Volume Control Impedance Rating

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I am building a preamp that calls for a 100k volume control. I have a ladder type 50k resister based that I would like to use. Is there a way to modify it to up the rating to 100k? The ground wire is attached to a 50k resister, so I assume this is the resister that defines the input resistance. Can I just change this to a 100k resistor or does that somehow mess up the operating characteristics of the control?
