Which Knobs

[Kipper4]

Where do you guys get your stomp box knobs from?
Uk based. I was thinking keep it simple black or cream colour.
I like the pointer ones and the boss style.

tayda are very cheap for knobs...  dollar=pound..

Davies 1510 Clone Black Knob

You mean these Astro?

I was thinking the bakelite type thing.
These would look good though. It's a shame they dont come 6.3mm splined type.

I can only find knurled shaft pots and knobs for round shafts on tayda. Seems a little strange having to buy either pot or knob from a different place, or did I miss something?

[Thecomedian]

.50$ per pot? Sweet jesus....

How can they afford such savings? like the internet walmart lol

[Mustachio]

The knobs have a set screw and you can make em work on knurled shafts , I think deadastro says to take the lil tab you cut off the top of the pot and wedge it in the knurled split shaft to keep it from bending to the set screw and your in Bidness!

^ yep...

[Kipper4]

I remember you saying that now Astronaught. Great thanks for the help

[stinky]

Thanks for the tip.

I normally use doctor tweek or eBay. You can sometimes get some nice black aluminium and plastic knobs pretty cheap.

Damn, I just clicked on that link and Tayda is out of stock on BOTH aluminum knobs! Its 15% off time now too...

[Kipper4]

That'd be me Astro. Were famous for our sausages and our spuds.
I just googled effects knobs and no i didnt get swamped with porn i found this.
Now hows this for value. About as good value as Tayda.
(didnt check postage rates)

^ not bad for a quick order up..

lincolnshire/cumberlands and mash are my fav's...good wholesome grub.

[Kipper4]

A man after my own heart Astro. Our sausages are awesome.

From knobs to bangers.  With Rob - and now Rich - on the thread, it was bound to happen...          This is diysausageboxes.com, right??   

[bluebunny]

BTW, the good Doctor (Tweek) is in Notts. and has some pretty reasonable fare (knobs, not sausages).  The Davies 1900 lookalikes are similar in price to Tayda.  I also like the metal clad plastic ones.

[Kipper4]

He's very reasonable and local mate. I havent ruled anyone out yet still doing research.
Thanks and the sausage is kinda gnarly too Rob.
Have you got a thing about sausages here?

When ever i hear the word i think of an old tv reality series where they used to put bad boys on army basic training. The name of it escapes me now.
I will never forget what the drill sargent said to one of the lad.
The lad called him Sarge.
The sgt got up in his face and said something like "Theres only two kinds of sarge and thats a massage and a sausage are you thinking of massaging the sausage boy?
Needless to say me laddo got his just desserts.
It sure amused me.

[deadastronaut]

^ lol, yeah that was 'bad lads army'....excellent series.
