Nice review, Mike!

At one point, you remarked about the odd taper of the gain control,
noting that you'd seen the same on other project-studio gear, and you
speculated that they all got their pots from the same place.

I think you're right, and I think they're using linear pots where they
should be using reverse-log. The reason is obvious -- reverse-log pots
are rare as hen's teeth unless you have them custom-made, and smaller
manufacturers (in this context Focusrite is small; big means companies
like Sony and Yamaha) can't afford them.

Peace,
Paul
