This amp uses a relatively high-gain driver (12AT7) so the "preamp" is just a volume control and a source selector switch. Several customers have replaced the volume control with a pair of 100K resistors and bypassed the switch, for the same reason.
For more information, you are welcome on the Bottlehead forum.
Full disclosure - I designed that amp.

Thanks....great info.
I never built a amp. from kit before. Can I do it ?
Thanks......
I'm a Latin teacher and I have built most of the kits they offer at one time or another. If you can solder you can do it, the directions simply don't get any better. If you can't solder, post on Bottlehead and ask if there is someone nearby who can teach you. Chances are good there is and they will.
If you know how to solder you can do it.
The instructions are very good.

I'm looking for a second hand one now. I might not able to put one together.
Let me know if you have one for sell.

These products are pretty straight-forward to build and come with great instructions and support over at bottlehead. I love used gear but you can get into a ton of trouble quickly if there are any issues (on a kit amp). If you start fresh, take your time and passed kindergarten, it should be a pleasing and worthwhile endeavor.
Bottlehead will build kits for you. See the web site and the forum for more information.
