I love the knobs. 

Where did you get them from?  I think it looks fantastic.  Great job.

He got them in Banzai

 

[user 10827]

yes knobs from banzai,

skal1, no real difference, it's Igors PCB's, i just added the ability to turn on each band independently, and laid out the pots differently..thats about it..

cool!

Really nice!
I love those knobs, i have 'm on my monitor controller as well, they are great and have a great feel because they are so big and metal.
I'm still thinking of doing this with my sontec or just build another one and make it the ultimate version with elma's.

ha ha DIY of the month! wow what do i win? a fairchild!?

thank you all the same.

the only problem with these knobs is it can get a bit confusing as to what one is looking at, so i think i might machine or drill tiny disc shape holes in to the tops of the knobs and infill with different colors for each band....

DIY of the month

really impressive!
but ex-aequo with yourself for your monitor controller.

Plus its +-6dB version.

Very, very nice!!

Which resistors did you change to reduce the gain range?

Kind regards,

WOW! Crazy AWESOME!!! The Knobs did cost the most i would suggest, if this are the aluminium one  Verry nice! How much did you pay for all?

 

[Igor]

yes you can get the knobs at Banzai, Digikey ( pricey mind but nice black line)

its also worth noting RS do them in loads of different sizes in black and Alu too.

  gorgeous, im just starting a sontec (switches and all that stuff) and had a very similar layout in mind .......any chance of bribing you out of that fpd file  , i totally understand if you dont want to give that thing away, it must be like your baby, in any case, beautiful piece of gear!
give me a month and ill have some gear porn up,

thanks for the inspiration!

Great work Pete, looks totally "Pro"
RE: feel of pots/ easy to nudge them - did you think to try the little rubber grommets ?
Some high end stuff has these to "damp" the feel of the controls .... worth a try

Marty.
