Effects pedals all broke at the same time?
They've been working fine for 2 years, I've got 4 of them hooked up to my amp. One day they just stop working at the same time. I've checked my cables, they're fine. I've tried putting fresh batteries on each of them, and they still wont work. My power supply doesn't work either. The LED light doesn't turn on. Some of the pedals won't even bypass. It's the correct 9v AC negative tip. I've got my wires oriented correctly from input to output. Could I have somehow bonked my pedals by connecting it to the broken power supply? Is it just time for me to get new ones?

So you have to start from the beginning.and go right down the line.
Is the AC outlet hot?
Are you connected to a power strip, and is that working and on?
Plug in the power supply, is there power at the tip? Check with a meter.
Obviously if there is no power your pedals aren't going to work. Are they battery powered or AC powered?
Are they running in series (one plugged into the next)?
If so, maybe one is bad, and is interrupting the whole signal. Hook up one at a time.
This is basic troubleshooting. There's a logical flow to electronics.
