Hi Chris

The adaptor you have should be ok. Here are some questions: Are you sure the adaptor has an AC output - a DC output would give just one LED on Have you got your modules plugged in and if so what happens if you remove them Some thoughts here are if both LEDS come on without modules fitted then maybe one or more are incorrectly connected or the combined current drain exceeds the regulator's current limit. Otherwise you may have a defective regulator board.

Hope that helps. If you need phone help then let me know - I'm in Portsmouth BTW.

Cheers
Tony

They arrived yesterday and i read through the guide about the Mini case and the power supply - now i ordered mine from Germany and being in the UK - the PSU was no good (i do have an adaptor laying around somewhere - but i cant find it!!!) So i used a psu that i have used on some pedals of mine - same fitting and it was AC and it puts out 7.5V and i thought this would be fine as the manual states the board can take 7-9v AC ( and its pushing out 500mA - again fine according to the manual.)
