That's what I was expecting, but looking at the dial (as much as one
can see in the photos), they appear to be linear, so I figured it was
taking advantage of log pots (or is there a log/anti-log problem
there anyways?). Considering it more, a typical log pot may not give
an accurate enough log function to be very good for the task, so
you're probably right. Maybe there's another principle involved.
Another web site refers to a popular electronics article with a
similar design (I think I've seen the article in the past) but
doesn't say which issue.
