Where to buy knobs for pedals

[fleabag]

I have lost a knob, matron

Its unlikely i will find a genuine NUX pedal knob in the UK but anything thats roughly the same size will do - its a half round shaft on the NUX, ( letter D shape )

Does anyone have any idea where to get something to fit ? I suppose even a guitar knob would work if it had the right shape inside, but of all the spare knobs i have at home, none have the D shape inside to fit over a D shape shaft.

Oh, my kingdom for a funny shaped knob

Booo !

They actually mention D shaft on a few of those, but only a couple have pictures underneath, and they still look round ? Possible

Some nice links here folks, cheers, but none seem to show you the fitting inside / underneath stating that. Maybe a phone call to them would help

Thanks so far chaps, didnt know there was that many options out there. Would have been 100% easier if the NUX pedal shaft was round - damn them

If the rest of the shaft is 6 or 6.3mm diameter then it shouldn't matter if you put a round screw locking type on it. You can set the screw to fit against the flat edge.

I'm having no end of trouble finding knobs for my amp, 4mm shafts, bloody stupid thing!

If you click the little pdf document symbol it'll show you a spec sheet.

Never thought of that, bollock. Maybe one of my box of knobs will fit !

Thanks for that B ...didnt even realise those icons were clickable ! Yes, i can see some of those being the right type. Thx !

[fleabag]

Well.. no need to go hunting anymore - the king of bollocks suggestion made me go look at my knobs again.

Many of them didnt fit , but i found another few buried in the clutter. Low & behold - knobbage norvegicus

Thanks for all the help, bretheren. Knobless disaster averted

yay a happy ending and all in the 1 evening too!

Thats gotta be the fastest solution to a problem ever !

Those links may well come in handy for the future too, so they've been bookmarked

[paul_5]

I might just replace the knobs on my mod core for those little rubbery ones, they just feel better and don't look too shabby either.
