The former "Biggest Thingamaknob! Ever" title holder. 2¼" walnut burl volume control Thingamaknob!. This was crafted as a prototype for Bob Crump and his famous Blowtorch preamp. Bob will be missed for a very long time to come. I tip a cup of Peet's Etheopian in your name... R.I.P. Mr. Crump .

The wood for all Thingamaknobs! is carefully hand selected and cut for their beautiful grains. Thingamaknobs! are made to order, so they're all unique. Thingamaknobs! can be made from pretty much any wood available, with different inlays, bronze inserts and 1-4 set-screws. They can be round, flat, square or triangular... All Thingamaknobs! have differing costs, depending on the materials used.

"Thank you for your wonderful work on the maple knobs. It's a great example of craftsmanship and artistry that has complimented the Carina superbly." -George UK

"Beautiful, just as I'd hoped! I love all that grain your showing, I'm excited!" -Gordy DE.

"The knobs and end pieces are beautifully made, showing real craftmanship.They turned out terrific. Besides just looking good, the knobs are quite functional. How many of you fear touching your volume control in the static-y wintertime? Sometimes you can get a pretty good ZAAAAPPP through your system. A wooden knob cures that"
-Chuck CO.

"Yeah, they're here and they're on the amp. They do look very cool on the little ASL. Thanks again." -Jim PA.

"Thank you very much for the extra effort. They do look beautiful!" -Wayne CO.

"The craftsmanship of the finished thingaknobs is superb. The inlays came out even better than the portayed in the photos you sent. I'll certainly pass your info along to other folks looking to update the cosmetics of their gear. The quality of the product is only second to your generosity (seeing as you donated these sets to the A'Gon Tsunami benefit auction)." -Bradley IL.

"The knobs arrived today. They are perfect! Amazing work." -Paul CA.
