One of the wires to this thingie came off. How do I fix it? It's for my Das Fuzz, which doesn't have an AC jack (although they have a version of the pedal that has this, but sadly it's not the version I have).

Buy a new clip from your local electronics shop. they cost about 50c here in NZ. If you don't want to solder to the board, join the wires and cover the join with heatshrink tubing. I had to replace the clip twice on my old Rat 'cause it was always getting caught in the battery door.

You should be able to find one locally, but in case you can't:

That was my first ever repair, to my Bad Monkey. I did not know about the heat shrink tubing, so stripped a bit of the old wiring and the new, soldered it together, then electrical taped it. Probably I did it all wrong, but it has worked.

Tape's fine, Steve but it goes manky and falls off after a while. Heatshrink is neater and won't ever come off even if you want it to.
