Should I use a linear, or logarithmic volume pot?
Like so much in the guitar world, what suits one player won't neccesarily suit another. That's especially true with how the controls function on your guitar, and you'll find that a certain taper will better achieve what you're looking for. But how do you know which taper that would be?
With volume pots, you can ultimately use linear or logarithmic (audio), there's no firm rule so in this article I want to look at why you would choose either spec and what to expect from their results.
