[QUOTE="SlugButter, post: 8777390, member: 678073"] A linear pot will have inconsistent jumps in volume to the human ear when used for volume control, especially at the top end of the pot Logarithmic pots are better for volume control. They taper resistance so you don't get huge jumps in volume with one click of the knob towards the top end of the pot volume. The perception of the human ear will perceive it as a much smoother and consistent transition between clicks using a log pot instead of a lin pot. [/QUOTE]
