Hello everyone!
I was wondering, what if I use, say, 250k pots for sustain, tone and volume in a Big Muff?
I can't get 100k pots, unfortunately.
I believe, there is nothing bad about it and i won't hear any difference, what do you think?

Nothing bad indeed, but you better add a 220k - 270k resistor across lugs 1 & 3 of the pots...

You will not have linear pots anymore but you will be OK with stages impedances..
