RAT pedal has a terrible design

Is it just me who finds the RAT pedal to have such an incredibly inconvenient design? Like you just think, yeah let’s put it on the pedalboard - but wait! You need to take the feet out. Simple job right? Nope. Pedal falls apart. Huh, I guess I can just put the screws alone back in? Nope. Stick out by a couple mm or risk damaging internal electronics. That’s fine I guess, I’ll just duct tape it. Still no! The battery door sticks out. I guess I’ll remove the battery door since I run it on PSU anyway. Nope! Now there’s nowhere to put your velcro because FOR SOME REASON the battery door occupies 70% of the base.

Don’t get me wrong I know it’s an old pedal and wasn’t designed the way modern pedals are designed (to be put on pedalboards) but holy christ what a drag it is
