Title: MiniBrute replacement knobs and sliders
Post by: TheBlackLodge on July 25, 2022, 02:38:59 pm
Hi,
I too have the dreaded sticky plastic issue after having my Minibrute in storage for a year.
I have managed to get the side panels cleaned off but the knobs and sliders I am realling struggling with, to the point I am now considering replacing them.
I found a great article here:
https://sounding.com/2020/09/09/knobbybrute/
As I am in the UK and the customs charges would be horrific does anyone know of a UK source for suitbale knobs and sliders?
I have see that Thonk do the brass adaptor sleeves but I am at a loss finding enough detail on UK sites to know if the knobs would be suitable replacements, as stated in the article the is a need for an internal skirt to take some of the pot shafts.

Any help much appreciated.

HI ,
I emailed Arturia as my white Microbrute SE has the "knob rot"; they will sell me replacement knobs. For all 20 knobs it will cost me £75!! and £5 each for the pitch and mod wheels
They will be the same knobs so the issue of sticky knobs will reappear in time on the new knobs.
So not ideal.

I was wondering if the keystep37 knobs fit the micro brute as they are the fully plastic non rubberised type?
Personally I don't care what colour or shape the knobs are as long as i can replace these old ones.
