Re: replacing the knobs

2010-01-13 by rpcfender

Hi Adrian

> I was wondering if anybody knows if its easy to replace the rotary encoders. I was thinking about installing some rubber knobs for a better grip. Any advice would be highly appreciated (also about where to buy the knobs).

The knobs are a standard rotary knob used on volume and tone controls and are a push fit.
They have a flat area on one side of the shaft.

Any knob that looks like this on the inside
C|
should be OK
The BC knob looks like this

but the < part is just a bit of plastic to act like a spring to hold the knob on.
Watch out for the diameter of the new knob. There is a circle of LEDs you don't want to cover.
Pull one off and have a look.

As far as where to buy them I'm not sure where you are.
In Australia try Jaycar in the US try Mouser or DigiKey, the UK Maplin (are they still around?) or the internet, but I htink you should probably see them before you buy them so you get what you want.


All the best
