I'd rather they actually mod it so the switch is removed and the circuit hardwired. I imagine someone beating up the "stuck" switch and breaking the circuit/mic altogether.

That's a good idea. Just bypass it internally and let the switch move freely, doing nothing. They'll learn to leave it alone pretty quickly.

Ha! Bet they don't. This is exactly how superstitions are made.

Also, any sound engineer who claims he has never eq'd a voice, an instrument, a venue to perfection listening to the subtle changes of the sound signature as he did so, only to find that the eq was in bypass the whole time is lying.

Don't ask me how I know.

[bramen]

Also true. :-)
