  • Metric Knob Mod?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to mod metric guitar knobs so they fit onto US (Imperial) CTS Pots?

    Yes, the mod involves going to a shop or online and buying the right type of knob as a replacement.

      Are the imperial ones larger?
      I have just drove progressively larger drill bits into knobs till they wedged on

        Good thing is that it’s a mod you can do yourself.

          The problem isn't so much the diameter but the different number of splines.
          But, if you are using solid opaque knobs, you can do what Ehd suggested. If the knobs are transparent/tinted drilling out the hole slightly will show and look pretty horrible.
