Trying To Source Reverse Log Pots

InactiveX · February 13

I'm looking for someone who sells sturdy reverse (inverse) taper log pots (I'm after mainly 1M-2M range).

Anyone got any tips? Ta!

Is this for a bass cut control?

G & L guitars site has short shaft 1megC - 1 meg reverse audio taper.

They are not cheap.

I bought some (250k though) by accident on CPC a good while back (I think they were Bourns)- maybe take a look there? (They weren't described as reverse log!)

Thanks everyone. Ddigger - it's for a Small Stone clone I've just built.

I can use a substitute, but I've built this clone so I can experiment with modding the LFO, hence I'm looking for some of the less common reverse log types.

If it's of interest, I have a genuine EH spec reverse log 1M pot, dated 1983, which came out of a dead EH pedal (can't remember what model). It's obviously used, but appears to be in good condition and meters correctly - actually just under 1M, but within spec.

PM me if you want it.

I will PM you later today. Thanks.

Took me a while to find it, but there's a great Geofex article (not that are any there that aren't great) about getting log and reverse log tapers by putting a resistor between the wiper and one end of a pot.

That's something I had in mind for when I start experimenting. Thanks!

Howdy, Stranger!
