Do you need that extra push over the cliff? The Large sized GTE (Goes To Eleven) Knob can fit onto potentiometers with a 6mm wide shaft thanks to a brass insert with a set screw.
We know that most of you are playing at ten, but with the GTE Knob you can go... one louder.
Note: It goes to eleven.

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.

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?
This is Spinal Tap!
But... it goes to eleven!
Say you're already at ten... and you need just a little more! With a normal knob, you'd be out of luck! But with these babies... you can go up to eleven!
...but this one goes to eleven.
