Upside-down Switches

Post by Gray » Tue Oct 30, 2012 6:08 pm

Am I the only one bothered by this or am I just insane? On my AD30htc you flip the switch up for off, and down for on. I'm seriously contemplating opening it up and turning the switches around. :lol:

My Rocker is down for on, doesn't bother me. I think all Orange amps I've owned are that way......

no, no you're making it too complicated. just turn your entire amp upside down. as an added benefit, it helps the tone breathe.

No, he's 100% right, you get way better tone with it flipped over :D

Truth. AC/DC made a healthy buck or two proving it! :mrgreen:

(OT trivia. You know that Angus has a home in Holland and like me was also born in Scotland. Lucky lucky us. Nobody said it was a fair world. :P)
