    So here's a question -- how far apart are the 1 and 11 marker? Are the markings -- including the non-graduated space between the 1 and 11 -- equidistant? So 360/11° between major divisions?

    I'm trying to figure out the kind of travel I need on a potentiometer so it will dead stop at the 1 and the 11. Seems to be maybe 330° or so.

    My GTE knobs arrived in the mail today, and when I went to install them, I was saddened to discover that they are incompatible with my GTT (Goes To Ten) potentiometers. I guess it's time to upgrade my entire system to… one louder.

    $1.50? If you ask me, having a knob that goes to eleven is just priceless.

    I watched the TEDx talk about patents earlier. How long until I can get one that goes to twelve?

    Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Great novelty, but low-quality

While having a knob that goes up to eleven is pretty awesome, it'd be nice if the manufacturer of this knob turned up their quality above 5. Bottom line: This is a novelty item.

Pros:

  • Goes to eleven

Cons:

  • Thin metal bends easily around edge of numbered section. Look closely at the product photos for a mild example of this around the 6.2 marking, and on the photo of the bottom.
  • Didn't line up with the rotation range of the potentiometers I had on-hand.
