Frequently asked questions
Are these products meant to work together?
No. The Bell Knob is a replacement control knob for split-shaft potentiometers. The Hex Driver Tool is for tightening the hardware nuts that hold pots and jacks in place. You would use the tool to install or adjust the knob, but they serve different functions.
Will the Bell Knob fit my instrument?
The Bell Knob fits 6mm split-shaft potentiometers with an 18-spline configuration, which is the standard Gibson format. If your instrument uses Gibson-style controls, it will fit. If you use EMG-specific electronics, check that they use the same split-shaft standard before purchasing.
What skill level do I need to use the Hex Driver Tool?
The tool is designed for beginners through professionals. Basic pot nut and output jack adjustments require minimal experience—just identify the correct socket size and turn. More involved setup work benefits from intermediate or advanced skills, but the tool itself is straightforward to use.
Will the Hex Driver Tool work on non-EMG electronics?
The tool is designed specifically for EMG pot and jack hardware sizes. If other brands use the same 7/16" and 1/2" hex nut sizes, it may work, but it is built and tested for EMG electronics.
