I remember knobs from an electric guitar that weren't linear. For such a potentiometer, you might need a different formula, but for linear ones, it seems correct.
It depends. As far as i remember Gibson volume potis are linear and their tone potis are logarithmic. For Fender and Ibanez i‘m not sure. But i think they are all logarithmic. And i also think that there is no audio device with a linear volume poti. It makes no sense. Regards, Karl
