RE: Pre-Amp - rookie question

Probably. Preamplifiers attenuate a line level signal most of the time, because these sources typically produce 500mV to 2V. In any particular case (e.g. a -15dB setting in this preamplifier), the fixed gain of the preamplifier circuitry (usually 10dB or so) and relative level of the volume control references to 0 gain (usually "0dB")would have to be determined in order to know if the setting is actually amplifying or attenuating the input.
