Anyone know where I can get NOS, old, or repro knobs for a triangle Big Muff? I’m missing one of the ones on the right, but I’d like a set of either.

Anyone know if the knobs on the triangle in the middle are original?

Thanks

I have never seen the ones in the middle. I think those are replacements. The silver knobs in the top right photo don’t look original either. The knobs in the bottom right photo I believe are original as I have seen several V1 Muffs with them, and obviously the black knobs are original Daka-Ware.

I have searched and searched, but I have found nothing like these available from any suppliers. Occasionally there is a guy who sells knobs similar to the V1 silver knobs on ebay. They are very close in looks to the original knobs.

Davies Moulding makes several that fit, but none that look like any of the original V1 knobs.

Yes, I thought the knobs on the middle one were non-original. The top and bottom right are the same muff though (same photo actually), and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen those knobs on other triangles, but I’m missing one…
I got a few regular muff knobs from Davies last year — the black dakaware ones w/ the pointer. Minimum order for a batch is 200 though, so it’s a bit excessive. I ended up buying a dozen at a markup from a guy in England (who presumably bought a few hundred and is selling them on).

Thanks

Mouser Electronics and a few other companies sell them in small quantities. I think Mouser has the whole Davies line on their website. That’s where I get my V3 replacement knobs (#1470). They have a model 1510 that looks similar to the black V1 knobs, but theu are only about half the size.

The knobs on your right Muff look similar to these.

I have two V1 Muffs with them and I have seen several other V1 Muffs and a three knob Foxey Lady with these exact knobs, so I assume they were production.

I recently got these — they look black from a distance, brown on coser inspection and under strong light you can see they’re actually a kinda 70s faux marble deal. They’re cool.

Any one got any leads to finding these Sovtek Green muff knobs?
Any help would be awsome

No one is currently making those Sovtek style knobs. If you ever find any, be sure and let us know. There are a lot of us that need them.

devonjulip those are swank knobs! I’m always on the lookout for killer knobs and pretty much never cross paths with any suitors for younger generation big muffs or sovtek.

I have the same black ones as on that Big Muff Pi on the left. They came with my Mike Matthews Freedom Amp. I’d take the knobs off the amp and sell ’em for $xx for the set.

Update 11/8/2010: No love for the knobs. Offer removed. Keeping them on the amp to keep it stock.
