I don't want to monopolise this board but I'm learning that I've got a lot to learn .

Thanks to many helpful people here and at AA (Alchoholics, not Audio hehe) I'm starting to "get it".

However I'm still not clear on what I need for a level control before an amp. 100k, 50k, pot, L-pad? Shorting out inputs?? Will a normal volume control work? Arrrrrgh!

Does anyone have a link or some basic instruction?

Thanks!

Pete
