The on/off switch just takes a press of a button and trip a relay. To turn it off requires holding it. I can also do it so it's just a simple push to turn it off. I have code for both. If you got the on/off board I would throw in the programmed PIC with it. The board is different than what is in the pictures, aside from the color. I moved some things around so when a heat sink is mounted to the voltage regulator it doesn't block the one mounting screw. You can use any button you want and just leave the LED circuitry (two resistors) off of the board and not run the wires for it. Or you could use an LED but separate of the switch. There are endless things you can do with the LED. You can get a bi-color/bi-polar one and have two colors. One for on, one for off. You can get a regular LED and have it light either when it's on or when it's off. You could do two LEDs and wire them in a bi-polar fashion so one is on when the amp is on and the other is on when the amp is off. The Bulgin switch I used is kind of pricey, but I did find them on eBay from a supplier for cheaper than Digikey. The relay and transformer are also pricey ($13.45 and $20.52) unless you steal these things from used electronics. Finding the exact relay will be like winning the lottery, though.

I'll wait on the switch, though, I thought it looked cool.
