Pedal Control protectors

[CodeMonk]

Danelectro uses a little piece of plastic to protect the control knob from accidentally getting bumped.



Wondering if any else has built a pedal that uses something to protect control knobs from getting nudged.

Something like this where the control knobs are protected using whatever material (Lexan, Aluminum, etc.).
Basically like a tube with one end closed.

The Visual Sound V2 series has something similar designed into the case, also set up to prevent accidental steps on the pedal from breaking knobs.

Small Bear's new enclosures have a lower level for pots and switches that should go a long ways towards lessening  the chances of doing dance damage.

Home Depot! Drawer pulls man! Tons of designs and materials.

Home Depot has loads of surprises. Love that place.
I ask because with one of my pedals, whenever I stepped on it, my foot would sometimes hit one of the knobs on another pedal.
When I would activate it, A Visual Sound Liquid Chorus (Awesome chorus pedal BTW, thanks RG), sometimes the pedal below it would get one of the controls nudged,
I ended up putting the VS pedal on a riser to solve the problem.

I think Ibanez had some with control shafts that retracted into the box, like some car radio controls do.

This may not work for you.

Home Despot. Plumbing aisle. Cap for PVC pipe. (Actually I think this is for PVC furniture.) Drill hole.

I plan to bolt a large electrical box to a concrete wall. It needs to move 1/2" to fit the conduit. I don't want the anchor studs scraping the wires. So I figure drill the box 1", use 1.5" caps drilled 1/2" as washers, hollow end facing me. I can finger-snug the achor studs, shift until conduit mates nice, snug well. The caps come higher than the stud-nuts so the wire can't touch studs or nuts.

These pipe-caps are darn near unbreakable underfoot. I already used a couple on markers for an underground power line that I do NOT want to "lose" if I ever have a backhoe on my land. (Power lines exert a powerful force-field which attracts digger buckets.)

Do any spray-cans still have metal caps?
