No knob pedals?

Post by John »

Are there any no-knob pedals of note? I have a vintage footswitch in a large enclosure and I'd like to build or rehouse something in there without modifying the enclosure, therefor a knob is no-go. All I can think of is a clean boost at a preordained amount. There are 2 switches on it so I could actually put two boosts in one, but I am not a big clean boost kinda guy so I'm looking for other ideas. Thanks!

The Mellowtone Melx fuzz and the Green Ringer are the first two that pop into my head.

Then when Eric came out with the Melx2, he caved and put a volume knob on it

The Melx was basically an Electra distortion if I remember correctly. The Green Ringer was a weird clangy octave-up that sounded a little like a ring mod.

I'm liking the idea of the Green Ringer and there are some kits online. What I miss the most about the OFO Disnortion I sold was the octavia effect.

Green Ringer was what I was comin' to suggest.

That and the aforementioned Oath.

The Oath is so amazingly loud, it's not be be causally embraced.

The recent thirdman records (Union Tube and Transistor) Bumble Buzz has no knobs

Henretta has a whole line of small pedals with internal trims only, no knobs

could you just make any pedal clone and just leave the pots inside the enclosure without drilling holes. this way you can find the sound you want on the inner pots and not worry about bumping them.

i was actuall thinkin bout the marsh chapel
cant you build that board sans knob?
or any board for that matter
i woulda texted you this question
but maybe someone else would wanna know too
like i was askin you abut removing volume pot on my guit
if you built a pedal and just left out the vol pot
it would be cranked all the time right?
im pretty sure thats the ritual/oath difference
this is ramblings of a novice
please correct me

I was under the impression that the Oath was a dimed, knobless version of the Revelation Super Bass? Wasn't the Ritual was based on a Colorsound fuzz or something?

Yes, a pot is just an adjustable resistor, so you can usually mod any circuit to replace a pot with a jumper wire or just a simple resistor. On a very rare occasion, you may need two resistors, depending on what the pot is doing and where in the sweep you want to fix it.
