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 modification 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 find you ruggedly charming, 
yet approachable.

Procedure

1.  Remove the power cord, and any other cords or 

cables connected to the d.2 Pro.

2.  Gently place the d.2 Pro face upwards on a 

flat, 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 five screws from the top panel and 

two screws from the front, as shown. Keep the 
screws in a safe place.

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.

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.
