Replacing fuzz pot with fixed resistor

I'm putting together the Axial Fuzz from Effects Layouts and have an old enclosure with a two knob setup ready to use. I usually just have the fuzz control maxed out on fuzz pedals, so I thought it would be sensible to drop that pot and keeping the Level and Filter controls.

I'll put the schematic below. Would I put a 100K resistor between the 220nf caps and omit the 330R? 220nf -> 100K -> 220nf?

Thanks!

Having the sustain dimed would mean there is zero resistance between lug 2 and 3 and 100k resistance between lug 1 and 2. You can either wire 100k and 330 in series to ground or exactly what you mentioned. Yours would be easier.

This is a very helpful explanation (as are the rest of your tutorials)! The decision to use the two knob enclosure was a last minute one, so I already have the 330R resistor soldered in. Taking it out wouldn't be an issue, but if I wanted to just leave it be and have the 100K -> 330 in series, would it look like this?
