He couldn't find them, I offered solutions.

If someone else can't find something on the internet, what are my chances of finding it?

Are those the little Pac-man shaped ones? They are quite stylish 8)
I assume you have the white knobs, not black.
Still, I find it hard to believe that they can't be cleaned.
Are they smooth and shiny or textured?
Try a tooth brush maybe and some abrasive stove cleaner.
I can't help you with new ones though, sorry.

Goodonya ...Mark.

Yeah they are pretty bad; a dingy brown covering half of each knob. I've tried using the mr clean sponge, direct bleach, soaking them for a day in solvent and nada. Thought about spray painting them but not sure how that would stand up. Kinda like my equipment to be clean. Got a great deal on the unit, didn't know how hard it would be to get D insert knobs.

I googled "D insert knob" and came up with this.

Not the same, but if it has the same mount, I don't see why you couldn't take measurements of the shaft and try it. Just buy one and see if it fits. If it doesn't, you're not out that much and you have an extra part. Maybe this site has similar knobs? I don't know, but it wouldn't hurt to browse.

I would recommend usage of the "Add foe" option. The kid simply isn't worth the breath.

If it was my amp, I'd replace all 29 knobs with matching ones.

Or I'd find a good solvent and give them a good soak overnight, Ronsonol shifts just about anything like grease and smoke staining.
