The Highway 89 circuit uses 4 pots: 10K gain, 100K bass, 100K treble, and 500K level. What about the taper for each, I couldn't find that specified in any of the info for the circuit.
Audio or linear?

For myself if I dont know I try to use log for volume/level controls
and lin for gain or EQ type controls.
I could be wrong but thats just the way I roll. ;)

as a general (but thoroughly loose and breakable) rule, volume is usually done with audio taper or reverse audio taper, and other controls are usually done with linear. either works no matter what though, so whatever you have is fine. taper really only affects the way the pot responds as you turn it. but other than that they are interchangeable.
