Frequently Asked Questions
What size potentiometer shaft does this knob fit?
This knob is designed for 6mm split-shaft potentiometers, which are the standard size used in EMG pickup systems and many other guitar electronics. It will not fit solid shafts or smaller/larger diameter shafts.
How does the knob attach to the pot?
The EMG Speed Knob uses a push-on friction-fit design with an 18-tooth coarse spline that engages the split shaft. Simply push it on by hand until it sits flush; no tools or fasteners required.
Will this knob slip or rotate during playing?
No. The coarse 18-tooth spline engagement and friction-fit design prevent rotation creep and accidental slippage, even during aggressive playing or frequent on-the-fly adjustments.
What does the 0–10 numbering do?
The clearly marked 0–10 scale provides instant visual reference of your current volume or tone position, reducing guesswork during live performance or studio work.
What are the physical dimensions?
The knob has a compact profile of approximately 1 inch diameter and 0.5 inches tall, making it a low-profile upgrade that integrates cleanly into most guitar control layouts.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies.
