On the classic One/Two the manual suggested gluing on the knob.:duh:
So if you got one that someone actually read and followed the directions, you might have some difficulties...


Yeah guys please do NOT super glue the knobs on  :nono: Cami would likely scream if she has to deal with any more super glued knobs.
if your not throwing the amp like a football there is no reason to glue it, Cami knows how to "adjust" the volume knob inserts so that they fit your amplifier sufficiently tight.

Glueing was my advice to prevent losing the knob.  Using glue was good and the right thing to do with the current design.  The new knobs have set-screws.   

If you super-glued it, wiggle it.  If you can't break the glue... sol.  Sorry.  Changing the knobs was never planned... Look, if you break the knob we'll give you a new one but we don't have a lot of POTs laying around so please don't break yours!

I have 12 Wood Sensation knobs left, when they are gone, they are gone!!!

Anyone who asked for one in the last 2 weeks they should arrive by Friday, except for the TWO.2 knobs.

Got mine in the mail Saturday.  Thanks Seth & Cami !  8)  Apologies for the flash-induced bad reflections/ dust, but hopefully you get the idea. 

Wife still prefers the heavy chrome version.  I like both, but dig how the wooden knob mates up w/ the zebrawood top.

No audible difference heard yet, but I need to allow for obligatory burn-in.   :lol:

I still prefer chrome, but the wood really seems to "pop" on the red. Lookin' good, Ed.

Here is another picture of a wooden volume knob. I darkened the colour by using one of those pens intended for touching up marks on wooden furniture and then added a spot of silver paint to make the volume mark easier to see. A big thank you to Seth and Cami for making these knobs available for no charge. That was very generous. :D

Guess mine is shipping tomorrow. Thanks Seth that is the most amazing gift, very generous and cool of you.

I guess my Two.2 is shipping tomorrow as well and then I should be able to get a Dodd battery ps in about a week.

I think I will also want a yellow case.

So who is going to be the first one sadistic enough to have a cnc-cut wood front panel done up for a sensation. . . or do a veneer wrap on a One/Two case?  :icon_twisted:
