Hey,
I bought the small ones just to see how they actually look some while ago and I didn't really like them. I mean, they look just like in the pictures, but in real life they look a lot worse. The fitting is for the knulred shaft pots and it's made out of plastic. I can look for them and take pics if you want.

Sorry altitude,
I just spent 15 minutes looking around my knob trays to realize that I used all of the futurlec ones on a dimmer for an auditorium last year...

But oh well, they feel nice, I just didn't like the way they looked.

I bought the black aluminium ones from futurelec - and they're ok - not great, but not terrible.
In the end I decided not to use them (partly because I modded my x0x and didn't end up with enough knobs, partly because they didn't feel as good as the rubber knobs - this, I think, is down to them not having a D shaft, but being fixed with a grub screw.)

Thanks for the input gents. The real appeal of these to me is the fact that they come in a variety of diameters so you could have a matching set of little and big ones..
