This sucks, can't find these in the USA
Knob upgrade. Looks awesome. I would have paid extra for this. Charge another $50 for the DFAM Moog and give us real knobs

Yeah I also ordered them yesterday from Thonk. I really didn't even think about putting knobs on mine until I saw the video and thought that it really does look quite a bit nicer.

I just received my knobs from Thonk in the post today. Got them quicker than I thought coming from the UK to the US. The really do spiff up the looks of the DFAM.
Thanks for the heads up there James.

I ordered some high-quality knobs from:https://www.mammothelectronics.com/collections/plastic-knobsI used 16 of the "1250 Series Fluted Plastic" knobs for pitch/velocity.
And 3 of the "1900 Davies Style" knobs for the VCO's.
Then, I adapted this brilliant hack:https://youtu.be/9pwYgESNBFcIt works perfectly: the hole in the 1250 knob is 0.02" larger than the DFAM knob and the thick "milkshake" straw is 0.01" thickness = a perfect fit!
Make sure to cut the plastic straw insert to 0.2" x 0.7"
The thick plastic also acts as a protector to your DFAM knob when you tighten the screw on the new knobs!
Much more precision dialing in the pitches and velocities.
Here are some photos:

Actually no, I just used their cheapest/slowest shipping option with no tracking. I figured I would eventually get them.

I can’t believe we have to buy half the knobs ourselves.
Those trim pot thingies are horrid.
