Cream chickenhead knob

This is a cream-coloured equivalent to the black chickenhead knob. Not a lot to say about these, except that they’re affordable and effective. The pointer makes it easy to read control settings at a glance, and the shape makes them easy to turn for the most sweaty-handed guitarist. The knob fits to the pot’s shaft via a brass set-screw in a brass sleeve, which also make it a lot longer-lasting and reliable compared to those modern knobs where the set screw is threaded into softer plastic.

Dimensions & info

From tip-to-tail, it’s 32mm long. On the underside, the 19mm-diameter central ‘hub’ has a recess to cover the pot’s mounting nut.
