Anyone experience issues with Digitech pedals in regard to powering them?  I have a DigiDelay in a chain with a Boss GE-7 and each time I plug in the daisy chain adapter to the Digidelay, the LED of the GE-7 comes on.  The same thing happened to a Dano Fish 'N' Chips when I placed it in the chain as well.  The adapter is a Visual Sound One-Spot so no issues with overdrawing current are likely.

I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.....switch, DC jack, etc. 

Any thoughts?

On second thought, it may have more to do with the GE-7 in which I just modded.  When I connect both the GE-7 and Digidelay to the daisy chain, I can plug in a cable to the GE-7 input and as soon as I touch the other cable end to the Digidelay output, the GE-7 LED comes on.  Should I assume there might be a solder bridge somewhere connecting the LED ground and input ground of the GE-7?
