The alternative for Empeg is that many units get returned at the expense of the company. Can you imaging how long you would keep a $1300 Alpine or Kenwood stereo if the knob didn't work after 3 weeks? In fact Empeg is lucky that most of their customers understand that they ARE early-adopters and things like this happen. Otherwise they would have many units either returned or sitting in warranty service.

My display is fine - brighter in fact than my Alpine. But the knob is definitely disappointing. My new fix is holding so far: a 3mm x 4mm piece of scotch tape applied to the shaft. This seems to be enough to get a grip without needing excessive pressure to put the knob on the shaft.
