    I only found a linear pot in their offerings. That wouldn't be a deal breaker for me for that particular control though.

      The pots Dan had were linear. He use to claim that his guitar volume control bright circuit (just a parallel cap and resistor) "smoothed out" the taper of any pot with "feedback" and made them all equal

        Pretty sure the Fender 3M pots are REVERSE audio taper. Used for BF vibrato circuits.

          Here's a 24mm 2M log pot made by Alpha Taiwan. You can order these right from them 1000 pieces at a time, but apparently that doesn't happen much and these guys are charging a premium ($10.00 + shipping!) It has Alpha Taiwan's shitty 6mm x 7.2mm thread bushing, but that's the brakes. No one sees that part anyway. Straight from China. Probably shipped on the slow boat.

            Yup, reverse.
            Sounds fine in the trem circuit.

                I found the same pot you did on a *oogle search. But when I clicked it it took me to a more general inventory page where it wasn't included. A search for 2M pots on the site revealed there was only the one linear pot.

                I think it's sort of the same thing as deceased accounts on *acebook. They say that in ten years there will be more dead people accounts than live ones

                  Cool!
                  People can live on forever with their FB accounts, long after they're dead!
                  Maybe pay friends or family to update long after being deceased!
                  We can live forever, or at least our experience's long after we're gone.
                  Someday a thousand years from now scientist's will gaze in wonder how we repaired ancient technology.

                  Or not m

                    Immortality may not be what we'd hoped for. But I suppose this is the the next best thing?
