Neat Expression Control Knob

[Twister]

I found a really nice expression control knob made by a guy in Spain. Well made, it's held up well in my board, and takes almost no real estate. Not inexpensive, but competitive with any other control knob option I've found other than DIY. The knob is damped and won't change value when jostled but the assembly itself can pivot in the 1/4" jack if that happens. Not a big deal as long as my sound doesn't change in that moment.

Highly recommended.

Very cool! I just wish it was easier to get in the USA.

My order came pretty quickly, and I ordered enough to defray the shipping (try different order quantities to see where the cheapest per-unit price is). I saw someone reselling them on Reverb if you just need one and don't mind paying the markup. Oriol at El Garatje is a nice guy and came up with the excellent idea in the first place, so put the money in his pocket if you can.

Make sure you order the correct polarity.

Make sure you order the correct polarity.

Not sure what you mean Yek, it's a straight voltage divider and there's no polarity option offered.

That's very cool! What parameters do you use them for? @yek ?

I meant wiring.

Hi, I'm the builder of the Expression Knobs.

I just wanted to mention that originally @yek bought a custom version (I think it was for RJM GT/22) and @Twister bought the normal ones.

I guess it might depend on the pedal and usage. If anybody needs the modified version like @yek please contact me by email before ordering at info@elgaratge.com.

Thanks
