I like my knobs big, round and made of wood!

[Argonaut]

I love to twiddle knobs, and I am thankful that this company has given me big wood. en. Knobs. To twiddle.

OH GOD I AM A HORRIBLE PERSON

[nathanvacha]

i'm asuming (and hoping) that this's a joke?

[MonoBrow]

El oh El!!!

[Slipperman]

Anyone using aftermarket AC cords?

SM.

Hey, for $485, it's a steal

Exactly. They steal $485 from you and send you $5 worth of lathed wood.

[TheReal7]

Think of it more as a entry fee to the Morons Club. $485 is your entry fee and the knob is your keepsake.

[PRobb]

The beech wood is coated several times with C37 lacquer for best sound as pointed out by Dieter Ennemoser.

Dieter is an asshole. Everybody knows the vintage knobs with the C34 lacquer are the only ones worth having!

Completely accurate. You're supposed to wear them on your nipples on their annual festival! The indicator can be worn up (happy mood) or down.
This also makes them a mood eq, you can tweak how you feel.
bit like a mood crystal but then interactive.

eeeh..

Nice.

[FalconerHK]

Seriously? Wooden knobs? $450? $450?!?!?!

God, I gotta get into the HiFi snake oil biz. I wonder how many assholes lined up to buy those stupid things? If I was the reseller I'd laugh my ass off every time an order came through.

[TheTruffleKing]

Well, this is why I posted this, so I could roll on the floor with all your responses...too funny!

Personally, I find that using Minwax Walnut stain imparts a big, warm sound.

[Tibbon]

If this made sense... then automated consoles with moving faders would be the worst sounding things ever!

The same people who own (and let you know about it) $100,000 stereo systems and keep them (speakers right against the wall) in a small, completely untreated rectangular room with low ceilings. But hey, the addition of the wood knobs is sure to make such a great sonic impact. They haven't heard an improvement like this since they bought the $500 power chord for their reading lamp......

[matt thomas]

they also have a $350 behringer mod!

"Much more music, resolution, emotion, and drive. This is clearly the mod you want if you are on a "All out assault" for the best sonic performance from these units. "

WHAHAHAAAA HA

Please give the unit well over 300 hours to break-in with this clock. We wire the clock into the circuit with Audio Consulting silver wire cable and cotton tubing for the best digital connection.

LMAO

sure, and we believe you

[frans]

I have seen knobs like these in a local shopping mall...for furniture as handles on closet doors or something. Actually thought I could use some for a DIY project...I had no idea it would take me to the next level...snicker!

But, hey, what do I know.

Absolutely. That's why I bought a '58 Les Paul and cut it up to use the wood for fader knobs. Much more warmerer.

And you don't actually mix while sitting in a metal chair, do you?

[max cooper]

So, what happens if you don't use knobs on the potentiometers?

[Acoustic Cloud]

I was talking with Warren a while back about these wonderful wooden knobs.
I said, "I have a lathe in the garage, I should make some of these and undercut them at half price!"

He said he would market them for me.....eehe

Has anyone seen the interconnect cables with their own power supplies?

I think a grand each they were.....it just gets even dumberer, lookin for warmerer..

[Tone Laborer]

That's what she said.

[TheTruffleKing]

You wonder how long a Dave Hill or a Greg Gualtieri can survive in a modded Behringer world...

Oh, but those ordinary knobs wouldn't have the C37 acoustic polymer vibro resonance barrier super coating™ now would they?

Now, correct me if I am wrong, but guitar manufacturers prefer wood for electric guitar bodies because of why?

Wouldn't you rather have a plastic knob with no resonance or nearly none over a wood knob that has a resonance lower in f?

Better yet, wouldn't you want a knob that is metal, specifically tuned up to a higher frequency, say at 192kHz, so that the vibration is out of the way of the precious audible range?

I dunno about the wooden ones, but I put a set of Fender Tweed brown platic kobs on my Digi 002R and at least it is easier to turn tem and get accurate resetting of levels... and it looks much cooler too!

[ODZ]

man, i think I gotta go with PDC on this one. One of my first thought s b4 I scrolled through the responses. Wood resonates
