Dual Concentric Potentiometer & Knob Sourcing?

I'm wanting to implement a tone circuit similar to a James (passive Baxandall) tone circuit into a fuzz pedal that I've been working on, but I hate the idea of having to add two tone independent tone knobs on my enclosure! I'd much rather keep it simple and use a dual concentric pot.

Let me clarify for a second for a second, when I say dual concentric, I don't mean a 'stereo' potentiometer. I'm wanting a potentiometer with two independent shafts.

That being said, I'm not quite sure where the best place to source such a part would be. I'm looking for 1M audio on both shafts and one that's vertical PCB mountable. Additionally, I'm looking for knobs to go with it as well. I've seen telecaster-like knobs before for a dual concentric pot on a couple of Fender's active basses. I'd love to get knobs similar to that if possible.


Those are my criteria, I shall forever be indebted to anybody that helps me with this!

Hello, Small Bear have them to 100ka pcb mounting. Guitar Electronics have them to 500ka but with solder lugs. It might be easier to adapt the circuit to the pot values then to find the perfect pot.
