What replacement pot do I use for my TS-9?

[Stephens]

Hi- I'm new to the forum and just starting to get an interst in tinkering with some of my pedals.  I was wondering if anyone would know what type of pot I need to use to replace the drive pot on my TS-9.  I looked at smallbearelectronics.com and there are 7 or 8 different ones.  I know I need a 500K, but other than that I'm not sure what size, or if it shoud be linear, audio, single or dual.  Thanks!

Hey! welcome to the forum.

There are tons of sites that have parts lists, like RunoffGroove.com (ROG), generalguitargadgets.com (GGG), and tonepad.com just to name a few. According to the layout at TonePad, the pot is a 500kA (audio taper).

Here are the letter designations...
A=Audio
B=Linear

Have fun!

Does the TS9 have set-screw knobs or press-on knobs like the Boss pedals?  If it uses the press-on knobs, you'll probably have to order a split/knurled shaft 16mm mini pot from a guitar parts store, like Stewart McDonald.  

If they're the set-screw knobs you can just order a 16mm audio taper 500KA pot from Mouser (313-1500-500K) or Small Bear Electronics.  They're $1.31 from Mouser.
