Hah! Square-root taper

No idea what it's called, but if a log pot can be
called that (even though the intended operation is
exponential, i.e. opposite of log, to compensate
for the log response of the ear) then this should
be square-root, because the actual curve is the
square function.

A SLA closely follows the formula:

Gain = 40log(position ratio) where closed =0 and open =1
