korg preamp vol pot impedance question

[Wang1]

What would be the effects of using a 100k pot instead of the 50k pot for the vol control.

Source impedance is only around 600r

In principle, no big deal.

For a better image, we need the load impedance, what is its wiper driving.

Remember to use same taper as original one, which I suppose is Audio/Log

If you look at the early part of this thread, there is lots of discussion about the effects of the volume pot and impedance loading in general:
