    Default Okay, stupid question, but...

    Is the V1 control knob made of metal, rubber, or plastic? In all of the pictures I've seen, it appears to be plastic! I highly doubt they'd design it cheap if the whole RD case is made of magnesium, but it does happen.

    Ignore the sig, as I *WILL* be a V1 user after Christmas. :P

    It is indeed plastic, but its not like its cheaply made...... It is strong and durable.... plus if ya hardwire it, you wont have to touch it other than muting it

    What is wrong with plastic? It works as designed & never seen one broken.

    I have heard some people having problems with the knobs, but it was from long usage of the V1... Just dont force anything with it and be gentle and that should be enough for it

    Can he really do that? If not, maybe I'll modify my own.

    I was thinking something along the lines of one of these:


    a.k.a. "high quality"

    Maybe VR chose plastic because it would be a cheaper alternative... but it is not a cheap detector!!

    or you could make a neon knob, gold plated knob, chrome knob, platinum knob or a spinner on the knob for all the bling for your V1.

    Hahaha!

    After some deep thought, I chose to keep the factory default knob. I'm not going to alter anything.
