hello all...

for a while now i've been trying to repair my CS2... i finally got teh replacement transistor i needed (the other physically broke so i know it was the original problem) and so i wired it up and tested it.

this pedal has 3 ground points and i always just twist the leads together for the ground of course and attach them to my test rig ground. well, unfortunately i got the power ground and + mixed so i sent (potentially) 9v+ to all my grounds...and vice versa. obviously, the pedal didnt work when i was testing it. i set it aside for a week then was studying the traces and noticed my dumb mistake!

i have not tested the pedal yet after noticing, havent had time...what should i be aware of? everything on this pedal is replaceable except the ic so im really hoping its not dead!
