smallbear or mammoth.  pc mount pots should probably be available in all those values except the 2k.  for that one you can just use a 5kb pot with a 3.3k ohm resistor soldered between lugs 1 & 3 and that should get you in the neighborhood.

B at the end of the pot value means linear
A means audio or log

Thanks a million for that! I didn't even think about using a resistor. Will that have any affect on the sound?

You know, I just went & looked.  Actually smallbear does have 2kb pots so there you go.
