All knobs at 12:00

Forrrest · Post by **Forrrest** » Sat Dec 07, 2013 9:51 pm

I like to loosen the knobs on my amps and pedals, set the pot where I like them, and then tighten the knobs with the indicator at 12:00
that way i know where all my knobs go all the time, easily spotted if they're not in the right position.

doesn't work when the potentiometer has a D-Type shaft

But these go to 11...

Sometimes with pedals I could but if you know your amp and how you like it then Noon it is...

I tend to turn everything all the way up and just learn to enjoy how that sounds.

....or just take out the pots and replace them with fixed value resistors. By the same token, I've actually removed most of the frets on my guitar leaving only my favourite three notes.

Never taking settings suggestions from y'all again.

Both of these are valid and correct in theory...

That's a pretty good idea
...and if you're the secretive type, people won't know what your settings are.

I've never considered that but it's pretty clever.

I make little masking tape arrows and stick em on everything to indicate where the settings should be. Then after I set up I just do a quick check and fix whatever got bumped in transit.
Not a bad Idea though. Definitely something more people should pay attention to.

I just Sharpie EVERYTHING. I keep so many around you'd think I had stock in the company. A Sharpie and an alcohol wipe in case I wanna make a change.
Ghetto as hell, ya'll.

This is a great idea!

But I don't think I could do it. There is something really satisfying/relaxing/can't-find-the-word about having the knobs pointing in different directions.

I stick stars on my pedals and amps. The little ones you'd get if you were good in school when you were little. Cut them in half and use one of the points to indicate where the knob should be.

I really don't know how to feel about this.

i don't set my knobs visually. I listen to it and turn until it sounds like i want it to do
