Does anyone know where to get the giant knobs people use on uni-vibe clones (like the speed knob here: http://www.themusiczoo.com/PDGImages/Fulltone_Mini_Deja_Vibe_a.jpg)? I think they look super cool but can't find anyone who sells them. Anyone else have better luck?

Super cool! Thanks everyone! Never would have thought of radio shack! Also, weird about the link. Worked when I posted originally. Anyways, thanks for the help. I'll definitely be getting some of those soon.

Yep. Daniel beat me to it. Radioshack actually has a decent selection of knobs. They even have some MXR style at my local shack.

I'm sorry sir, we only have the regular ohms.

Another option, if you use a pot with a knurled shaft, is to use the knob from a light dimmer. I've used them on a number of pedals, usually mounted on the side of the box.

Like this one: http://www.homedepot.ca/product/trimatron-dimmer-knob-white/903663, but you can usually find them in junk stores for a lot cheaper.

I found some extra large knobs, like the upper two on the deja vibe, on old washing machines. trubble is, the are either brown or cack light blue, are push ons, and have extra junk under the flanges.
