Red Numbered Skirted Knobs

[Potato Cakes]

Hello, Everyone,

I doing some custom guitar amp builds and am wanting to find skirted, numbered knobs in different colors than black. It seems that at this point in time these Fender style knobs would be available in a variety of palette options. Can anyone recommend a knob manufacturer that is capable of doing custom plastic colors and not be outrageously priced for quantities of 100 or less?

Thanks!

Paul

Those are for guitars and push on 6mm knurled shafts. I am looking ones with set screws that fit 1/4" shaft as most commonly seen on Fender style amplifiers.

Thanks!

I think Sifam make some collet knobs with these options and different colors.

I am hoping to find someone stateside first. But that is a good option.

Thanks!

Seems they are called witch hat knobs and Kluson males some, contacting them might be the best bet

Though I'd be surprised for anything custom under 1000 pcs.

You could also try some of the various parts stores and maybe convince them to order / carry them.

Mark Bartel makes his own knobs for his latest amps. Not the easiest solution, but possible. I've made trim rings for the Silvertone 1446 the same way, but there were no other options there. I think the trickiest issues for a knob would be dialing in the color, drilling and tapping for the set screw, and doing the color fill for the numbers. Still doable though.

“Faith Chen” at Yueqing Onter on Alibaba at has helped me on a couple orders. For 100 you might get some customization.

Also Alibaba has this “RFQ” thing where you describe what you want, and after giving some personal data, you will get offers from companies that can (or dan’t) do what you want.
Some are hungrier and will offer free samples and some won’t. But I believe for a couple hundred knobs it’s fully safe with Aliprotect, or whatever it is called.
It’s kind of fun.
