BA questions: VU meter, variable impedance

Howdy, I'm building a single BA with JLM14 transformer, LME49860 opamp, fet DI, and VU buffer+meter. 1) The table in the BA build thread says RL should be 2k2 + 50k pot for variable impedance, but my kit came with a 100k pot. Is it okay to use this instead of a 50k pot? 2) I want to power the VU buf...
