I know about the most common two that are mentioned on this forum: Linear and Audio taper pots, but what are Graphic taper pots and how easy are these to obtain should replacing them become necessary?

I found out that my little Blackstar HT1R has a gain pot that is a "graphic" type and when any other type is substituted, the result is not good.

Yes g-taper

Like 50/50 at the mid position but lowered is a treb cut
And higer is a boost I think - perhaps the other way

As i recall its a "pair" of linear tapers centered at 50
So that be like the "off" position then depending on what
Bleed circuit is built around it the dial becomes a sort of
Ratio

Used in a ton of stomps so certain they out there

Digikey.com perhaps
