anyone have a suggestions for a replacement for the "10K linear pot 16mm RV16AF-41-15R1-B10K-3". preferably from Newark or mouser. I'm trying to keep my order to the two distributors. I've spent about an hour looking through different pots, and i figured it might be easier to just ask.

Cheers

The pedal was designed so any linear 10K potentiometer will make the pedal to function. (or you can even try 100K and it should work the same)
The problem is that the holes are made for the RV16 series, so it is not easy to find an alternative.

If you are good soldering and working with your hands, you can try to use any 10K linear pot that you know and wire it to the holes on the PCB.
If I find any Mouser alternatives I will let you know anyway.

i ended up being able to get the part from Tayda, as well as the other things that i could only find at mouser, so i still ended up with only 2 suppliers!

FWIW, the part number to search for at Tayda is RV16AF-41-15R-B10K
