So, I'm working on a traveler guitar concept, and what I want to do is have an onboard preamp so that I can plug into headphones or have a small speaker to plug into. I have found http://www.guitarfetish.com/Onboard-25-Watt-Guitar-Amp-Drive-a-speaker-OR-Headphones_p_567.html this which looks good to me, the question is how to wire it.
My thought was to have a master volume and tone with the guitar (which has 2 humbuckers already). My question was, does this go in as the master volume? or as a seperate pot. The other thing mentioned in the description of the product is using a switch to turn the amp on or off, would this be needed or recommended? To install a push pull switch would that then be the master volume with the preamp pot being the preamp volume and would it be needed to function? Instead could I have a simple switch to turn the preamp on or off, and would it function properly through a standard amp then too? or is it worth to shell out the only $9 more for the push pull? I'm only really asking because I am low on space to keep the size down in this guitar.
Could anyone make a simple diagram of how this would layout for me? I'm not much used to electronics yet.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you very much.
