I have one knob like taht one fretwire linked - problem is that pots don't actually have 360 degrees of rotation, so the number markings are sorta useless.

Can't you get knobs like the ones you find on strat-model guitars? You know, with a little gap between 1 and 10? :?

You're right...... I've been looking for that same silver knob with the staggered numbering for 300 degree pot rotation like the Fender knob above. Know of any?

Similar to what Phillip of Fuzz Central uses on his Axis RangeBlaster:
