I'm starting a Neo-Vibe build as a Christmas present for a friend of mine and I'd like to put one of those large knobs like you see on the Fulltone vibes on it so he can adjust the speed with his foot.  I checked smallbear but they don't sell big knobs like that.  Anyone know where to find one?

I only know these knobs, but I love them for speed-knobs and stuff that I like to tune with my foot while playing:

i think i got some of the boss style knobs but larger (maybe 1.5" in diameter) at Radio Shack a few years ago.  Don't know if they still have them or not.

Yep - I picked up a knob very similar to the Fulltone Speed knob for my own NeoVibe at Radio Shack just the other day.  It was the last one in that store but there are a trillion Radio Shacks in Manhattan so I know they are out there somewhere.

If you don't in a high-density RadioCrap population, I believe that you can get them from their website.

I've been wanting to try an option knob out for a while, but hence I've never had or built any effect with a speed knob or other knob that could benefit from the use of one of these, I've never really used one.
Or get one of these: http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=685
They say it fits exactly over the MXR knob they sell, and it is rubber so you can control it with your foot.

I called the local Rat Shack and they just happened to have these beauties in stock.  Last pair they had too.  Thanks for the tip, who knew Radio Shack actually had good stuff?

Adjust with foot? Use the MXR style knobs with the rubber tops. In the store.
