Jesus this knob was all jacked up!!!

Whoever owned this empeg before me glued the rotary knob onto the rotary encoder!! Then not only did they glue it on, they put some kind of metal ring around it

Very bizarre and weird!! I had to break the knob off with my teeth literally to get to the metal ring. Then I bent the metal ring enough to slide it off.

THEN broke the knob off the rest of the way piece by piece. Lucky I have spare buttons from firefox superset and nothing was broke.

Why on earth someone would do this to an empeg is beyond me.
