dudewheresmybass Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Hi I managed to drop my distortron yesterday and one of the Bakelite (I assume) knobs bit the dust. Does anyone know where I could source another? Cheers peeps Quote
ikay Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 If it's the one on the left you're after run a search on ebay for 'chicken head knob'. There are lots of them on ebay. The one on the right looks like a Fender jazz control knob, replacements also available on ebay. Quote
dudewheresmybass Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 I need the knob for my zvex distortron. It looks like the small knob you get on a jazz bass, but I need some help with confirming this, as I don't use jazz basses Quote
Al Heeley Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) look at Dr Tweek website - hes got a lot of knobs, also Banzai music, and of course ebay - effects pedal knobs, you will find just what you are after. http://www.doctortweek.co.uk/ http://www.banzaimusic.com/ http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=effects+pedal+knobs&_sacat=See-All-Categories Edited March 7, 2012 by Al Heeley Quote

[/quote] On a serious note, if that footswitch is a standard sized one then those knobs are almost certainly Jazz Bass control knobs. You could always put the unbroken one in your pocket and pop into a local music shop to check... Quote
