Hi there,

just wondering if the Tone pot has to be 20k-W like regular tube screamers or this version has been changed to a regular 20K-B ??  Cause on the pdf it shows 20k-B and I'm wondering if it's an error or not ?

Thanks for the help,

FWIW: I just built a Tube Screamer based on the Tonepad layout, used a regular linear 25k pot for tone control -- sounded just fine.  Wasn't listening specifically for this, but it seemed to have very similar rate of tone change through the pot's movement as my "stock" Ibanez TS...

What is the taper is indicated by the "g" or "w" code, anyways?  A variation of log?

I believe that W is for reverse log, they are usually used in regular TS, in the SD-1 and the ZW pedals... so I was wondering why it is not used in that particular TS build ?  ???

Linear works fine for me. I haven't tried the 'G' taper that small bear sells.
