S4 with DJTT Knobs and Faders

**VanGogo** · 01-31-2011, 08:19 PM

The VCI knob pack arrived today. The faders needed a little help fitting, but weren't too much trouble.

I put them where I did to go with a 12inch skin i'm going to put on.

Just out of curiousity, how much was "not too much trouble" on the faders? as well as the whole process, Im down for some sick green onces as well, just afraid i'll break the thing as I've never done it.

To get the knobs off I had to use a small flat screw driver with a post card underneath (to keep from scratching the S4) to gently lift the knob. Not hard at all.
To make the faders fit I heated a small flat screw driver that was the same size as the fader's metal tang, and pushed it into the new knob to make it fit better. This worked perfectly on the line faders, but the cross fader must have a longer metal piece, because it wouldn't sit quite as far down as the others.

Looks very nice!

I was thinking about doing the same, but I really like the nice rubbery feel of the S4 knobs.

Glad you posted this, S4 comes tomorrow and I've got a pack of knobs here waiting for it.
I'm going to mark my gains and filters so I can see them easier.

Did you have to switch the inserts for anything?

Nicely done, personally though i'd definitely stick with my stock S4 stuff, it looks perfect the way it is!

With the knobs, I find the slightly larger size easier to grab.

The main reason for these and the skin in the future, is visibility/contrast. All the black on black makes it hard for my old eyes to find things quickly.

The gain knobs are different, I think you could drill the knob deeper to have them fit. But the way they are now, the knob doesn't go all the way down, it sits too high up.

They fit perfectly on the filters, eq's, and Fx knobs.

Most of the knobs' inserts were in correctly, only had to switch 3 over.

Thank you, and I can never leave stuff alone, lol. I like to customize
