1Meg reverse log pot substitute?

[mikeford]

Hullo! I am chipping away at the Tonepad Maestro Filter/Sample and  Hold.
I see that the speed pot calls for a 1 Meg reverse log pot(16mm)
These seem scarce and all I see at Mammoth and Small Bear stock list reverse audio 1 meg post.
Can I get by with this substitute, or is there a horde of these somewhere,someone is willing to part with said pot, for a small sum of cash?
Thanks again!

That is a pretty common pot.

What problems are you having with it? Are you looking for a better price than what you have seen? Have you checked Tayda electronics?

Reverse log = reverse audio, just as "log" and "audio" are generally used interchangably, if that's the source of confusion.

You know, you can always wire up a regular old log pot "backwards" so that clockwise gets slower.

You're not going to find them at RadioShack, or probably even Frys Electronics. But Pedal Parts Plus has them: http://www.pedalpartsplus.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=PPP&Category_Code=Pot16R
