Classic F2B Knobs on the Horizon
« on: October 07, 2024, 03:57:05 PM »
For fans of the early "designer" knobs on the original F-2B preamps, we have sourced a very similar knob, but this time in a high-quality Swiss-made collet knob like we have been using on our basses and guitars for years. Check it out!
These knobs are very shiny and look stunning. I opted for the indicator line on the cap since the original knobs just has a tiny dot on the top edge of the knob and were a little hard to see.

We have a new product coming out soon that will use these knobs, so they will be available for old F-2B facelifts. The plan is to be $12/knob or $89 for a set of 8. More on the new product soon!

Nice retro knobs, are they available on the Alembic store?

The new product is intriguing, look forward to hearing about it!  😊

Not in the store yet - I only have samples now. I probably only have 2-3 sets available right away, as I have to reserve the bulk for my new product. The real inventory will hit in about 6-8 weeks.

This is so cool! There's something about those blue F-2Bs with the red knobs (says the guy with two...) This might be a sign to fire my local one up - ok, maybe as soon as this heatwave ends...

New product....  Alembic Distortion pedal that recreates that 'battery going dead sound'?      ???
