Question: what is the difference between a linear taper potentiometer and an audio taper potentiometer?
Answer: An AUDIO taper pot increases the signal from your guitar to your amp in a logarithmic (exponential) fashion. ... A LINEAR taper pot increases the signal in a linear fashion. (“1” on your control is equal to 10%, “4” is equal to 40% and so forth) This works very different from an audio taper volume pot.
