knob upgrade for DFAM

[jamesfarrell]

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

(You will need 16 of the Black - Small (6.35mm Round Shaft) for the pitch and velocity and 3 of the Black - Mini (6.35mm Round Shaft) for the VCO and Noise levels)

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-knobs

I 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:

It 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:

Don't know how you got yours so quick. Did you do the super duper fast shipping?

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

I ordered mine 3/21. Website says they just left customs.

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

For those in the US I found these on Amazon. $7 for 10 black and aluminum knobs. I don't have either the knobs or the DFAM yet, but the DFAM is on the way
