I'd never heard of the Fender Performer from the '80s but now I want one. Thankfully way too rich for my blood for a goofy '80s pointy guitar.

They look similar to the EHC 569 knobs, but I think the DOD knobs are less narrow. I've definitely seen similar knobs from other OEMs in recent catalogs and kits.

If you look around long enough, you ought to be able to find an NOS set, but it's likely cheaper to just buy another DOD pedal. There's a guy on eBay (US) with a set of 3, but they're expensive and fairly gnarled. Good luck.

Thanks very much echorec - those knobs look identical and the measurements look the same (I measured mine... hmmm TWSS ). Now I wonder how the hell I get hold of them in the UK. I think I'll have to email them because their UK distributor looks like they only sell in bulk... The prices of DOD knobs on Ebay are ridiculous! Someone in the UK wanted £9 per knob! I wouldn't want to cannibalise another pedal for this one because then I'd feel the urge to fix that too... time to write a begging email

I've always wondered what those sounded like. Were those pickups active?

Passive and (supposedly) relatively low output.

Looks sick!

I'd probably hit that pointy Fender if it were neck through and had no pickup covers and a fixed bridge.

Super Electric has some fuzzes for 15% off via Reverb, so I gnabbed a Buzzaround clone. I look forward to determining if jumbo mojo components truly make a difference.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it. I had a MKI from him a while ago... Seemed like a good MKI, I just don't like the MKI sound. Buzzarounds, on the other hand, are more my speed...

Got a free Farfisa compact duo today! It's definitely beat up, dirty and doesn't work but hopefully I can get her going! I got it from the original owners brother in law who said it's been sitting in the basement since the late 70s

I picked up the EHX B9 from a local post office earlier today and will be taking it for a brief test drive shortly. Also, Idiotbox has completed and mailed preordered V2 Dungeonmasters, and I Just added Foxrox Brown Muff and Red Octave ZIM cards to the pile. A hung day, or whatever the young folks around here call it is imminent.

I saw idiotbox is having a 25% off sale today
