Mine isn't stepped, and I wouldn't want to be limited to 2dB steps on the input to find the Mu Spot (I wonder if I could trademark that name...
). Sometimes it's a pretty subtle move and you can really dial in just the sound you want. Optionally, if you had some way to control gain in an earlier stage, you could adjust what you are feeding the VM that way. If not, It's six of one, half dozen the other. There are ups and downs, and you have to choose based on your personal priorities for that piece. My reason for having a Vari-Mu is for that sound, so I'd skip the stepped pot because of that priority. If I'm going for precision and neutrality, I use other tools.
