Hey R...
Thanks, but I ended up just drilling directly on the plate.. the
aluminum is soft so the drill bit "bites" pretty quickly and I was
able to get the hole for the switch in the right spot.

Took me about 20 min. to do the mod.. and I'm slow.

Problem is, my filter's not closing all the way down when in overdrive
mode... then I reread the directions.. ahhhh: I used a 1/2 watt
resistor and it's supposed to be 1/4 WATT.

Gonna fix that today.. maybe try a 100 ohm just to see how it sounds..

FUN STUFF. Good job, Pete! Now my Model 12 has Tabasco flavor.

best - bryan
