Now this is kinda expensive (but hey, price includes shipping), and I'm sure I've seen similar empty enclosures with no Boss-like switch plate, but I found this lookalike:

And I agree that Boss knobs are all around nice-looking and tweakable. Though they (at least ones with more than 3 knobs) do have very little space between them. Are the pots just small alpha pcb mount ones? Never really checked.

Came in here to post this. Was super psyched when I found the used Boss BF-2 I got in a trade had these bad boys on it cuz I am a superficial gear fella who benefits from aesthetic bullshit.

Agreed.
Boss really needs to start selling blank enclosures for DIYers.
If I could, I'd have an entire board of single and dual boss style pedals.
Hella. VB-2 knobs are my fav of the compact pedals.
Also speaking on both knobs & pots--

I bought one of each of those Boss/Roland knobs and really need to get around to learning how to mold knobs so I can make them in nice translucent colors. :D

I have some AB International power amplifiers that have these wonderful detented pots (40 steps) that are a joy to turn, especially with those knobs.
