I have one of the earlier TA2024 boards that I have purchased from Arjen. I am trying to put together a small amp for my kids room. What would be the best volume pot value for this amp?

I have tried it with Alps 09 50kax2 pot and it looks like it is not a good match. Volume works ok for about half the scale and then the other half doesn't produce any significant volume increase.

Thanks.

Volume pot is not for increasing volume. Its for attenuation.

Use 25k pot instead of 50k. Then you can twist volume knob
twice as much to get the maximum volume!
 
You will need a logarithmic potentiometer. This is because or ears work in a similar fasion. you need to connect the potentiometer as follow:
