OK folks,
I have followed the discussions on the Polysix mods, and I am in the process of implementing them into mine.
First of all: on my P6 the R167 (in the effects PCB) is neighter 2.2K (as Korg stated they were in the "old production") nor is it 33K as stated in the service manual schematics (I hope there is only one version of the service manual).
On my P6 the R167 is 4.7K.
Secondly, in the schematics, and is what you describe, there should be a 1K resistor in parallell to R167. Well: there isn´t. Not on my PCB anyway.
You do state that this was only in theory, and that you liked the bright sound, so you never did remove the 1K resistor. Did you ever find it on the PCB?
And then, from what Tony says (below):
By "CE" do you mean the C84 ceramic cap?
By "C78" do you mean that cap belonging to IC17? That doesn´t seem right - you might mean C79?
My P6 is all completely apart now, so implementing any mods is easy at this stage.

Steady now. The actions of the mod that Korg introduced in the later
models also applied additional changes to the feedback around the final
op-amp. The actions of CE and C78 should also be considered - the value
of CE may be enough to de-emphasize the increased brightness due to the
1K resistor. C78 is interesting because its action will be dependant on
the gain of the OTA.
I looked at the overall response of the whole output stage on my P6 by
sweeping a single note's resonating filter across the whole audio band.
I didn't see any major change in amplitude over the audible range.
