But, these go to eleven!

I'm not sure what you tried to say.

If you want to change the volume, balance or a tone control on your stereo, you would normally change a potentiometer until you are happy with what you hear and not until the potentiometer is at 37% of the scale.

So if there are a +/- 5% error in the conversion from log to linear in contrast to the actual percentage of activation, that will normally not matter. The user adds/removes reverb, flange or whatever effect they want until they are happy. After all - if a real log potentiometer have a large production variation, then the user would have that same variation if switching between two units when using them with an analog effects system.
