I wonder if a 1 meg pot with 400k and 10k fixed or similar in parallel would work? don't think a fixed 5k would work as it's in parallel with the pot track. There's one way to find out though, and that's try it. i have the odd tapped pot,not sure if I have a 500k/5k. Is the pot log or lin, what dimensions?

Andy.
