ProCo Rat 2

Hi - im having some problems with my new ProCo Rat 2 and was wandering if anyone knew anything about it - i just got the pedal off an ebay shop, and the distortion itself works great, but there is a major problem that when the pedal is turned off no signal goes to the amp so i can't make a sound.

 

Instead of having true bypass like it should, it seems to have no bypass at all, so im having to run it in an effects loop from the amp, but this means i cant use other effects in the loop unless the Rat is turned on.

 

Also, with it being a USA model, it has a 1/8" power supply jack instead of 1/4", so does anyone know where i could get either a lead to go from the DC brick as 1/4 to pedal as 1/8 or just a single 1/8 jack power lead?

No warranty? I'd send that sucker back, get a new one.

If its new, send that pedal back and get you another. I wouldnt reccomend fixing it yourself. (unless you had the know how, but then you wouldnt be asking us) You should be able to easily find a 1/8" adaptor from the regular barrel one. I could be wrong but musiciansfriend sells the one spot 1/8" adaptor.
