Well i bit the bullet(ok an astatic biscuit)and finally bought one.
Now in the past i have tried making my own but they always looked a bit 'industrial' fixed inline to my slim Biscuit.
Smallest one i managed to put together was made out of a chrome slide.Serious mojo there but still a bit to big(and it was a bastard to put together)
Anyways i ordered one of Gregs and it arrived 4 days later in Newzealand,pretty cool service,another Rockin' Ron.
Wow having tried making them i was just amazed by Gregs engineering work ,man must have very small fingers or maybe an midget a an assistant.
This thing looks seriously cool attached to my Biscuit.
Ok looks good...took it out that night and yep it does everything Greg says it will.A nice gradual decrease/increase in volume all through the sweep.
Bloody excellent piece of gear.
But...i bought the one with the black plastic knob because i have some very nice brushed chrome knobs at home left over from another project so my idea was to take off the plastic one and use one of these in its place.
But Greg (the cunning bugger) has fixed the knob not with a screw but some other 'thing'.
Greg if you are reading this how do i get the knob off with out doing any damage?If i can't no worries still gonna love my V/C.

I expect it's the same as he uses on his mic's of which I'm a proud owner. I swapped mine out using 1/16 hex head bit. I'm not sure which metric it would be, the smalles I have is a #2 so I expect a #1 hex might work.

Yep - you need a 1/16" standard allen wrench. All the knobs I use, including my custom made ones - use 6-32 allen screws which take this wrench. The allen screws in the Bulletizer are 8-32 and require a 5/64 allen wrench, however I supply one with every bulletizer.
