Can we turn a Log pot into Reverse Log pot?

[Izzy]

I was wondering if we can make a log pot into reverse log pot.

This pot is for Drive Pot, so I think this is possible.


Something like this:

If you wire it with the outer lugs reversed it will be reverse log.
But the gain will be on 10 full counter clockwise and off full clockwise.So the pot will work back wards, just have to get used to it...

For a gain control there is no real benefit since you just turn up the gain to where it sounds good.

A tremolo or any speed control benefits more because the speeds will work smoother and not bunch up all in one place in the rotation.

Thanks man!

I actually found out that the Drive in my project was increasing Logrithmically so I though If I can find a reverse Log pot, that will help to make the increasement smoother.

I have already ordered everything from smallbear. So I didnt want to spened another $7 just to buy one pot.
