Tesoro potentiometer question - audio taper or linear ?

[pinenut]

Hey folks, I've purchased some 50k 10 turn Bourns linear pots for modifying, repair and replacement of the GB pots on certain Tesoros. Recently used one in my Bandido II μMAX and it works super!

Now I want to buy some 100k 1 turn pots as replacements for worn out threshold pots. Does anyone know if those should be audio taper, or should they be linear? Would it even matter, assuming an audio taper pot is put in the right (best) way around?

Thanks!

Call the factory and ask.

Call the factory and ask.

Yeah, that's the easy way, assuming they'd tell me.
I'll open it up and get the #s and/or Ohm measurement off the factory pot. Just being lazy, hoping to see what others may have used. Should be a 10 minute job with the part in hand.
