Audio taper pots are generally favored for volume controls because they give the perception of a more equal change in loudness for each increment of pot rotation.

If you use a linear taper pot for volume, it gives very little perceived loudness change between, say, 10 and 8, then a more rapid change in loudness as you continue to roll down.

Having said all that, some people do prefer linear taper pots for volume controls, it just depends on how you want your pedal to respond.
