    Hi —

    I recently bought a used Small Stone. Judging from this page…

    http://www.pedalarea.com/small_stone.htm

    …it appears to be a USA Version 3. Or it might be a current non-Nano one? (It has a red label behind the words “Small Stone.”)

    Anyway, I read that the AC cables for the current regular Small Stones have a positive tip. Is this true of the USA Version 3 models as well?

    Thanks in advance!

    Quick way to tell reissue from vintage:

    On the right hand side of the Rate knob
    RATE: vintage
    STATUS: reissue

    Yes, the power supply requires a positive tip, both the vintage units and the NYC (big box) reissue.

    Great — thank you!

    It’s a reissue — thanks for clearing that up!

    So it also has an LED? Not a dead giveaway since someone could’ve added one. Just did that myself to an 80’s unit.

    Yes, it does have a LED. It looks like it was made that way at the factory, as it also has a little black (plastic?) ring around it.
