Tim's Twisty Knob!

Flanging_Fred

I'm having a bit of an issue with my Tim overdrive pedal: the knobs on it turn really easily and I keep knocking them out of position in rehearsals. This is getting on my tits a bit.

Is it possible to tighten up the pots or some other solution other than just banging a load of gaffa tape on them?

I only use boutique gaffa tape. It makes a huge difference. Pricey though.

you can buy tiny rubber o rings. Put them over the shaft and press the knob down onto them then tighten. This gives enough friction to pre by the knobs slipping around.

Like a small gromet type thing? That might work, I'll see if I can find something...

Thx for the idea

I bought a box of O rings at B&Q for next to nothing and as Thorpy says, they work a treat. I use them on most of my pedals because once they're dialled in I tend not to change the settings.

Just a quick thank you for the replies. I bought a 99p pack of rubber shower hose washers from Robert Dyas. They do the job perfectly. Cheers.
