Do Friedman modules have master volume magic?

I hear that the great thing about Friedman amps is that they sound good at low volume. I'm curious if the modules are the same. Apparently the Synergy-brand modules were designed by Friedman. Do they have the same master volume magic as the Friedman amps?

Technically the Friedman master is described as "The MV uses a 220k resistor in series with the master volum wiper after the tonestack so u don't lose bass at low vokumes.. you gain bottom and bass at the expense of volume loss"
 
Almost every module ever made in the history of the modular line has that resistor off the wiper of the treble pot entering the master volume. There is a pair of resistors forming a voltage divider off the wiper of the master. That type of circuit is actually pretty common in many amps. It impacts the taper for a more gradual change and loads the circuits up and downstream.
