I don't know the circuit but........ Check for a burned diode near the power plug, it could be the power protection (if it has that) got cooked. Not all pedals have this circuit, usually just a diode and a cap, but many do and typically that's all that need repaired.

I think I found the culprit, do you possibly know what kind of resistor this is?

No it doesn't. It's completely fried. I believe it's a zero OHM R. by looking at the color rings. I ended up putting a 10 ohm in just in case and it works great now. thanks for the advice by the way.
