Hello, any knob made for a smooth, 1/4" shaft will work.  This is the standard in knobs.  At Small Bear, that is all of them that don't specifically say it is for a different shaft, ie 1/8" or knurled.

Personally I like these, the miniature fluted ones:

I believe they are the smallest diameter knobs at small bear, which means you can take advantage of the small size of the 9mm pots by squeezing them closer together, like Boss pedals.

Thanks very much! Too bad there isn't a black one.

Try a little tenderness.

Whoa. I just noticed that they will pre-paint enclosure to a lot of different colors (though I can't seem to see the price for paining, it's all $0). The thought of all the sanding, priming and layering of paint terrifies me. I think I'd buy one in a cool paint job, then just apply decal and some clear coat and Envirotex.

PPP is great for finishing and drilling. To purchase a painted enclosure, you add the colour to your cart and add the corresponding paint charge to your cart. The paint charges are in the enclosure sections.
