Reversing the sweep on a potentiometer... do I need to reverse the taper too?

[cajone5]

So I am wiring up a tremshifter and the filter and trem rate pots in the existing schematic are wired such that the highest rates are full counter clockwise.  I would like that to be fully clockwise for my simple brain to more easily grasp the function of the controls.  The recommended wiring for these controls treats the pot like a variable resistor if I understand correctly (one wire to lug 1, the other two to lugs 2 and 3 as shown in the link below).  Both controls use an A1M pot.

So, if I want to reverse the sweep, I believe I can just modify the wiring to have the first wire connect to lug 3 (instead of 1) and the second wire connect to lugs 1 and 2 (instead of 2/3).  However, since it's an "A" log-taper pot, would i need to use a "C" reverse-log-taper pot as well to get similar performance?  I am thinking I would but am not sure and was hoping someone smarter than me could shed some light here.

Could anyone verify/clarify?  I know I could test one with my multimeter and plot the results but would rather know before ordering.  Thanks madbeaners.

Yes. You can get the pot to work in the direction you want, but as you suspect, you will also need to use a C taper pot to get the same response curve.

Thank you sir -- looks like I need to order more parts... so it goes.
