help removing knobs from deluxe memory man

Post by joninc » Tue Apr 06, 2021 11:56 am

I just bought a big box (early 2000's) Deluxe Memory man and it has a few loose knobs - i can't for the life of me get them off to tighten the screws - they are the round plastic ones....

Anybody done this?

LOL. I have the memory man with Hazarai, and just tried to remove the knobs.

NO WAY.

I would not remove them. They seem impossibly stuck.

Maybe contact EHX directly, see if they know what evil they did to this.
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

I snapped not one, but TWO pots trying to take the knobs off of one of mine a few years ago. Can't remember too many times where I felt that fucking stupid in my life. Got sorted out, but jesus.

Proceed with extreme caution. Also, fuck EHX for making what should be the simplest thing in the world impossible.

One from each side.
Equal pressure.
