Frequently asked questions
Which knob is easier to grip during play?
The EMG Dome Metal Knob features a textured surface designed specifically for slip resistance and confident handling, making it the better choice if grip security is a priority during active playing.
Are both knobs compatible with split-shaft potentiometers?
The standard Dome Metal Knob explicitly supports fine-knurled and coarse-knurled split-shaft designs. The Flat Dome specifications only reference 6mm potentiometer shafts with set screw attachment, suggesting compatibility may be more limited.
Which finish shows wear less noticeably?
The satin matte finish on the Flat Dome typically hides fingerprints and wear better than polished gold. The standard Dome's gold finish with textured surface provides a brighter appearance but may show handling marks more visibly over time.
Do both knobs fit my instrument?
Both fit 6mm potentiometer shafts via set screw, making them suitable for most modern guitars and basses. If your instrument uses split-shaft potentiometers, the standard Dome offers explicitly confirmed compatibility, while the Flat Dome may require verification with your specific electronics.
