I have the 8 Step Program and am realy digging it, but one thing seems concerning. The knob is a different one than usual and its thinner and much taller than the old solid white knob used on the POG2, Stereo Memory Man w/ Hazarai, Ravish, etc. It towers above all my other pedals on the pedalboard and I am worried its going to snap off when I haul it in my gig bag. Can this knob be replaced with a short white one, or is it stronger/better than that one? Was there a reason for using this one instead?
