replacement slider pot for boss ge-10

[fogwolf]

I need a replacement slider pot for a Boss GE-10. From the service manual looks like it's a 10K with 'W' taper. Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This is why many of us (including myself) decline to work with slider pots.  Scoring the right value and taper is easy.  Scoring one with the right dimensions, not so much.

I believe W is a log taper going in each direction from the midpoint.

Boss/Roland carries most of the parts for their pedals, however I have heard that they charge high shipping fees even for small items.  It may be your only source, however, if the sliders are made to their specs.  There is a phone number on their website for parts ordering.

Thanks for the replies. I got the same answer from Steve at Small Bear. On hold with Roland US support now. Wish me luck!

Great news - Roland as the part!!

However, they don't have the cap/knob - any help with where I could locate one would be greatly appreciated. Here's a shot of a GE-10:

Cheers, thanks for the link. Hoping to find an exact match, if anyone happens to know of one. If not then I'll search for something close.

Holy cow I think I actually found one - http://www.syntaur.com/3225.html - just searching for "slider knob" on Google Images no less!
