Replacing Boss Knobs

[Chistopher]

Am I the only one that thinks that the best knobs to put on a Boss pedal are the stock ones? I know modders like putting their own custom knobs on for that tiny amount of brand recognition, but have any of you actually seen modded Boss knobs that you would say look better than the original? The only good one's I've seen are when I put Marshal knobs on my 40th Anniversary DS-1 that I modded to sound more like a Marshal in a box.

Marshall knobs look cool, but IME on pedals it's hard to see what they are set too under stage lights.

Boss got it right. I even like their old knobs. Easy to use, and a nice design. They sort of 'disappear' into the design of the pedal, which is what good design is.

Oh yeah for sure. They captured lightning in a bottle.

Sorry, I like MXR knobs even better. Although they would look weird on a Boss pedal just like Gibson knobs look weird on a Fender. Not bad, just...not what my brain expects to see.
