      Oh god... this comment is two months old, I hope you didn't pull on them too hard like I did lol
      They have a small hole in the side, inside the hole you'll find a tiny screw that tightens the knob to the pot's "rod". Just look at them carefully and you'll see what I mean.

      ​@@dennisgates-o4yhonestly I have no idea. It might be possible to connect the output jack wires to the input jack wires of the pedal's and mount the electronics and controls in the synth. It would need a secondary power jack to avoid having to figure out how to use the synth's power. If I ever find a deal on a beat up micro I'll probably try it.
