I couldn't find the answer to this in the "Secret Life of Pots"

I just built an AMZ MOSFET Booster which as you may know, uses a 5K volume pot.  I subbed in a 10K because that's all I had, and of course the first 80% of the rotation does nothing, as expected.  But then I thought, if a pot is just a resistor, and two 10k resistors in series will yield a total resistance of 5K, why couldn't I just solder a 10k resistor across lugs 3 and 2 (1 and 2 are soldered together)?  I know that will change the overall resistance on the pot to 5K, but will it mess with the log taper?

no, that should be fine.

Small Bear will have the new pots for the Mosfet Boost in the new year.
