When you get an effect pedal for your guitar the knobs have black overs on them ... here is a pic of an effect pedal and the black rubber covers:

What are those knob covers for? Is it just packaging? But if so what are they protecting? You can still break the knob off.



Answer
So that you can turn the knob with your feet. when you are playing a gig and can't change the settings with your hands, you can change them with your feet if you have the rubbers on the knobs
