how does the volume control work on the amp, since my preamp has a volume control?

If you are adjusting your volume from a preamp or other sources such as iPod or mobile phone, you just need to set the volume to max (ie turn the volume knob to max) on the AudioSource amp-100. I've set mine up this way and works great!

That's how I use mine. (FYI - with an older HDTV set - since the output is external - you might not be able to control the volume of the sound without adjusting the amp's control. That is a bit of a pain.)

The volume knob is independent of the gain channel. To control the level for both channels (the overall volume) the "boost" control farthest to the right is what you use.The pre-gain in the gain section controls the distortion, and the post-gain control allows you to set a level relative to the cleans for channel switching.In a small club, if you played mostly clean with a distortion solo- you might do volume 5, pre-gain 7, post-gain 7, master 6. That would make the cleans blend in, and the gain channel would be louder

Yes, you need a preamp to drive the aux channel on your amp. This one work great.

if it is an audio technica atpl120, then it already has a phono preamp, so if you hook it up to a stereo or headphones, you should be hearing it in full volume control. so I would think just hooking it up to your headphones will give you full volume. 1980s or older turntables don't have a preamp so they relied on specially revamped phono audio hookups, but yours already is preamped so you don not need any addition preamp devices.

Not very, but it's by design. Since there's only a single knob to control both gain and volume, it breaks up pretty early, at least in my experience with a 1x12 and 2x12. The gain stepping is also pretty aggressive as you turn the knob. Others below seem to disagree but what constitutes "clean" and "loud" is highly subjective. There are however well published mods that you can do (or have done) to add tone, volume, etc. controls to the head. While it does sound great for a $100 tube amp, if you're going to consider investing in the mods it's probably more sensible to just buy a small head with more controls for the same additive price.

It has a remote that allows you to switch between inputs, to control the volume and to mute the amp. It does not allow you to turn the amp on and off. However, the power consumption when the amp is muted is very low so it is probably not very different from the standby position of other amps.

No, as there is no volume control on the unit. The volume is controlled by the amp or what ever device is providing input.

Not familiar with what all the Sohos amp can do, however this PYLE unit has volume controls (separately) on ;DREEE ANN. 2 THE NNIGHT PRRTICIUPEhannel. Scdaam usays

A device like this is not meant to control volume. It is simply a converter. You would control the volume through the input and output devices connected to it.

What M. Olsen said. The Gain and Master Volume are going to add "volume" (Gain, loudness) to the signal chain. So there will be a noticeable difference between the two especially if you like the way your amp responds to overdriving the amp's preamp tube with the Master control. You could increase the gain and lower the Volume setting on the pedal but you'll be getting your distortion from the pedal's preamp tube, not the amp's. You might like it, might not.

The volume knob on the back is so you can set a level that gets you to what ever level you want to be for external control (i.e. 0 dB). Once you plug your speakers to a device that is sending sound to the speakers, you'll want to control the volume from what ever source is sending the signal out.

You do need an amp with loop effects, it does not work with amps with no loop effects. Why? Because this volume control will be on the last line of pedals, but if you put after this volume box to the amp, you will use the gain and volume of amp, so it will be the same situation with or without volume box.

The volume control regulates the volume for ear phones only. The volume that goes to an amplifier is constant; the system presumes you will control volume from your amplifier or computer.

No volume control no, I tried it hoping it would give my acoustic bass just a little more volume for acoustic jams, it's a cool idea, but it sounds awful, also thought it might work for a self monitor through it's headphone out but that didn't work out for me either - I've hardly used it since, would sell it cheap if you want to contact me

I am not sure what the RF gain control does but I can tell you that I use a MacBook PRO as well as iPhone as input. I set the volume control (OUT) on the back of the back of the amp and then use my volume control on the MacBook/iPhone to control the volume (IN).

The lead side had a pre gain and a post gain..either can be used as a volume control... If unwanted a dirty sound..turn up the pre gain and turn down the post gain... For a clean sound, reverse it.. The boost knob is great..it works regardless of what channel ur in.. Get the footswitch..the button on the right controls the boost...i think its labeled effects.. Good luck!
