Title: ZVex Knobs - Where can I get them?
Post by: Floyd Pepper on December 13, 2006, 06:38:36 PM
Anyone know where I can get small MXR style knobs like Mr Vex uses?  I can find the big MXR ones but I'm after the small versions.

I'm based in the UK.

Thanks

I think Mr. Vex gets most of his knob custom made.

The black fluted one above looks similar to the ones I have, Mouser Part. No. 45KN013. They are 0.94" in diameter (24mm). There is also the bigger version, 1.32" (34mm), Mouser Part No. 45KN014. These are made by Eagle Plastic Devices (EPD).

I believe the fluted knobs that Effects Connection sells are the small variety.  About .75", I think.

oh, those.  yeah, those i use on my Taiwan-made products and a few of the US products and they're pretty readily available.  i thought he meant the ones on the hand-painted fuzz factory, which are custom-made for me.

Thanks for the replies.  I've been looking for knobs like on my Vex Fuzz Factory.  I'd seen the Small Bear ones but it didn't have the dimensions.  I'll follow up on the new leads.

Thanks.
