I noticed that as the value of the resistor increased, so did that 60 hz hum that it helped tame, but on the good side, it brings back more of the gainy rawness and brightness. So it wouldn't hurt to experiment.

Like I said before, a 250K no-load pot would get you about all the variance you need. You could wire it in series with a 10K resistor, and be able to go from 10K to 260K to open (non NFB). Just for an example.

One thing you could try Red, is to try the 47k NFB resistor, but remove the jumper from the 22pf/1 meg filter. that arrangement may work better with humbuckers.
