And if any of you don't like it for this or any other reason, just sell it to me!

Subject: [motm] MOTM-510 switch reminder

Since a lot of MOTM-510s are going out, it's time for the "No, the rotary switch 
 is NOT BROKEN" email.
 
 a) It's in the manual, there is 1/2 of a page devoted to the issue.
 
 b) the issue is: we are connecting/disconnecting pins of the AD538 while the 
 part is *under power*. Therefore, the part 'glitches' the outputs which you hear 
 as static/pops.
 
 c) also, simply applying *pressure* to the knob without fully turning it causes 
 the switch contacts to "bounce" (scrape, actually), which again causes the 
 outputs to pop
 
 d) it's not a bug, it's a feature
 
 If this is annoying, turn down the audio to the speakers, flip the switch, turn 
 back up.
 
 But please: no more emails about 'I need a replacement switch'.
