Ok so I found a metal master pedal in my friends uncles room so he let me have it wouldn't turn on so i went to go buy a battery yet it still didn't turn on and found that the black wire that connects that battery is broken off if I buy the external battery will the pedal work or does it also require the battery from the 9V battery?

It's a sign that when you become a hermaphrodite, that you can't help but dress up in costumes 24/7.

The wall plugin adapter should not require the battery to complete the circuit if it doe though you will have to fix the connection.

idk if i can use another adapter of some sort or i might have to buy the digitech one but as for the led light it won't go red and i'm not getting any damn sound must be the battery

I understand what your saying is broken. A battery will not work if that wire is broken. There should be a ac plug spot on the side of it somewhere and the adapter will skip the whole battery part of the circuit. You either have to buy the ac adapter or solder the wire back together and put a battery in. You need to use the adapter that is specific to the pedal/company/brand.
Or buy a new pedal, its just an OD pedal not hard to find and not terribly expensive.

well i'm pretty broke right now and its actually worth $90
well i'll go to guitar center but the adapter has to be specifically for that pedal?

you need the digitech one, take the pedal and ask them what they suggest you use

Petals are for fags, unless you're gonna do gigs or camwhore your "skills" on youtube, just fucking change it yourself on the amp, not that fucking hard man, I do it myself. One fucking button, I go from clean to fucking crunch or metal.

If you're just hitting a button on the amp your just using a built in pedal.
There are two approaches to distortion and tone. One uses the pickups and a pedal or the amp. Neither is better than the other. On top of that a OD pedal lets you kick it up for a lead and you are able to modulate amp sounds with distortion and OD pedals that are impossible for you otherwise. Like I have a Peavey amp and I use a pedal some times to get it to sound like a Marshal stack.
Next pedals cover a range of things. From phasers, flangers, uni-v roatary, chorus, ect. They allow for sounds and effect a guitar can't get on its own. Not using an eq pedal and a compressor is just stupid.
