The linear pot gives a "more even (uniform?) response" of resistance change per degree of rotation than a log pot--that IS the problem. You do not WANT a "more even (uniform?) response", you want a response that matches (more closely) the human ear response. -- quis custodiet ipsos custodes? -- Juvenal
