how do i go about telling what diameter the S8 knobs are?
i am guessing i need to take the know off and measure the insides somehow?
is diameter the only deciding factor?
thanks.

Its the internal d fitting that decided it and they are pretty much standard. Can I ask why? There are lots of cheap options.

i want to replace the knobs with something better looking. maybe metal tops.runningman67 wrote:Its the d fitting that decided it and they are pretty much standard. Can I ask why? There are lots of cheap options.
so it is the "D shaft" type? ... great, thanks.
but what diameter? 6mm looks like a common size? but there are lots of other size diameter knobs out there.
not sure what i should be looking out for, never done this.
also looking for change the colour of the LEDS, but that's a different matter :)

thanks, but those look tacky and worse than the original knobs.
looking for metal tops maybe, a bit like the JDXA knobs, i guess i will buy some samples see what fits and looks decent.
there are lots of knobs out there, i just don't know what diameter and other specs. need to wing it.

The jdxa ones are brill. Try Roland support. You can email and they do get back to you.
If you find them please could you let me know. I might buy some too.
