370/12RM 5th Knob question

Post by Webbhead68 »

Hi Guys,

I'm a newbie on here.. I was on the forum years ago but my profile had been purged, so I'm back.

Question- on the 370/12RM with the compressor.. I have two of these babies both with the compressor. One has the 5th knob the same size as the others. The other one has a smaller 5th knob. Was the factory doing these or was it just an owner preference who happened to change the knob? Thanks!

So would the larger 5th knob be the norm?

I assume that's silkscreened on, so could be removed.
