- | Basically Trivial. Some instructions would be nice for those that need them. This involves cutting a trace (which trace?) and soldering in wires connected to a switch. | + | ==== On / Off Switch ==== |
+ | |||
+ | Basically Trivial. Locate the power jack. On the solder side of the I/O-board, cut the trace that almost circles the jack between the first two solder pads. Refer to [[http://gl1tch.com/albums/x0xb0x/x0xb0x_onoffmod1.sized.jpg|this picture]]. | ||
+ | Solder the wires leading to your switch as shown [[http://gl1tch.com/albums/x0xb0x/x0xb0x_onoffmod2.sized.jpg | ||
+ | |here.]] | ||
+ | Find a good place on your I/o panel to mount the switch. Before drilling your precious panel make sure the switch doesnt stick out too much or the 2200uf caps on the I/O-board might get in the way! | ||

By performing the [[HeadphoneMods#kill_switch_on_headphone_amplifier]] Mod, you could conserve some more battery power, as the 6V power won't be drawn (very much) unless you plug the headphones in. | By performing the [[HeadphoneMods#kill_switch_on_headphone_amplifier]] Mod, you could conserve some more battery power, as the 6V power won't be drawn (very much) unless you plug the headphones in. | ||

NOTE REGARDING THIS MOD:** Thus far, there seems to be only one confirmation by a x0xb0x user that this mod works, and this user had another person build his kit. The overwhelming impression one gets from Ladyada's forum is that this mod does not work...at least at the values suggested above. **//Verification of this mod would be greatly appreciated.//** | NOTE REGARDING THIS MOD:** Thus far, there seems to be only one confirmation by a x0xb0x user that this mod works, and this user had another person build his kit.

+ | A **counter-NOTE**: [[http://www.ladyada.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1305&highlight=warble|guest mentioned]] he did this mod, and other people have reported bad PSUs causing warble in the resonance when the res was turned up high. A good question would be what resistor value causes the warble. perhaps do a test with a 5k pot, and play around... | ||
