If you use the push-on knobs for the T-18 pots like the ones they sell at Futurlec, check out Re-An knobs.

I bought a boatload of these from fullcompass.com (half the price of Mouser for the same knob), and I really like them. They are "soft touch," so they have a rubber-like coating that feels nice. They're not too big, and not too small. They fit snug on the pots, and in my opinion, they are high-quality. You can see them in a picture here.

Brian, here are a few links to look at. Never bought from any of them as yet, so can't comment on their products or service.

Darron posted a build in the pictures topic with white chickenhead knobs, and John Lyons asked where to get them. Out of curiosity, I looked around to see if I could find them. I think I ended up stumbling on a good source for knobs. They have ten different colors of chickenhead knobs, and more in their ebay store.

Here's their ebay store: Link. And here's their website: Link.

I have no connection to these guys... just thought I'd share.

Take another looks at those white CH knobs.
They are smaller than the usual ones.

Yeah, I figured they were. That's why I posted it here, since they didn't match exactly what you were looking for.

The place I found seemed to have a pretty good selection, and their name didn't pop-up when I searched for it here at the forum, so I figured there was no harm in putting it out there.

What the...? wrong thread. 

[Paul Marossy]

I think what you need to do is bypass the middle man and get them straight from the manufacturer. With the way Wampler is growing, I think it might become a necessity. And it would be cheaper, too, as you would cut out the middle man with his markup. The only trick is actually finding the manufacturer...
