Fatpant- Pot value and transistor

[sirbergersworth]

I have a 500k reverse audio taper pot around here and was thinking of using it for this build.
I am just trying to save a few bucks.
Would the reverse audio taper pot cause any negative effect on the knob range, etc?

Also, I am having a hard time finding J201 transistors here in STL. We have a great parts store but they only have the NTE version of a J201. Will these work fine?

Thanks a bunch in advance.

I just need to get the voltage doubler and JFET's put in the sockets (as soon as I find some) and to box her up.

anyone?.....Bueller?

500kC would work just fine in this build. It might even be a better choice, although I have not tried it myself.

I do not have experience with the NTE versions of JFETs but I have used NTE replacements for other parts several times. Try Googling the NTE part to get the datasheet to see if the pinout is different. Q1 is a safe bet since it is only a buffer. You can socket Q2 and see how it does. If it does not work out you can easily replace it: onsider posting a request in the "Parts Bin" part of the forum for some J201s in that case.
