EHX Soul Food problem

What's Hot

My beloved EHX soul food seems to have given up the ghost today. I've had it velcroed to my board for ages and it's been fine. Set to buffered mode with a shared power supply. 
Just hooked it up to a new board in the same way and it won't work.
When not engaged the signal will pass through - in bypass mode only.
When engaged there is no signal.
If I try buffered there is nothing either way.
Lights up as it should.
Tried it with the official power supply too and the issue is the same. 
Anyone have any ideas? I love this pedal and can't stretch to a new one at the minute.

    It sounds very much like it's dead. Was it connected when you either had 230V going into the board, or the wrong supply polarity?

    If the light comes on, power is getting through to it, and if it works in true bypass it's not the jacks. It *could* still be the switch (they're notoriously shit), but an effect circuit failure is at least as likely with an EH...
