BeePre 2 on/ off switch upgrade

[blackharp]

Anyone know where I can find a fancier on/ off switch for the Bee Pre 2? Perhaps in brass or gold?

This is one I have used before, though you may need to slightly file the hole for it to not fit too snugly.

I'm not sure I have ever seen a brass rocker switch.

Not bad! It would match my Les Paul..

You know what they say about putting the round peg in the rectangular hole...

That I could easily craft a small, rectangular brass plate with a round hole in it?

I would use some adhesive as well to keep things from rotating.  My experience with switches like that is that they like to back themselves out and get loose.

Careful with that Switchcraft switch - try to find some specs on it. If I'm not mistaken, it is meant to switch electric guitar pickup level signals - not for switching AC power on/off.
