Build a better Volume Control

[PALADIN]

Another way to do this is to find the signal INPUT to the final amp, cut the trace on the board with an exacto knife and install a 10K ohm pot there and reduce the work of the audio amp.This is NOT for the first timer

Wouldn't it be easier, and ultimately cheaper and safer to control volume with smaller cheaper pots at the amp input rather than output? It seems the better way to go. There don't seem to be any posts about how to do that--yours being the only mention of it I've found. I would be grateful for any info on this approach for a Sammy Aladdin II evolution.
