ESP - A Better Volume Control
I've used this successfully in the past and found it worked much better than a cheap log pot.

Short answer: no.Is there any way a linear potentiometer can be adapted to "fake log" and used as a shunt volume control please? Grateful for some advice!
Cheesy "Log faking" only "works" (sort of) in a variable voltage divider role (the classic way to use it) by heavily loading the wiper to ground section with a resistor 10% to 20% the pot resistance.
That action is useless in a shunt or NFB gain control.
EDIT: I make Guitar amps and small PA heads, use shunt gain controls for Distortion and Mic inputs respectively, and after much fruitless experimenting had to order Log/Audio pots, period.
Which work as expected
