>From looking at the schemo in the link you posted, you are not asking for the pot´s
ohmic value (what is printed in the schematic), but if you shall use linear or
logarithmic taper, right ?

In most applications, linear taper would be OK, where log characteristic is needed,
it is often specified.
But, as always, you can seldom be sure withwout fully understanding what that pot
does.
