Title: THG Knobs
Post by: keurosix on November 16, 2007, 08:12:57 PM

Just how LONG do these knobs take to be delivered? Olie, how about yours?
Here is link to archive post where I first saw your LED knobs, inquired, and finally ordered some. Still no delivery. No answer to my emails.

Frustrated.

Kris,
 
I've never ordered anything from him, but after hearing about his work here and on other forums, I think your situation is WAAAAAY unusual.  Sometimes email filters do funny things, have you called Roger to check?

My LED knobs took about 4 or 5 months best I could recall. But I also had three sets of knobs ordered too. Try calling him on the phone he'll usually respond faster that way.
 
I will say though that every where I've played and turned the LED's on people loved them.  
 
Keep us posted on them.

It takes Roger a while, depending on how busy he is and how fancy your knobs are. I'd say approx. one to two months are the norm.
 
FWIW, I've got fancy THG's on my custom Orion iV, my Series I iV, my Heritage jazz box and my custom Straub amp.  
 
Still I'd call him up.

HI Roger, I've changed the batteries in the knobs once and that was about a month ago.  
Everyone loves them too.

Sounds great, Olie!  I thought they might be a hit.  The batteries seem to last quite a long while, as well. Yippee!

Hi all,
 
Here is a pic of the blue LED for Kris.  The blue LED's require more current than the red LED's so I had to modify the knob to hold 2 batteries.

Latest update,
 
I went to a local  electronics supplier who claims they do have low current LED's.  Of course, they were out of them.    This blue LED in the pic above is a super bright LED.  Let me tell you, it is exactly what it states, SUPER BRIGHT!  I will have to add a 1.5kOhm resistor to the circuit and scuff the LED dome to keep the audience from going blind.
 
More updates when I have the resistors.
