Title: Looking for mini-MXR style knobs like Analogman uses.
Post by: skiraly017 on June 13, 2006, 02:01:25 PM
I can get full size MXR-style knobs from Mouser, but on a few of the Analogman pedals he has ones that look a bit smaller. I've looked at the Mouser catalog very carefully but cannot find them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Jameco ones look too big. Perfect example...the tone knobs on the King of Tone. Maybe Mike would be willing to shed a little light?

they look right to me.  i'm guessing the larger ones on the king of tone are the 1.31" diameters, and the small ones are the .75" diameter.

i'm not sure how they can get smaller than 3/4"...

I just plotted out a 1.31" knob on a piece of paper...it's huge! My guess is Mike's using the Eagle Plastics .94" knob on the top and something smaller on the bottom.

We do use 1" and 3/4" MXR style knobs. I dont know where to get them in the USA though, we import them and our overseas source can not sell more as the brass is too expensive for the inserts (!?!). They tried using aluminum inserts but did not work. Tried a 2nd source but they looked MELTED.

Good luck!
