This topic has already been discusses, see https://forum.arylic.com/t/relocating-volume-tone-and-bass-knobs-anyone-done-it/338.
People like me have damaged the board when desoldering the knobs (but mine still works), others were successful and made it without damages. It should be possible if you use a desoldering pump (I didn’t, unfortunately).
Best regards,
