I just discovered something about wallwarts, quite by accident.
The wallwart is plugged into the wall, and plugged into the device, an effects box in this case. The device is turned OFF, but the Wallwart is all plugged in.
The wallwart heats up, just slightly mind you, but enough to tell the wall wart itself is ON, even though the device itself is turned off.
It seems as tough if its plugged in it is ON. Even when everything is turned OFF.
This explains to me at least why these confounded warts are always crapping out. Making noise and such. They just wear out if plugged in all the time.
The lesson would be of course, unplug those warts when not in use!
