Fender uses a reverse log 3M in their reverb circuits so those are easily available.

Edit:   sorry, I thought you meant 5MEG reverse.....my bad.

stereovoid

If you have a 10k linear taper pot handy, you can approximate a 5k reverse log. You'll need a 7k5 resistor and a 3k3 resistor.

Not really a rev log i think but if you can do the math there's better way to do it!  ;) Check this thread.

I know, but the pedal i built does not boost...it just increases volume!

You select the taper. I chose 40%, which is pretty close to reverse log. 35% would also be good.  :)

yeah dan! crackle ok! haha!
