Welcome to the DigiKey TechForum phrygian.  
We carry a lot of potentiometers, but we do not carry the part number 01-48-4103.  
We would need a full description on the part, and pictures would help. Then we can search for a possible alternate that may work for you.

Hi, David. thank you for the very prompt reply. It’s not actually a pot, its a “digital voltage controller”. 🙄

🤣

It works on gradient voltages levels, not on an analog audio signal. If you think you can source something, I’ll take it out of the amp to take a look, but I’m waiting on getting one before i venture in that direction. The controller is electrically noisy/scratchy, and getting to be a constant annoyance. In the old days, you could just spray the pot to clean up the carbon, but you can’t do that with this puppy.

Hi @phrygian ,

I think the Line 6 Duoverb references 01-48-4103 part to be ‘pot, stereo, 10kb, linear taper, 25mm’. If they are referencing the same part number used in that amp, you may want to sort through [these options](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/rotary-potentiometers-rheostats/84?s=N4IgjCBcodIMZQGYEMA2BnApgGhAeygG0QB2AZgBYAGckAXTwAcAXKEAZRYCcBLAOwDmIAL54ArJUpRQiSKky4CxEOVIA2KSDzkAHACZSATm0gax9Q2ZtInHgOFiQuo5bhyF2PIUgk9tLUYQVnYuPiFRPDBqAxkEZHQvZV9wcSpLKPFdcjoo9VpqUwggkNswh0jwaiN9OI9EpR8-dXEwMGkSmztwxyjdShN3BMVvFVqoq2CugEl%2BFixBLG5KgFpaocgeAFdGlXEGJxXB2Sht3ZTikSugA) to see if one of them would work. Otherwise, it may be some kind of [Encoder](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/encoders/507?s=N4IgjCBcoLQExVAYygFwE4FcCmAaEA9lANogCsIAugL61A). Generally speaking encoders work or don’t work moreso than to be ‘noisy’. Unfortunately, we don’t have access to a Line 6 database to let us know the exact part or specifications that would work.

Regards,

Hi, Ryan. thnx as well for the very prompt reply. had someone respond from a discontinued Line 6 repair center in the UK earlier this morning, and he said that this is a digital volume controller, and not replaceable with a standard pot, but looking at the Line 6 troubleshooting F/Q page, just now, it mentions that you can replace the pot with a regular audio pot, with a small amount of output degradation, but it also goes on to mention that the amp users prefer this over the digital pot, as it provides a smoother and more controlled volume change, so there’s hope.

right now I’m going to do a factory reset and clean the contacts on the CAT5 FVB Shortboard (what they recommend), and if that doesn’t work, then someone else recommended that re-soldering the connections and re-flowing the boards (I have an air flow gun,and I’ve re-flown a variety boards before, and this works on a lot of shit), so we shall see. (:

Thanks again for everyone’s help. I will update the post as i progress along.
