Yes, us old folk like our pedals like the Rangemaster and the Hawk Booster .... both pedals that originally didn't have a footswitch because we were to stoned to be able to find the pedal on the floor or to be able to operate the footswitch. So they were made to go on top of the amp and be left on all the time.
Plus now of course it will be easier to read the writing with the pedal on the amp. 4 knobs is a lot to keep tabs on for a doddery old luddite like myself. Which reminds me, i need to get back to the bench and finish my Rangemaster clone. I wanna hear that germanium. If it sounds good, i'll go to the flower shop and buy a whole bunch.
