I've assembled the WH-10 PCB with all the correct parts but just realised it uses a 50k pot for the frequency (wah). My plan was to house it in a crybaby shell but obviously I can't use the 100k hot pot that came with it. Does anyone have any suggestions on decent replacement pots and the gear? Will 47k do just as well? Links to UK stores are welcome.

100k will work fine
the sweep will be even wider than with 50k

If you put a 100k resistor across the outer lugs of the 100k pot, you'll get a 50k pot.

Thanks guys, I'll try it with the 100k hot potz and if I'm not happy I'll wire that 100k resistor...

Happy Easter
