Two possible solutions from my Stock List: SKU 1007 150K reverse audio has been used and works...direction of control is reversed, but customers tell me this is not a major issue for the peak function.  SKU 1011B is dual 100K audio 16mm...wire the two sections in series.

Well, those are cheaper options for sure. Thanks, Steve.

You can make your own 150K log pot for this build by taking a 1M linear pot and adding a 180K resistor across pins 2 and 3 for this build. The resistor in parallel makes the curve turn from linear logarithmic. This is described in the RG Keen article "The Secret Life of Pots" on GeoFex, as well as Tonmann's thorough explanation on GuitarPCB: http://www.guitarpcb.com/apps/forums/topics/show/2513577-pot-tapers-what-they-do-and-when-to-use-what-
