Hi all. I noticed the knobs on my S-100 only go up to 9. I'd like to get a bit more volume from my HB-1s so wondering where I can get suitable knobs that go up to 10 (or better yet, 11!).

Pics below. Thanks in advance for the help.

I think the reissue knobs go to 10 but don't say "tone" and "volume" on them. What you have fetches a pretty penny. Keep 'em and get an amp that goes to 'leven. :lol:

I have two that go to ten.

I'll trade you and even pay postage.

(But you have to be joking, right? I mean, I know that you're joking about this making it louder (of course), but I don't know if you're joking about needing a couple of the newer style knobs?)

Ha, you added that last line later didn't you Kent? I just recently noticed that the knobs only went to 9 & thought it a little odd - I don't think I have seen that elsewhere & sought to get some more info. So, no, not really looking for some newer knobs. Sorry.

Last night, I ordered a pizza & the guy asked if I wanted it cut into 6 or 8 pieces. I said "Oh no, just 6! I'm trying to get on a diet & there's no way I should be eating 8 pieces of pizza"... he looked at me kinda funny...can't understand why...

:) :)

And, in case you guys are drinking (perhaps especially if you are), you might also want to note that by starting at 0 the knobs with 10 on them really do have 11 positions on them!! :) Yeah, that's just the (slightly tipsy) computer scientist in me coming out.

No amp could really handle 10 from the HB-1's so they had to stop at 9 just to be on the safe side.
