How Do You Make The Knobs Glow?

Most of our guitar knobs are made using a UV reactive resin. They can be charged in direct sunlight for a short bust in color (aqua or green). Some other light sources will also work to charge a lesser degree.
For the most dramatic effect though, we recommend using a UV flashlight or standing near a blacklight. This will bring out the true color of the knobs & really make them pop!

Are Custom Guitar Knobs Difficult To Install?

Installing custom guitar knobs is typically a straightforward process, and with Iron Age knobs, it's even easier. Our custom knobs are designed for tool-free installation – you simply pop off the old ones and press in the new ones. 

Are Guitar Knobs Universal?

Guitar knobs are not universal as they are designed to fit specific types of guitars and potentiometers. There are various types of knobs, such as those with set screws that attach to a split shaft potentiometer or those that fit over a solid shaft potentiometer with a knurled or smooth surface. The size and shape of the knob can vary depending on the guitar and the specific model.

Why Are Guitar Knobs Called Pots?

Guitar knobs are called "pots" because they are short for potentiometers, which are electronic components used to adjust the volume, tone, or other parameters of a guitar's pickups or circuitry. The term "pot" originates from the rotating shaft that is connected to a resistive element, which alters the electrical resistance in a circuit. This changes the output of the guitar's pickups, allowing the player to adjust the sound. As a result, "pot" has become a common slang term for guitar knobs.

Do Your Guitar Knobs Pull Off?

Our guitar knobs are designed with a secure press-fit mechanism that ensures a snug fit on metric-sized potentiometer shafts. While they don't have set screws, they're engineered to stay firmly in place during regular use and can even be used with push-pull potentiometers. However, they can be removed when needed, though this requires more deliberate force.

How Do You Replace Guitar Knobs?

To replace guitar knobs, you need to remove the old knob by loosening a set screw or prying it off the potentiometer shaft. You can use microfiber towel or some thin guitar picks to do the prying, never use metal or anything that could damage the guitar finish.

Next, carefully install the new knob by aligning it with the shaft and pushing it on. Finally, test the new knob to ensure it functions properly & turns smoothly.
