The EH ManModerator
The vintage Bad Stone used 2 batteries for +/- 9vdc, not 18v.

The EH ManModeratorIt might be something as simple as a bad solder joint on the pot, but it might be something more complicated. Best to get it to a tech.
The EH ManModeratorQuote:Also I dont know if this matters or not but when not having any power source in it the clean signal still passes through until i step on the switch then it cuts the signalThat’s normal. You might contact EHX customer service in my link and see about sending it in for repair.
The EH ManModeratorDid you try it with a battery again? Also, open it up and see if there are any loose wires or something smells burned.
The EH ManModeratorYou need to send it to a tech.
The EH ManModeratorSo you plugged a power supply in that had reversed polarity?
The EH ManModeratorAre you using a battery or power supply?
The EH ManModeratorThe EH ManModeratorFind where the input signal goes to the pcb. Track across the input resistor (R2) and input capacitor (C1). At the other side of C1 there are 2 resistors but only one is 100k. That’s the one you want.
The EH ManModeratorYour pedal probably has splined shafts on the pots. I’m not sure if the pointer knobs are available in that format.
The EH ManModeratorCould be that the bias for the delay ICs is off a bit. Another possibility is filter caps.
The EH ManModeratorI can’t answer your 1st question without taking a look at mine but I can help with the other 2. The switch is likely just pushed in. If you look inside the pedal, you can usually see the bottom of the switch coming out of the tabs that hold it in. You can just push it back up and bend the tabs in a little tighter. There’s a small metal piece inside the switch that makes the contacts so if the switch is completely apart, that piece may be floating around inside.
For the led, it’s easy to replace. Just keep track of which wire goes to the flat edge of the led. -
