Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where to get the little pots like the ones on MI pedals?
They look like black pots without a knob on them.
Like the ones on their Octave pedal here: http://www.mieffects.com/PLY.htm (http://www.mieffects.com/PLY.htm)

They'd be great for a bit of space saving...
Thanks!

I would also love to try some of these out.
You can buy shafts that you plug onto ordinary trimpots. Looks like they're using those to me...

There are a lot of different options:

Ever since I tore into my buddy's (newer) T-Bone, I've been wanting to get my hands on some of those. I just don't know if I trust those trimmers that much, but would be ultra slick for "A" builds!
eta: Danelectro T-Bone Distortion. The little plastic Danelectros use slick little knurled knobs like the ones Merlin and John linked. If I remember right, they are really similar to Fig.8 or 10.
It's these:

Mouser charge half the price that Banzai charge. With Mouser you'll get them the next day, whereas with Banzai, you might wait weeks as they seem to keep limited stock of most things.
TBH, they are a PITA to mount, but there are work-arounds. I used bolts to mount the sub-board which held the pots in this build which I used the right-angled version in:

Mouser charges 40e for shipping to eastern Europe while Banzai charges 7e. Sometimes I'm ready to wait a bit if the difference is 33e.

I will put them on my next order to Alpha, and they will be posted for sale about Labor Day.

Those are gonna be sweet. Am I crazy, or does the datasheet not list the lead pitch? It appears to be .1" looking at the rest of the measurements.

September
