Performance Filter Pots

I’m just starting to build the filter, l have all of the parts except the 4K7 Linear pot also l can’t see it listed on Thonk? Can you recommend a replacement for the 4K7 pot, l will be ordering the 100K pot and some other stuff from Thonk today.
Many thanks.

4k7 pots aren’t really a thing these days, pot manufacturers tend to use 1:2:5 instead of E3. STUFF - LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER says:

i cant find a 4k7 potentiometer for the cutoff can i use a 5k

yes its fine! to be honest you could even get away with a 10k, a lot of the actual values arent super important to be right, a lot of the capacitors can be any capacitance in the ball park. ive found it to still work just the same :). So to clarify you need linear pots which are taper B.

(we’ve discussed this before, e.g. here)
