They fold up for toting and are very sturdy. I have a lap steel, Roland SP6 drum pads, bicycle horn, cowbell and a cup holder mounted to one and my electric cello and tambourine mounted to another. I use drum stands to mount stuff to for performance. Like so: Uglyface Demoīut now the OKnob has competition in the form of the KickDisk, a circular, clear plastic replacement knob. I’ve enjoyed using OKnobs to control the cutoff frequency on filter-type effects, especially when playing The World’s Nastiest Stompbox™. It lets you manipulate pedal knobs by “kicking” the OKnob’s arms or resting your foot in the fork where they meet. Option Knob also created the OKnob, a Y-shaped replacement knob for stompboxes. Even so, the VKnob makes the technique easier, and it may be a godsend for pickstyle players. FWIW, I tend to play fingerstyle, and I’m accustomed to spinning knobs with my pinky while picking strings with my thumb. It takes getting used to, and it may collide with some whammy bars, but it’ll be a cool solution for many players. There’s a half-inch notch in the lever, perfectly position for resting your picking-hand pinky and spinning the knob without having to stray too far from the springs. It’s worth investigating if you’re interested in pedal steel-style swells, “manual tremolo,” or wah-flavored tone-knob manipulation. I just procured some clever new gizmos designed to help unfortunate players who were born without 12-inch fingers and five-foot arms.įirst up: The VKnob from Option Knob, an angled plastic lever that replaces standard volume and tone knobs. Ever wish your finger was a little bit longer?
