I'm not sure which one is worse/has better crystal lettuce.

The 140 buck pot
The 180 buck battery holder

I know I should hate the pot more but the battery thing is so dumb. I don't really like batteries, but what's one of the few good things about them? NO CABLES. What does this battery product offer us? LOTS OF CABLES AND A POWER SUPPLY CABLE NEEDED

I want to power my pedals with batteries so I am free from the shackles of power supplies, but I need a power supply for my batteries

i imagine there'll be pots on the manned mars missions that'll cost nasa/musky boy way more than 140usd, thus is the price of reliability.
premium battery holder can get all the way to fuck

No hate for the pot?

The pot’s a Varitone? I dunno, the onboard THD Quintet might have cost about the same a decade ago when they still made them.

These make me think I should get some sort of business together to part Mayer and Bonamasa fans from their money. These are things it’d be easy to DIY. It’s just the small leap to making them look like a manufactured product.

I think the $80 pedal cover belongs in here, also.

CBS speaks the truth.

I hate that pot (psst, it's a rotary switch). I despise ANYTHING with knurled shafts, and pouring a steaming load of marketing bullshit on top of that brings on the blind animal rage cage.

I exaggerate, those are both kind of stupid - but they prey upon those who have more money than sense (I'm 100% certain BB King could wrangle toans from a First Act/Barbie guitar plugged straight into a Peavey Rage 158 with a torn speaker) so I shall pay them no more attention.

From an engineering standpoint, based on their description there is a lot more going on in the battery thing, and so you get more for your money, but seriously, I'd rather walk up to a homeless person and shove $200 in their can than be caught buying that.

I feel like a Rage with a torn speaker would be exactly BB King's kinda jam

Peavey Rage gang for life

I own a peavey rage, and I hate it just as much as I did in high school in the 90s

Accurately named then

Nah, it doesn't make me want to throw someone's bike. It doesn't give berserker power. It just makes you despise your instrument.
