power supply for other PNP pedals with no problem.

I can't see any wiring issues but I'm kind of a novice so any help from the forum would be appreciated.

The power supply wiring is like this: http://aminoaa4.miniserver.com/~poodle/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/PosiGND.jpg

It's late here and I might be out of it, but it looks to me like if the pedal is wired like the image you linked, you shouldn't need a reverse polarity cable. With a standard polarity cable connected to a power supply like the Pedal Power Plus, the center pin is negative and the outside ring is positive. The image you linked to shows center pin to "board -9V" and battery negative, and outside ring to ground (positive). If it were my pedal, I'd try it with a standard polarity cable. But I am not going to tell you to do that, lest I'm wrong and you fry your pedal.    How sure are you that the pedal is wired like the image you posted? Did you trace the wiring and confirm that?
