Where Do I Get Replacement Knobs ?
12/29/21 at 15:18:29
 
I'm wanting to buy some knobs for my CSP3's input and output pots..
I've found a few on Fleebay , but would like a few other choices..
Is the (I.D.) rod 6 mm..? How wide of a (O.D.) diameter will fit .75 inch.?
I see a lot for Guitars , Do the ones for guitars fit..?
Thanks BURT...

I used 1/2" diameter knobs on mine and I wouldn't go bigger.  I put a taller knob on the Master Volume to differentiate it.  They all have index lines on them.

Possibly Parts Express.  They are aluminum and very nice.  I put a bunch on my ZMA too.  It's been a long time and with a computer upgrade and several browsers later, I've lost the purchase info.

I ordered knobs that look just like the ones in Archie's link from Amazon at a cost of $7.00 for 10.  I got the black ones, although I liked the white ones a little more.  Dark seemed to go better with the amp.  There is an unlimited selection under guitar knobs - some with numbers, most without.  See if this link works to get you started:

Be sure to buy knobs with a full 1/4” opening, not 6 mm.  I learned the hard way.

Doug,

Why couldn't you just run a .250" drill bit into the 6mm hole?

You are talking .014",  .007" a side, I wouldn't think that would pose any kind of problem in reaming  them out.

Yes, that probably would have worked, but I didn’t want to take the chance of ruining a $20 set of aluminum knobs.  I wound up getting 1/4” knobs from Steve during my most recent CSP3 modification.

Reaming them would have been harder than it seems.  The bit would have grabbed and torn things up.  I have lots of experience screwing things up this way!

Donnie is a pro so don't listen to him.   Grin

Bob,

There is a small torx set screw on the lower part of each knob (unsure of size but very small). Get a set of inexpensive torx wrenches, insert the torx wrench and turn to the left loosening the screw, then simply pull the knob up. Fairly simple to do then just replace and repeat process in reverse with a new knob.

While some have opted for low cost options, I found custom wood guitar knobs on Etsy I really liked for around $50/set. Good luck.

Just realized I never responded back with what I purchased.
I found these on eBay around $10.
They works just fine but I would have been happier with an aluminum set.

Not sure about the mini Torii, but here's a pic of "the white knobs" with the CSP3 for reference. Perfect fit. 10 for US $7.49 on Amazon:

I realize that I had two knurled gold knobs that were originally on the volume pots that I replaced with Chicken-head knobs. Those gold knurled knobs look really good on the variable feedback control shafts.

I recently replaced the stock knob on my old “Had” with a “Marshall” control knob. Sent Dennis this picture, but as of yet he has offered no opinion. I’m sure he’s getting tired of my constant flow of useless B.S. (is there an ignore button on this site?) I’m questioning the looks of the one on the PSE300B amp & am wondering about a different knob on this as well. Maybe a “Fender” knob that goes to 10. But I’ve seen “tweed” knobs that go to “12”, shades of Spinal Tap.
“Mine goes to eleven, that’s one more than ten” or something like that.

My favorite knobs are the ebony ones that Steve offers. They just feel so good to the touch!

That sounds a lot more tasteful than my goofy idea, but I’m pretty goofy.

Is it not possible to just buy some knobs directly from Decware? Sad
