TS808 tone potentiometer

What is the taper of that pot? Doesn't sem to be linear or logarithmic.

Where to get the exact replacements?
Thank you all/

It;s a wierd one. I just built mine from pot/fixed R's.
 I can't quite remem if the resistors went on the outsides of the outside lugs or if a resistor went across the outside lugs, but the knob barely has much effect,  however I got it in the 'sweet spot' where i like it.
 I thought about a couple pairs of fixed resistors [each pair adding to 20k using say 12k+8k or 15k+4k each pair on one side of a switch ...eliminating the pot altogether...or just adding resistance to one side of the pair usin a simpler switch for tone control.

great, i'll definitely try that.
but what for the exactly that potentiometer?
Where to buy that one??

The 20kG pot is usually replaced by a 25kA.  The "G" taper is geometric or some other obscure thing.  "A" or log taper works fine.

Also, B isn't going to cause a problem, either     The tone change just happens a bit "fast then slow" - "10 o'clock" on a B pot is equal to about "1 o'clock" on an A pot, but "7 o'clock" and "5 o'clock" (min and max) are the same on both types.

Have fun!

Thanx, I tried linears there. the tone change ise very very abrupt.
I need to get the 20kG taper(thanx for letting me know, Brett).
I anyone knows, who might be selling these, please write here.

Thank you.
