Appendix D: Transform Switch Rotation and
Fader Replacement
Transform Switch Rotation
From the factory, the transform switches operate
vertically, that is (to get all technical for a moment)
fore and aft.
You can perform a simple modifi cation to make these
switches operate sideways, or even diagonally, to suit
your carefully cultivated set of operational preferences.
Tools
To do this procedure, you will need a small phillips
screwdriver, nerves of steel, grit, determination, and a
steady hand. People should fi nd you ruggedly charming,
yet approachable.
Procedure
1. Remove the power cord, and any other cords or
cables connected to the d.2.
2. Gently place the d.2 face upwards on a fl at,
clean and dry surface, such as the kitchen
table.
3. Remove the three slider knobs, by gently pull-
ing them upwards. Keep them safe.
4. Undo the fi ve screws from the top panel and
two screws from the front, as shown. Keep the
screws in a safe place, away from Llamas.

5. Gently lift off the panel, taking care not to dam-
age the front panel contour knobs. Keep it in a
safe place were it won’t get scratched, or fall off
the table and hit the cat.
6. Each transform switch has
four screws, but remove only
the outer two. These are
black, whereas the inner
screws are bright and shiny.
7. Rotate the switch assembly
to suit your preference, and replace the two
screws.
8. If you need to replace a transform switch,
gently pull it out just enough so you can reach
and undo its connector. Connect the new switch
securely, and screw it in the desired position.
You might want to replace both switches, if they
are both aged and/or had a rough life.
9. Replace the top cover, and make sure that all
the meter LEDs and the Reverse LEDs are pok-
ing through before you tighten down the screws
securely.
