Make a Log Pot out of a linear pot

[kerloom]

I have had trouble finding logarithmic potentiometers to use with my audio projects. So I found out a great tutorial on how to turn a regular linear pot into a pot behaving somehow like a log pot (not exactly though) by placing a fixed resistor between 2 of the pins (normally a 10% value of the pot). Check it out for yourselves:

Or the one more familiar to readers here - "The Secret Life of Pots" (http://geofex.com/Article_Folders/potsecrets/potscret.htm), from GEOFEX (http://geofex.com) back in the dark ages, 1999.
