fleabag Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBollock Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 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!

fleabag Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 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.

paul_5 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
