Hey all,
Just wondering if anybody has seen the 'boss middle' knob elsewhere on the web. smallbear has been out of stock for a bit and I may need some urgently.

Don't know if this is exact, but it looks close.  Terrible price, though.
Have you written to Small Bear and asked when they will have more in stock?  They have been pretty good about answering similar questions from me.
Pedals built: Pulsar; Uglyface; Slow Gear; Tri-Vibe; Tremulus Lune; Blues Driver; Fender Pro Vibrato; Nyquist Aliaser; Ultra Flanger; Clone Theory; Ibanez FL-301; Echo Base; Electric Mistress (Deluxe); Boss CE-2; Gristleizer; Maestro Filter Sample/Hold.

Yeah, I checked ebay, I'm not gonna pay that much. ;)
And they seem to only have 10. I'm gonna need at least five times as much,

I'll email smallbear later if searches prove fruitless. Or I'll consider a different knob, but I really really need the top that sinks a few mm's below the edges.

Ordered a bunch of these since they looked similar. Just got them and for all itnents and purposes they may as well be the same. Just a little shorter.

I believe the Boss pedals have pots with a 6mm shaft diameter, did you make sure these are for a 6mm shaft, or are they for a 1/4" shaft (which I think is 6.3mm)?.  Just wondering, as it doesn't say in the link you provided.

As snug a fit on "regular" pots as the old ones. If not slightly snugger!

6.3 mms by the looks of it
