I will look for something suitable but I’ll probably need to get the lug to fit if it’s a switched pot - it’s bound to work loose if it’s being switched on and off.

It just occurred to me that an option would be to simply remove one of the two input pots, shift them all along, and put a switch in the vacant “pot hole”. The two channel feature was useful for a typical stereo input though.
