For doing this I use this website.
Still I find it very hard to get a smooth response with a 12 step rotary switch. For example what is a sensible value to use as "Total attenuation" in this calculator? I use something like 40dB but I was wondering, does a stepped attenuator differ in any way from a stepped log pot? That is: do they use different slopes?
Another question: with a stepped log pot, the direction from step 1 to 2 should be clockwise right? Where as with a stepped attenuator the direction is reversed, that is: when going ccw you lower the volume right?
