Rev audio pots in the uk

[rosscocean]

I'm about to make a sho clone and I can't find any 5k reverse audio pots from my usual ordering spots. I'd prefer the 16mm alpha if possible. Any uk sources I should be aware of?

Many thanks

Not that I know of... just use a 5k Linear or 10k Linear with 10k Resistor Across Lugs 1 & 3 to approximate a 5k Reverse Log.

The best UK source for rev log pots is Banzai in Berlin.    http://www.banzaimusic.com/Alpha-16mm-FS-5k-REV-log.html

Mouser have them : http://fr.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Alpha-Taiwan/RV16AF-20-15K-C5K/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtxdMMi52izylTGUjbYbj7qTtdZP7uG%252byU%3d

They have almost all the Alpha pots, the things is their website only shows linear or audio as a search criteria... Rev audio are therefore classified as audio. One possible trick is to look up the Alpha part number on the Alpha website, then entering this part number in the Mouser search tool....

Hope this helps...

I noticed that Futurlec has Reverse audio pots now. They're not in the UK, but might work for you if you can wait.
