I really like the construction of this volume pedal. Never really liked the taper however. Feels very clumsy compared to EB jr.
I've been trying to get used to it. But decided it's not working.
Not wanting to go switching pedals to no end I looked for replacement pot. Which turned out to be useless. Despite being cheap Alpha, there is no available replacements anywhere.
So I looked to replace wafer. Except that due to the construction of the lever, that alpha has half shorter slider any normal pot so that didn't work either.
So I replaced the exp wafer of the dual gang pot with 500k alpha with fullsize slider. And crosswired it's input and output lugs with orginal wafer.

Result was stunnigly good. As the second wafer in parallel now smoothens out the taper, it feels just as good as that EB jr. did. Without any of it's drawbacks...
