    Hi
    can anybody tell me, if it is possible to remove switch?
    Just got this vintage black finger with on off switch, that works really bad, doesnt look like a loose connection, think its worn… so i want to remove it from the cicuity, so the pedal is turned on constantly, is that possible without affecting the circuity?

    The Black Finger works on 2 batteries. Depending on which circuit yours has, it could be wired for 18vdc or +/-9vdc. Either way, you could wire it so it’s always on but you’ll be going through batteries.
    Either way, all you have to is solder a piece of wire between the 2 contacts on the switch. You could alsao fix the switch by disassembling it, cleaning the contacts with a pencil eraser, and re-assembling it. Takes about 10 minutes or less.

    Thanks,
    – cleaning the switch actually did the job… :)
