Wonky pots

I ended up taking the knobs off my C to check how easily they could be replaced (cosmeticly, not the whole pots) and it's really easy as they are just half moon shaped pins.

Maybe have little mini-cars for knobs instead of the standard would be cool (maybe not so functional though 8O .

Work in progress. The bumph was fairly elusive on the 'net, regards knobs that is, and most companies are naturally anally retentive about retaining trade 'secrets' about theirs which was a hinderance to an extent, but after loads of digging I've since sourced actual manufacturers directly and am currently in talks with them. It depends on whether they'll allow me to do small runs as a 'prototype' (ie. sets of 32).

And yup, the knobs come off quite easily on the Virus. Sometimes, too easily!

>>Cool! I'd love to have lumberjacker's disease*! * A work-releated injury for lumberjackers. The vibrations of a chainsaw gradually weaken the finger muscles eventually leading to a state that you can't get grip on anything.

Lol, I think it's called Vibration White Finger. Same with those who use pneumatic drills to dig up concrete, or minors who dig for coal using machines while having to push hard on them. Mmm, niiiiiice.

Incidently, I used to hate the playstation joypad which vibrates in your hand from the off.

>>Hmmm......I think the vibrating knobs would have to be a little less powerfull than a chainsaw. Maybe like a small mobile phone buzzer thingy?

Maybe we can hook them up to the power-supply for a buzz, with the knobs being aluminium....
