knob upgrade for DFAM
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.jamesfarrell wrote:Yeah I bent over and ordered from the UK and will see then in 2 months when they arrive.

These look similar, and no overseas shipping:

Re: knob upgrade for DFAM
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.

Re: knob upgrade for DFAM
I ordered some high-quality knobs from:
https://www.mammothelectronics.com/coll ... stic-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:
https://youtu.be/9pwYgESNBFc
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.

Re: knob upgrade for DFAM
Actually no, I just used their cheapest/slowest shipping option with no tracking. I figured I would eventually get them.jamesfarrell wrote:Don't know how you got yours so quick.

Re: knob upgrade for DFAM
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

Re: knob upgrade for DFAM
This is BAD information. It's one thing to try and HELP people with good advice BUT when you present something like this as an option and it doesn't work(which I'm sure you found out) the least you could do is come back and let everyone who reads this know that the product you linked to doesn't work.piper wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 5:28 pm For those in the US I found these on Amazon. $7 for 10 black and aluminum knobs.

CLARIFICATION : the above product link DOES NOT work with DFAM. I know because I ordered it. The POT posts on the DFAM aren't long enough. These knobs have a recessed post that make them unusable on the DFAM AND Subhamonicon. They could potentially work of you sawed off the bottom 20mm? of the barrels but who wants to do that ? I'll try to follow this up with something that does. You'd think MOOG would have the sense to offer something like this that actually works BUT ?????
Really pathetic for a "PREMIUM" product line.
