I'm having a hard time sourcing volume pot for my Fender vol/tone pedals. The original is a 250k ohm linear pot with a long shaft. I tried the Dunlop 500k but it messed up the boo-wah effect. The low end was almost inaudible when I rotated the pedal all the way to the left. It lost its punch down there. Have any of you vol/tone pedal owners found a good replacement?

Are you changing the volume or tone pot? The volume should be audio taper, the tone is probably linear like the one Donny linked to.

It's the volume pot. You're right - I do need an audio taper for the volume.
