Peavey 1 MEG 5% Taper Log/Audio Potentiometer, 16mm, Original Peavey Replacement Part, PEAVEY #71190522 & #31190522
The characteristic curve (taper): 1 MΩ logarithmic ("audio"), 5% taper (precision log curve). This ensures smoother control in the lower range, which is often desirable for gain or resonance (typical applications for the 5% potentiometer).
Mounting: PC mount with bracket
Models #71190522 & #31190522 have a knurled metal shaft with a diameter of approximately 4.4 mm.
These potentiometers are very versatile and were used in a number of well-known Peavey amplifiers and devices, primarily in the high-gain models of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Here is a list of models where this type of 1MΩ logarithmic potentiometer (or variations thereof) is typically found:
Compatible Peavey Models
Peavey 5150 (original "Block Letter" series and possibly newer versions)
Peavey 6505 and 6505+ (often for the Rhythm Pre Gain, Lead Pre Gain, Low, and Resonance controls)

Peavey JSX (Joe Satriani Signature models)
Peavey Ultra series (such as Ultra 112, 212, 410 combos and Ultra Plus head, e.g., as a Resonance control)
Peavey Duel (combo amplifier)
The potentiometers are used for various functions in these amps, including pre-gain, post-gain, low-EQ, and Resonance control.
