Pedal Tip: got knobs that are hard to turn?

Post by FuzzHugger »

Reposted from the FuzzHugger Facebook page:

Got those small synth knobs on a pedal? Is one or more hard to turn? You've been pushing down on knobs while turning, and over time, pushing them onto the threads of the potentiometer. Grab a tiny flathead, loosen the knob, and pull slightly up until you see the smooth unthreaded shaft. Re-tighten, and your knobs are easy to turn again!

:joy:
