To all the wiring gurus out there (Weirdy, I’m looking at you) I could do with some advice please.
I am still researching my next build but (if I go ahead) it will include a pre-amp that I already have laying around that has volume, eq, etc as part of a unit that is meant for external mounting on an acoustic guitar. My plan is to locate this pre-amp INSIDE the body of the guitar thus making access to the volume knob rather problematic.
I was wondering if I could set the volume on the pre-amp to max and then insert another pot on the wiring that goes from the pre-amp unit to the output jack thus giving me an external volume knob. Would this second pot interfere/degrade the signal and if not would I need a special pot for this or would one of the run of the mill 250/500k pots do the job. Once the guitar is complete I could experiment with pots to see which gives me the sound I am after.
As I am a complete numpty when it comes to wiring any help would be appreciated.
