Just got this pedal in the mail yesterday:

This is the American-made version. It came will all the box candy, warranty card, pedal guide, handbook, even the plastic wrapper.
It also came with a broken battery snap. I took the pedal apart and found that none of my battery snaps had long enough wires, so I improvised: I've been taking apart 9 volt batteries for a while now. I save the top clip and bottom spacer. So I cut the broken battery snap apart and soldered the wires to a recycled clip from an old battery. I then used some hot melt glue to attach the bottom spacer as an insulator. It ain't pretty, but the pedal now has a battery snap, and it is much more robust than the cheesy one that came stock on the pedal.
So save all those old battery clips from 9v batteries. I find the ones that work the best are Eveready and Duracel. They have the fiber clips. Some cheaper batteries use plastic and aren't as durable.
