Part substitutions/mods for hard-to-find values?

Looking to get my build on soon, and I've added the Lovepedal Dragon (layout) , Foxrox CC Hybrid (layout) and the Carlsbro Fuzzbox (layout) to the build list.

Problem is - the Dragon and Foxrox state they need 500R Lin pots, and the Carlsbro layout shows a 25uf Axial Cap...I know I could *probably* get away with a 22u or 33u axial, but what value would be best?

And as far as the 500r Lin pots go - I could sub 1k, but is there a way to add a resistor to the pot to get it closer to the spec value?

Thanks in advance.
