How about plugging it into a power strip then turning the strip on/off? Kind of hard for them to retool the case to move the switch. That is kind of etched in stone or steel as it were 🙂
I rather like the fact that it’s difficult to get at. One less temptation for the drunk punter (who is going to sign the band up and turn them into stars, just after they’ve done a free gig for his girlfriend’s birthday party next week, blah blah blah….. hey that’s freaky, that slider moved on it’s own, how does it know when to do that man? blah blah blah…..)
I also like the lock function, & my headphones 😉
