I was going to suggest that, but couldn't find the link. Well done. :)
Hmm ... that's quite tempting. It appeals to the "Mr Fixit" side of my nature. My only reservation is that in the write up it says that this workaround is good provided the gain structure of the pre-amp is suitable. I'm interpreting this as meaning that if you have too much gain, you will be running with your volume knob down at the bottom end of its travel where the behaviour of the pot is still more or less linear. By the time you get up to the recommended 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock position when it starts to simulate log behaviour, it's already too loud. I can see that being the outcome. Of course, I could then solder in a few resistors to attenuate the incoming signals before they reach the pot. But by this stage I might as well buy an Alps Blue and have done with it ... ! But thanks for the suggestion anyway, Jez.

For the sake of two resistors I'd say try it. Have you got suitable resistors?
I can pop a couple of 6K8 resistors in the post if you haven't.
