Buddas lost his knob!!!

4on6

Trying (with difficulty) to park the double entendres there…
I have a Budda SD30 combo that I used for a gig last night and noticed that I’ve lost one of the knobs somewhere along the way. They’re quite unusual, a bit like a chicken-head but more art-deco triangle. The pot is a solid shaft (Matron… PLEASE!!!)
Anyone have a spare by any chance??? Know where I might source one?? Are Budda still owned by Peavey?? Could try contacting them I guess.. found it difficult to glean any uk contact details on the interweb. 

As usual, any help much appreciated. 

Regards all!

If you can't get a single replacement, you might consider removing & keeping safe the other originals, then replace them with chicken heads or some other style. Pragmatic view

I remember some Budda effects pedals being sold at bargain basement prices some years back (end of line clear out? - I'm not sure if they are still made). They had the same knobs I think? You might find one at a cheap enough price to cannibalise the knobs.

Yes. Good point… seems a shame but would certainly be a way forward. Thx.

No idea why these don't show as images, just links...

You could steal the one from the back panel (Slave Out) and use something else for that one.

Thx…. Sold out 6 years ago… d’oh!! 

Really not sure about the alternative, aesthetically. Have a feeling I’m going to go all perfectionist trying to find something that looks as good as the originals.

OMFG??? I had completely missed that one. Was just about to do cartwheels around the flat… went to the hall to look at the amp… and that ship is sailed!! Obviously happened once before and someone else used up that option. Slave out has a very average looking chicken head on it. 

Thanks for the thought anyway!!!
(Don’t know whether to laugh or cry now!!)

The Knob Gods are cruel.

Be careful with the ‘pedal as a solution’ option - it looks to me like the knobs on those are push-on types without a grub screw, at least on the cheap pedals.

Tell me about it!

Have some 3D printed maybe? You can fit the grub screws and internal fixings to that fairly easily I should think

Thank you sir!! Yes I surmised as much from ebay photos. No grub screw hole.
