Didn’t Neil Young do this to control his tube amps?

I was thinking a knob that fit the trim pot might become a 3d printed object. I can’t think about how it sticks on though. So is it just a knob shaped screwdriver at that point?

Oh that wouldn't be hard to do, and to stick on I'd use some squishy/flexible filament like I do for my HX knobs so it's a compression fit
Now to convince someone at SA to send me one for free to make accessories...

7 years ago. I don't think it was ever completed or released.

Looks like they never solved the size issue either, except they went wide while I went tall. Mine was stupidly complex: remove the knob (like they did), attach the servo to the now-exposed pot shaft (vertically, not via a gear/tooth system like they did), and then it had a rotary encoder with LED lights so you could still turn by-hand/show where it was set at via MIDI.
The "compact" version added like 4" in height to each knob

Hey look, its mechanical snapshots/scenes!

 

[DrHooper]

Not really. A friend of mine made a MIDI device that physically turned analogue pots.

Ooh, do tell.

I just added an Oscillator Devices Imp to my JPTR Jive, because, well, midi.

Apologies for the hijack...

A few of those clips were really nice- both the Bass and Treble seem to be voiced really well, and even the Scoop switch which I would normally avoid completely. I do wish the Gain were a normal knob though (and that the clip would have run through different Gain settings)

I noticed that when the pedal was engaged, the signal/level jumped up a bit.
A higher level is often perceived to sound better.

I got the impression that typically those circuit mounted trimpots aren't necessarily built for rigorous daily use.

Well, we got to the point where we are complaining about a preamp increasing the volume. That should cover everything then, right?

Not quite, no one asked how much it weighs

 

[bassness]

I haven't seen the prerequisite complaints about side jacks.

something something top jacks

edit: dammit @bassness!

 

[Gsnorgathon]

Have we ascertained whether or not it's the best pedal for metal?

 

[_Tay_]

Let's not forget the manuel needs updating... Already

 

[Melvin7822]

I still haven’t seen any confirmation if the direct output has phantom power protection or not.

CONFIRMED!!! Yes, Zener diode protection.

 

[Melvin7822]

Nice!!

 

[Farrin D]

The packaging looks lovely btw!

 

[Farrin D]

And of course a board pic! It looks and sounds so good! It brings that extra umph
