Nice catalog, Jimi. Thank you for posting !

There is a cermet potentiometer manufactured by Bourns that can be adapted to put into a wah pedal.
Their part number is 91A1A-B28-A20L and has a linear taper of 100K Ohms and 1/4" round shaft.

Requires a little amount of work to create a tiny flat surface in the round shaft to match with the "D" shaped bore of the plastic gear.

Cheers,
Jose

The chapter 9 explaining how to kill a potentiometer at the end of the handbook deserves to be read !!!
