250, 500, 1K Vol Pots?

Do a volume pot swaps significantly alter guitar tones?

Thanks. Maybe switching out to some 1K pots might be just the ticket.

Not 1k, but 1M.

For example of difference between 250k and 500k (in single volume configuration) check this sample:

Scroll for J90C 250k and J90C 500k
With screamer and other booster:

1M volume+tone equivalent to 500k single volume, so you can check it before pull the trigger.
