A B500K or A500K will work.  The sweep just won't be the same.  In this particular case, I recommend the B500K rather than A500K if possible.  Anti-log pots have the majority of the sweep on the low end whereas the log pots have the majority of the sweep on the high end.  If you use a lin B500K, it just means that you'll find most of the gain up on the high end of the knob.  The first half of the sweep won't do much.  It's a sensitivity thing... minor adjustments on the high end will be more significant than the low end.  Drive at 0 or drive at 10 will sound no different regardless of which taper you use.  It's the transition from 0 to 10 that will differ.
