What makes the Red Eye so great? (and pricey for a tiny box)

It is pricy, but worth it. The only thing is I wish it had an intelligent battery door - or a 9V option for when there is not easy Phantom nearby. My peral board has a great power source underneath. I wish the FireEye could be powered that way, so it can be a non-thought, like my other pedals.

Nice pedal board! When I use my Red Eye, I put my tuner and pedals in the effects loop. I notice you put your Red Eye in line and last. Curious, do like that set up better? If so, I will try it. (My tuner needs to stay in effects loop otherwise I get a popping sound with the true bypass)
Thanks,
Tim

Nicely done! It makes no sense that any manufacturer would use 9volt power and not include the ability to connect it to a pedal power supply.
