Pedals are weird to carry around, especially if you have a lot of gigs, they cling and clang and hit stuff, and they're awkward to hold, and then you get the lubricated part and then you stain yourself, and it's just bleh.
This one is not so expensive and it's built to last for life. It really has very very good quality and is very sturdy.
It such a different feeling to be able to have your pedal packed and carry it around like a normal person.
