Micro Vibe - anyone replace w/bigger knobs to control by foot?

Has anyone tried replacing the knobs on the Micro Vibe with bigger ones that you can control by foot?

I haven't tried it - but it should be very easy to do. Small Bear or mouser has several knobs that'll work.

Cool. You remember where you got the knob from?

Mine micro vibe is on its way to me. So I don't really know yet whether the stock ones are easy to control with your feet or not.

Like eric-d said, small bear has options like the MXR style knob with the rubber cover. That's what it's for.

I put those thnigs on just about any pedal that'll take 'em. I'm a big time tweaker so they help out quite a bit. There are a few places to get them, but I go Small Bear too. Good operation and great service.

You can also try the optionknob (www.optionknob.com), it's a propellor shaped replacement knob for stompboxes that allows one to adjust with the foot.
