Aha! I wondered if anyone had noticed.
No, you stick with your curmudgeon Barry, the real name should be somewhere to be seen by all - that was the idea of introducing it in the first place. Folks have three chances to give their real name - their user name, their signature & up there, so there's no excuse really.

Go on somebody, it's worth 99p just to be able to use those beautifully made, tactile and ergonomically perfect controls. I've got a full set of them, just to my left as I type this, otherwise, I might be tempted!
Not a bad amplifier either from what i rememberThanks for the link Chris, that takes me back to the early 80s
I agree with Chris as well, the thing definately feels like a quality bit of kit in the switching department
