Line-Level

Would you be surprised to learn that there is a real difference between volume controls and level controls? Unfortunately today, controls which are really “level” controls routinely get tagged with the label “Volume”. But what’s the difference?

For the last couple of days I’ve been revisiting an idea for a “tone control” preamp. I had originally decided to go one way with the design, but then something happened to change my mind. My ears got involved.
