Switch noise musings...
When the Akai Headrush first came out, we had a thread about noisy switches interfering with acoustic (miked) looping. Then when the DL-4 came out, I noticed that it had quieter switches.
The weird thing is, until about five minutes ago, I never compared the switches on the two units side by side. Externally, they appear to be identical! (The Akai switches do seem to travel a little further before the 'click' than the Line 6, so I dunno...)
Without opening them up, I'd venture to guess that if they are the same switches, the DL-4 switches might be mounted differently, maybe with rubber grommets or something similar that damps them. Or maybe it's just the greater mass of the housing on the Line 6.
Hmmmm.....
