What is the expected change in sound if one was to change out the 250k volume pot with a 1M volume pot in a Blues Deluxe amplifier?

Went ahead and did the mod and I strongly recommend it.

The Blues Deluxe uses a unique shunt volume control circuit instead of a voltage divider type. I would expect a little more gain at maximum volume, but I think the main effect would be a non linearity, to volume adjustment. That is, it would have a portion of the rotation where volume doesn't change.
