Folsom -- it seems to be natural, at least for the 3 empeg players that have passed through my hands, and the two on my desk in front of me. I can see what you mean just looking down at it on my desk. I blame the RHD guys on the wrong side of the road in Cambridge... (that is, its never a problem to my passengers, that is, when viewed from the right-hand side)

(and then the coolness of everything else about the unit makes me quickly forget about it)
