I recently ran into an issue while testing different connection configurations using a standard 1/4" to 1/8" TRS adapter (like this) in a rear output of the Axe-Fx. When I pulled on the base of the adapter to remove it, the tip portion remained in the jack while the rest came out. The tip portion that remains has two 0.75" springy clip portions that normally hold it inside the ring/sleeve portion, but now they're stuck in the jack.
I've poked around with needlenose pliers and a hemostat, but the jack itself is applying spring pressure in a few spots, and the clips of the tip portion are getting caught up in various parts of the interior of the jack. I also tried reinserting the removed portion back over the stuck portion, but they won't mate because of the springy clips being caught.
Has anyone encountered something like this, whether on the Axe or another piece of gear? I wanted to ask here before resorting to other extraction methods or taking the Axe apart.
