TS Tonepot

I have a 100k audio taper pot, any suggestions for trying to implement this into a TS tone section controller?
 Any experiences with this will be welcomed, I of course don't expect to get 'perfect' sweep over the rotation, but basic TS sound with some TC.

The tone pot turned out to be the least of my problems. I hooked a 100k across a 500k pot...Seems to work just fine.
 Had a little Bias trouble. figured that out. Then I had to figure out the broken 470k, part of a series I put together to bias the output buffer...that and looking at the pot wiring again and finding the volume pot instead of going to ground, goes to 4.FIVE volts...It helps when one can read schematics.
 I'ts actually a Tube Reamer with 2nd half of a TS. I thought why ground the inputs on the second half of the dual socket...Condisered a Micro Amp in front...looked for other options....not necessary, Nope.
 This TS works right, I think I was not so good at the previous builds...seems I finally have a TS that is very strong TS sounding cct.
 I'm glad I left room on the left half of the Reamer Board. Makes really nice sound. I'd not really gotten the medium gain thing down,  This one has enough room for lots of mods, tho it's sounding wonderful as it is.
 Some of the resistors for bias I used a socket, then used a pot with a socket via wires to plug into that to try different values, grab something close to what I like and use the pot to adjust the next value. Basically I have the board so it's quite moddable...I don't know how necessary...but it's Werkin' !!!
