The condition you are describing is due to the design of the loudness contour. Remove the loudness switch from the circuit, and you may be pleasantly surprised. Disconnect the 0.1 capacitor and the wire that are soldered to the volume pot loudness tap, which is the one opposite the other three.
Most Alps pots are very good, and would be a worthwhile replacement for the original. Not knowing which type of Alps pot you have, I can't tell you how to connect it. Also, if it has a loudness tap like the original, it will exhibit the same problem with non-linear operation if the loudness circuit is retained. Hope this helps.
