Source for Reverse Log Pots Howdy, wunderin' if any one can steer me towards some REVERSE log potentiometers, 1 meg and the elusive 150K. Source for a plain old 150K audio taper also needed. Throwin' together a Mutron III clone, any tips appreciated. Thanks..... |

Omeg make reverse log pots, but only up to 470K. I used a normal 1M log pot in my clone. |

If you can live with the weirdness, just wire up a standard Log pot but swap the outside wires. The sweep will be reverse but the taper will be correct. You can position the knob so it sweeps from 11:00 ccw to 1:00. Don't know where to find a 150K log pot but a 250K Log and a couple resistors could probably simulate one. RE | |

Try reading "The Secret Life of Pots" at GEO. |

Cool. I must be a little slow. What value resistors should I solder to which lugs? Will it still have to be rotated counter-clockwise? Thanks.......... |
