For the 150k you can use a higher value pot and adjust it down with a parallel risistor.

For the analog bit crusher, from what I've read a 1M would work fine and is what was used in the demo vid if I remember correctly. Beyond that an updated version of it has been added to the forum by Freppo. It actually addresses the issues that seemed to plague the one you linked to. That is why I never built it. Plus Freppos version uses common pots here's a link

Sorry the link in my last pot didn't work. If you go to the forum then to contributions then Circuit Designs, it will be listed as Sonic Reducer

Here is a calculator for making custom pots:

Dude. That's a super neat tool. I've been figuring it out on my own, but this is totally bookmarked. Thanks.

Just an update to my earlier post:
I have built the Sonic Reducer and it sounds great. Compared to the Analog Bit Crusher demo it wins but it's reality vs YouTube.
I had built a Wolf Bagger a while back and this thing is far better.
