That's true, and I am working on that mod, but it's a little difficult because the TS-10 housing doesn't fit a round panel mount switch. I have read on forums that for this reason, many people rehouse their TS-10's in addition to the 808 conversion. The in/out and power connector's are also pcb mounted and kinda crappy, yet another reason to rehouse it. Me being the stubborn ******* that I am, because the big modder's out there don't offer the true bypass mod for the TS-10, I want to make it work, just to do what they don't. I figured I would replace the 1/4" jacks and 9v connector with sturdier panel mounted ones as well. Probably more trouble than the thing is worth, but it was given to me by an older blues player so I like its mojo and want to hang on to it.
The switchcraft connectors I bought had to be filed down to fit, and I had to order a switch which I am waiting for, so in the mean time I put it together so I could play with it as is until I have properly fit all the parts for the bypass. To remove existing switch, I will likely have to destroy it, making it basically unusable until I work out the switch. And again, as it is, it works, it just squawks. Which isn't that big a deal, but from what I read on Analogman's site, it's probably a simple fix.
