From my perspective it’s mainly an issue with some real world Fender amps like the HRD, where they deliberately put in the wrong kind of pot to make it have a huge volume increase between 1 and 2. This seems to be for marketing reasons rather than sound, and I remember it being difficult to physically turn the knob slowly enough to find a good volume. It was a pain in the derrière.
It sounds like most amps don’t work that way, and Cliff indicated that for amps that have a “ridiculous” taper like this, he will replace it with a sensible one. So as long as the MV is not semi-unusable like in the HRD and older Blues Jr, I don’t mind either way.
I’ll just be a bit more nervous touching the MV while I’m wearing in-ears!!!
