I see how you get different brightness with different volume pots such as 100k, 250k, 500k, 1 meg.
how they work is thoroughly explained in this video.

I have 2 questions. using a 250k for example:
number 1.
the volume pot has a range of 0 to 250k.
at 0 ohms (knob fully clockwise) you get maximum brightness.
at 250k ohms (knob fully counter-clockwise) it cuts the treble the most.
so, why would a 500k be brighter than a 250k, when they are both at 0 ohms for maximum brightness?
instead, wouldn't the difference be that the 500k gets darker than the 250k when turned fully counter-clockwise?
number 2.
can't you simply use a 500k and get the same tone as a 250k, when the 500k is at 250k? in other words, doesn't a 500k do everything the 250k does and more?
