I would guess that the shaft will be roughly 6mm in girth. Get a couple of these, even if the shaft is slightly wider the stretch a little so should be able to fit.

Maplin staff are idiots, but are you telling me that if someone came in asking you where your soft touch knob is, you wouldn't laugh. I'd definitely be sniggering. (and possibly asking if they wanted me to make it hard first).

Yes, I'm immature - and proud. ;p

I'm too OCD to leave it "unfinished" with only one. for the sake of ~£3 I'd get soft-touch knobs (fNAR fNAR!) for the other pots.

besides, I think they actually look good - some nice red or green ones would go grand on there.

You knows it.

Cheers kernow. It's something that's annoyed me too every time I've used the volume pot. As an added bonus you can see how high the volume is, ideal for those late night sessions. :awe:
