MOTM

The toggle switches in MOTM are Mouser part # 1055-TA2130. Call
1-800-346-6873.

PLEASE note that unlike the stronger bushings on the jacks and pots, the
toggle
switches have very little (if any!) "back-force" when you tighten them. All
you need to
do is *NO MORE* than a 1/4th turn past hand-tight. The supplied lockwasher
on the
switch is doing all the work, NOT the torque applied to the nut on the front
panel.

Yes: the EG has an exponential curve. So the MOTM-110 VCA is linear. We want
an exponential
change of volume because that is "natural-sounding" to our ears.

Linear x Linear = Linear
Expo X Linear = Expo
Expo x Expo = 4th order parabolic response
