Another thing might be the tool you use to remove door panels in cars. Look at a local autoparts store.

The simplest DIY possible.
Use 2 12" pieces of string or fishing line.
Loop 1 string under the knob so you you end up holding both ends in one hand. Then loop the second string under the knob so that you end up holding both of it's ends with the other hand. Pull up and off pops the knob.
I like this method on stubborn guitar knobs because I don't want to pry against the guitar's surface.

Freedie this would be for removing certain knobs on a console. They are atteched via a special screw plug that a regular screw driver will not get out...

1) Sifam Collet removal tools
2) Flat-blade screwdriver with dremeled notch
3) Metal Divot tool (If you're lucky and it fits)
4) Correct diameter pipe, file/grind end down until you are left with two 'points'.

For collet knobs;
http://www.canford.co.uk/commerce/resources/catdetails/2747.pdf
Part numbers 58-957 & 58-958 .... this what you mean?
Some of the AMEK consoles have a similar arrangement for the nuts which secure the pots to the front panels.
We have a custom made pair of hand tools for that size (which we stock).
