Can I Use a B25K in Sproing?

What would happen if I used a B25K potentiometer in a Sproing Reverb instead of the suggested A10k potentiometer?
I made a sproing and it was pretty tame even at eleven so you may give that a try. I suggest putting a completed board on the PedalPCB auditorium platform and just dry fitting the potentiometer- and then solder in the one that you love
 
I'm guessing if you use the B25k, it'll be more finicky to dial in the amount of reverb you want, small knob-adjustments making big jumps.
How it affects the overall amount of reverb at the ends of the dial — fully CW or fully CCW — I don't know. However...

If you've got an 17k8 resistor, solder it across lugs 1&3 = 10k4.
An 18k resistor gets you 10k5 on the pot.
A 20k would also be close enough, coming to a total of 11k.


Also, if you have the Protoboard Micro, you can use it just like the PPCB Auditorium.
