No. It's the li'l <i>foot</i> on it. I bought it because of the foot.

yeah the foot is pretty cool, but it would be so much better if it didnt have the word switch on it.

Lets face it - it would be so much better if the whole thing was actually orange! Though an orange LED on an Orange background...? Hmmm, tricky!

yeah, while i admire it for its white minimalist look, the footswitch doesnt really fit in with the design of the amps does it?

does anyone have any pictures of 'vintage' orange footswitches that may or may not have been slightly more orange than the current one?

Don't think they needed them back in the 'vintage' days. Single channel minimalist amps back then you see. I think they probably thought you had enough to worry about with all those controls on your guitars... <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
