Building a Sharkfin, and can't find anyone that sells a 2M pcb mount linear pot.
Thanks!
I build, and once in a while I might sell, pedals as "Vertigo Effects".

Smallbear or Mouser and some resistor bits soldered to the pot lugs.... DONE!  ;)

Thanks, guys. I've done that before and I would totally do that if anyone had solder lug pots, but can't find those, either.
No one seems to carry 16mm 2M pots.

I need to update my post since I also do the same process with the non-angled PCB mount ones also. I bend the legs down on the pot and I  use a "third hand", one clip to hold the pot and the other to hold the solid copper wire. I line up the wire and the pot leg and then soldier it on.

hope this makes sense.

It does, but I still can't find 2M pots to work with.

Hell, I must have looked 10 times and didn't see it till now.
Someone slap me.

same happened to me. apparently smallbear has got many different potentiometer options that are actually not so different. Thanks for the link]
