I hate, while reading user reviews of effects pedals, constantly having to read trite garbage like "built like a tank" and "sucks batteries."

It seems like every pedal is introduced like this unless it's plastic, and they'll say that it'll break if stomped on while on my stomp board at a gig.

Oh yeah, and everyone has a backup or three of their pedals... so that you have it when one goes bad at a gig.

The gig is up. Haha.
