Don’t Say No to Thomas: Graph Tech Guitar Labs Launches Barrel Knobs for Ratio Machine Heads

Delta, BC, Canada, December 2024 –

When Thomas Nordegg speaks, we listen. That’s how Graph Tech Guitar Labs proudly introduces its latest addition to the Ratio Machine Heads family: Barrel Knobs. At Thomas’s request, these barrel-style tuning buttons bring a fresh look and feel to the Ratio system, offering players a new way to personalize their instruments. Known for his work with rock legends like Frank Zappa and Steve Vai, Thomas, a long-time fan of Ratio Machine Heads, saw an opportunity to enhance the system’s ergonomic design, and we were happy to make it a reality.

Thomas, a long-time fan of Ratio Machine Heads, approached us with the idea of creating barrel-style tuning buttons to provide an alternative option for players seeking a fresh look and feel. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Ratio system, these knobs combine ergonomic comfort with understated style, giving players another way to personalize their instruments.
