Those 9mm are INCREDIBLY USEFUL!
Ex:
Need to mod a pedal and add a presence control to take away some shrill high-end overtones, but have limited space between the Gain & Vol where another 16mm pot won’t fit — 9mm pot fits with Davies-style 1900 knobs on top.
Add a bass control-mod to the Nobles OD… — 9mm.
Want to add a pre-gain control to a fuzz — 9mm.
Need to flatten out a Muff’s scooped tone-stack — 9mm.
Run out of space on your pedalboard for a Klon/Rat/Muff/TS808/Muff/Guv’nor/chorus/verb/phaser/boost… etc, but could squeeze a
1590A build on the board — 9mm pots.
I once bought the wrong voltage-size caps and some incorrect jacks — I tried to give them to a friend/mentor who repairs amps — “when would I ever use these?” said I — “Keep them” he
insisted.
He was right. They eventually proved useful, I needed them.
If you’re convinced you’ve no use for them, I’ll buy them from you. I’ve got some 1590A builds pending and can’t leave well enough alone and mod things I shouldn’t.
PS: take a countersink drillbit and shave 0.5mm to 1mm around the potholes to gain back some thread purchase.
