Er, knobs. On the AD-20.
First I used Plastic Weld to glue plastic spacers from the hardware store on top of the existing knobs.

Then I just added a couple of hardware store knobs on to those spacers. The spacers made them long enough to use the set screws effectivley.

They have a nice feel and I'm happy with them. Probably won't see field use for a couple of weeks.
Anyone done this?
It was pretty easy, but we'll see how it holds up over time. I considered sinking a little wood screw into the spacer and old knobs, but decided against it.

nice work ! :)
-
that's really cool!
-
nice!!! it really looks great and professional ;D
-
Good job. +T for that.
-
those look great, though i must admit i was a touch curious coming into this thread.
-
well i've always been a little curious moke :D
-
Yeah, that's what I've always said about you, Jonny...kind of a curious guy. ;)

Yeah, I used a little trick I learned in a marketing class back in college. Seemed to work!
-

Thanks. I'm not done yet either. Next will be the miniplug input. I have parts on the way. There's room just to the left of the knobs.
I may also try to incorportate a built-in battery box after that, but I'm not sure if I'll bother. Might be fun. I like doing these little projects.

Apparently, chicks dig it. I'm all for doing what I can to ensure a lovely lady's supreme pleasure, but that's taking it a bit too far. :o

But do you dig the chicks who dig it? I think there's plenty of chicks out there who are OK with the normal amount of genital mutilation (circumcision). I think they call them normal chicks.

At least one, yes. She's too hooked on her dude's Prince Albert to give me the time of day, though. :-\

nice work. i used to hate those little bastards on my ad-20......I had a sweet coax out on mine though....so that kinda made up for the crappy knobs. +T

I'd do that one too, but I guess I don't really care about coax since I'm using a JB3. Might be a nice thing for patchers, but since I'm not running pimp mics there won't be that many.
The coax mod is just mounting a connector, right? It's regular s/pdif but on a miniplug IIRC. Just curious.
-
it is a coax out mounted to the box on the opposite side of the gain knobs. Len at Core sound did the mod. it's a regular s/pdif coax.

She's not the one digging the dude's Prince Albert. Or am I completely clueless about what you're getting at here (wouldn't be the first time!)? :-\
-
not bad job.
I've always wanted to fix my M1 knob (dunno if possible). I've always found it too loose for my liking.
-
we're all thinking why you want the time of day from Prince-Albert-Lover if you have a hot asian, maybe not in those words...

Built in battery box is easy. Route the hot of the 9volt pug to a resistor. connect the resistor to the jack. Repeat for the other channel.
Then between the existing circut and jack put a 2.2 capacitor. repeat for the ohter channel.

Ohhhhhhhh!! Well, the PAL was a while ago, she's no longer around. But if she was...I wouldn't want just her, no, no...I'd want her AND Jen. 8)
