EHX Nano knobs

Post by Casavettes »

So just got the Canyon delay in. Props to EHX for their quality control. The nut and washer on the input jack was basically falling off and the FX LVL knob was placed on wrong. So fully clockwise hits about 3 o'clock and fully counter is about 6 o'clock. Trying to pull the damn thing off but it's on there prettttty good.

Anyone have tips for removing these fuckers?
Aside from that the Canyon does sound good and can get into some weird territory.

Use a small flat screwdriver, turn the know fully ccw.gently pry the knob up. Turn the knob about 10 degrees and repeat, working around the knob. Take your time, you may need to go back and forth across the knows range a few times before it pops. Did this on a DMM XO, mega pain.

Also, protect the edge of the pedal where you lever the screwdriver with some tape or something, so you don't mar the enclosure.

I use scissors on them. Pretend that you're going to cut the shaft of the pot off.

Then just lift the knob off.

These instructions are pretty vague but you should get the idea.

Put the knob in your mouth, bite down around the knob. Have a close friend or family member or enemy try to pull the pedal out of your mouth.

My solution was also related to pulling teeth, so.

Going to ask this here, a bit off-topic:

How the fuck do you remove those little Davies 1900h knobs with the tiny screws (the knobs on a count to five). I can't find anything that tells me what size of laughably small screwdriver to get! Halp

Just really tiny flatheads work for me. Any hardware/electronics store you go to should have something....the one I have is slightly too large, and it still works--it just bores out a small part of the plastic around the set screw.
