There’s knobs and there’s Effectrode knobs

Here’s a look at the first solid phenolic ivory 1510 knobs Davies Molding have custom made for Effectrode. This kind of quality 1510 knob has not been available until we started working with Davies last year to resurrect this classic design. Davies are an American company who have been in the knob manufacturing business for over 80 years. They know quite a lot about it! This is the way knobs used to be made back in the day.

The knobs are laser engraved to recess the marker lines which are then painted on by hand. This means the marker lines will not wear off as happens with pad printing on the surface. Phenolic resin is a superior material to ABS plastic which is used in the gaudy Taiwanese copy, which is prone to degradation in sunlight and it doesn’t age well at all. More often than not they crack as soon as the locking screw is tightened up. No such problems with the high quality phenolic knobs though – they’re much tougher and they look more classy too!

Thanks Phil. Are you ever going to make a flanger or chorus pedal or a spring reverb based on tubes? It surprises me that there are no or extremely limited options out there of these pedals with tubes. Would be really something if there would be an effectrode tube based spring reverb with the possibility to switch from a two spring to a three spring reverb! Can't wait for the pc2a compressor!

I have considered building a tube driven spring reverb and wah at some point. A tube flanger or chorus would be beast of a pedal though requiring a lot of tubes for a true tube flanger. All the best, Phil

Oh wow, Phil. A tube flanger... with lots of glorious tubes. Yes, please! So stoked about the Leveling Amplifier!!! I'm already on the list, it looks like the instrument will be amazing. Shame shame on me, I caught Lightning Boy lookin' at me, and for a moment, I gave their compressor a thought. Now I can keep on with Effectrode aaaand have an adjustable knee! Yay!

Hi Phil, what do you think of the a/da flanger reissue from a technical point of view? It is not tube based, but I have not seem flangers with tubes yet. All the flangers out there have bucket brigade chips. What would you consider to be a good flanger available in the market today from a technical point of view? Cheers! Love your pedals!!!!!

Hi Eduard, My fav flanger of all time is the Electric Mistress because it has a beautiful rich, deep sound. I don't have any experience of using A/DA Flanger so can't comment on that one. Thanks for your feedback on Effectrode pedals! Best regards, Phil

Hi Chris, Glad to hear the Fire Bottle works great with the Tweed and Deluxe to give them a push and beef up your tone. It was designed around both these amps as I'm a huge fan of Leo Fender's work back in the day. Thanks for your comments. All the best, Phil

I'm a bassist and I'm wondering Is the Tube Drive a good bass pedal? Thank you

Hi Jonathan, Yes the Tube Drive works very well as a bass pedal. Sorry about the delay in responding - I've only just noticed your post.

These knobs look great! Which pedals do they come with or can they be ordered separately?

Phil June 5, 2015 at 10:35:23 Log in to Reply

Hi Nathan, Thanks for that. These ivory coloured knobs will be on the new Delta-Trem and Fire Bottle pedals. Yes you can purchase them separately. We expect to receive the first batch in the next two weeks. Best regards, Phil
