Thanks for the tip Mark, but I tried that this morning and it still
doesn't work. I probably flipped plus to minus 40 times and no "kick
in" for me.

I guess I'll email Dave Smith if this isn't a known and fixable problem.

Anyone else have PEK/MEK pedal polarity issues?

Thanks again,
-Ben.

I have never had this problem. Have you used a different pedal? Are you plugging into the correct jack? Sorry for the stupid questions!
