Pointer knobs

[DGWVI]

So, I'm picking out knobs for the AionFX Lovetones, and the pots will be getting Brutalists -



I'm wanting something pointy for the rotaries, though. So far it's between the Neve / Marconi -


And, the Fairchilds -


What say you? Also open to other suggestions

I love the macaroni knobs and have been wanting to implement them on a pedal!

Same, but they've always felt a bit fancy to me

Nah dude i think on those black sand texture enclosures it would make them look soooo good!

Please don't just assume that I'm gonna be using matte black sand textured enclosures. My builds are not a monolith, and I'm more like an ogre in that I have layers like an onion






















But, yeah... I'm using them matte black sand textures

Dude on those bottom 3 knobs think about it…. Then use normal ones for the top row!

Edit: that’s a switch in the middle bottom row!

Yeah, the rotaries are what I'm wanting pointy bits on.

And, looking at it and the Brutalist knobs, the Marconi's will definitely mesh a bit better than the Fairchilds

You could go with all black ones. Or to off set the sand black you could go with the maroon ish colored ones I’ve seen!

I was kinda eyeballing the colors. It's too bad there isn't a pink Marconi. Or a white

I love the Zonk chickenheads



The fat chickenheads



And these too

White macaroni would be awesome! But sadly I haven't seen white macaroni knobs! Maybe the gray ones would fit nicely as well.

The first and third ones are rad!

It's too bad, those Stealth Chickenheads are too big- the rotaries have about 0.75" from center of the shaft to the edge of the enclosure, and the base diameter of the knob looks to be 0.98"

Edit- nevermind all that

There's some serious sexy knob talk going on in here. I got some funky ass knobs for too much money from here. No ragrets. I think I saw some light blue Marconi in there.
