I asked my hardcore-guitar effect, guitar player friend who has done all kind of modifications, his answer was that there is little left to do.
Maybe somebody else has different opinion?
I accepted his and went to another looper, RC-30, switches are soooo quiet.

anybody has recomendations on quiet switches that would work for the
Digitech Jamman stereo?
