I'm building a pedal out of old parts I have lying around. It uses a 5K lin pot, but I don't have one. I started thinking and, if I use a 10K lin pot and put a 10k resistor in parallel with it, I'd get a 5K pot right? Rev log if I'm not mistaken?

Like this?

I think you want the resistor hooked up between the two lugs with the wires coming off them.
