| What's the best button to use for new I-Pac Volume Control? |

I'm thinking some sort of DPDT self centering rocker switch. The Happ Up-Down Shifter would be a bit much. I'm looking for a dedicated switch (not using the shift function). Any suggestions? - Mark |

If it's for the IPAC, then it's controlled by keystrokes. I assume you'd have one button for Volume Up and another button for Volume Down. |

I think the rocker switch sounds like a good idea. |

In other words, it sounds like you are going the route of controlling the Windows volume via some kind of switch or switches, through the IPac, with kind of software such as ahofle's CabVol app(http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=69901.msg714459#msg714459). In this case yeah, a self-centering DPDT rocker switch sounds like a good choice. The alternative being, keep the Windows volume always at Max, extend the wires on your amplifier's volume pot, and mount the pot on top of the cab, beneath the CP, behind the coin door, etc. |

With the new ipac firmware, he doesn't need cabvol. |
