Many of these pedals were in a flooded basement and had been under water for several hours. OH THE HUMANITY!! They were definitely worth opening up and putting in the time to bring them back to life. The worst was the Tube Screamer. This thing was riddled with rusted components and was sounding really ratty. A lot of replacements got the pedal breathing and back on its feet.
The moral of the story: if your gear is soaked then open it up and let it dry out for a really long time!!! Wait a while before you fire it up again.
