As an owner of that amp i am in agreement about the location of the switch.If i may say so,i just can't picture that amp on a "rack" due to the amount of heat it generates.It,and you,will be happier if it has it's own stand so it can breathe a bit and that will prolong the life of your tubes as well.With a dedicated amp stand that switch will not be an issue.When that amp breaks in you can start looking at some NOS 6V6 tubes-you may want to try 2 or 3 different pairs,before you find the right sound.That will truly enhance the performance,and your enjoyment of that amp!
Help with BAT VK75SE
Just got a 75SE. It sounds absoulutely wonderful--just stunning. The problem is the on/off swithch. It is in the back of the amp on the lower left hand side. The rack that the amp is on is near a side and back wall, so the swithch is hard to reach---very hard. I called BAT and there is no trigger swich available, but Victor said some sort of technician could butld a relay box. Does anyone know of a technician that could do that, preferably in New York?
