i actually will probably keep my stock knobs, smaller knobs don't turn as easily from small bumps while playing live. Looks like their shipping monday, hopefully by wednesday we'll all be too busy playing guitar to be on ILF!

Do not like those knobs. Didn't like the knobs on the Pharaoh either.

Of course we all have opinions. I will say that I tried quite a few knobs on it, and IMO, these were best. The knobs had to cover the nut and washer on the pot. Most knobs do not hide everything so cleanly. It was important to the design to hide the nuts. Also, with the subtlety of the enclosure, and the disappearing forest graphic, flashy knobs just didn't look right o my eye. Needed small knobs and to hide the nuts... I know there knobs aren't cool, but that's the point. That said, I want to see what you all come up with, I would have no problem changing knobs on future build batches.

These knobs def have a negative impact on the styling of the pedal.
Who can rule the forest with their knobs? we shall see....
I have never spent much time looking at knobs.
A whole new world of knobs has been opened to me (sorry)

I'm not sure on the tech specifics but I think it's like a FAC/depth control?

I get what you are saying and that you don't want the knobs to detract from the graphic.
Also, they can't be too large due to the layout but must cover the nut.
I'm not sure if these would hide the nut.
If not the ones you are using but in grey might look cool too. :idk:
