Which company has the best looking volume knob on their amps?

Fancy a Hobnob?

Thanks J. It's the wiping off part that I am having problem with. Do you use anything on the cloth? Acetone / alcohol etc?

Have not forgot to show pics the process, just taking a while.

Interesting Soviet era chickenheads.

Would you like some cream with those? BMP knob cream, 1,50 €

I like the way mtg nut is hidden with skirt. No pun intended.

How do you go about cleaning off the excess lacquer? Every time I try, I manage to wipe the whole thing clean and have to start again

Found this Sharpie white paint in home improvement stores.
It's not as durable/good as casewell but cheap fun to play with.
This was my first stab at it. Could do much better I'm sure on second try.
All my chems are at lab so wiped off excess with borrowed fingernail polish remover.

That's one sharp(ie) dressed indicator knob!

I chose a nice basic knurled aluminum knob for my amplifier project.

That is gorgeous, looks so classic Luxman.

What better excuse do you need for including bass and treble controls - it means there are more knobs!

Congratulations! It's no mean feat to emulate a factory finished fascia.

But it could be a JLH or tube pre, class D, we don't know.

It's a solid state integrated amp JF.

The death of Aesthetics...
