[QUOTE="SlugButter, post: 8792298, member: 678073"] A linear pot will vary at a constant rate throughout the sweep. A logarithmic pot will taper at one end. You’ll want a logarithmic pot. When the rate of increase is constant, the low end won’t turn up the volume much, but as you go up it becomes an exponential increase, making very inconsistent volume jumps with each click higher. A logarithmic pot will taper off at one end and won’t exponentially increase volume as you work up, giving a much better control of volume. Logarithmic pots are better than linear for a bass knob.
