5K Rev Pot? (Can't find em)

[Evad Nomenclature]

I did a build today for a boost pedal that calls for a 5k rev pot.
Can't seem to find them anywhere.
Anyone know anywhere I could get one, or any other solution or substitution?
thanks!

Small Bear have them in Alpha 16mm and 9mm sizes.

You could also wire in the regular 5ka backwards, swapping the outside terminals.

If this is for a SHO a 5K audio pot works nicely.

5k linear pot is a better match to 5k rev than a 5k audio

If you wire a 5k audio backwards, you will get rev audio, but you will also have to turn the knob IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION

heres a 16mm alpha 5k reverse taper   http://www.pedalpartsplus.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PPP&Product_Code=7516&Category_Code=Pot16R
