Anyone know where to get the same knobs that are on this ZVEX unit?

He doesn't have the small 1/2in ones (like in the zvex pic). The ones in the pic you supplied are bigger.

I am almost 100% sure I've seen (and purchased) just those knobs there.

Radio Shack....but if you look carefully at the zvex picture you will notice that these are real small knobs. ~1/2 inch diameter with no skirt around them. They need to be this small in order fit five knobs across on this size enclosure.

with very small splined shafts..could they be the same?

duuhhh look at the pix,,the PV's are chicken heads..those "look" like the rat shack ones but I have seen smaller versions of them also..maybe mouser electronics?
can you buy direct from Zvex??

A cool place to get knobs is a Hardware store. For old appliances they have a great selection of knobs that you might not otherwise see related to guitar effects.
I've seen Z-Vex style knobs and Lumber-Hardware places. When those places go out of business because of Lowes and Home Depot, the price cuts make the whole bin of knobs a fantastic deal.
