Guitar preamp, lowering output voltage

[kacernator]

Hi,

I have built guitar preamp, which has too much output voltage swing. I measured with cheap DMM about 20V output swing. Where is the best place to put voltage divider 10:1 to reduce output voltage? I was thinking after the tonestack or after the presence control? It could be also after the mosfet buffer, but I think less voltage going into buffer more linear it stays.
Also what about replacing 470k/500K volume pot network with 1M/25k volume pot?

Thanks.

Why is this a problem? There is a potmeter between V1A and V1B,turn it dawn !

You misunderstand me. Pot betwwen V1A and V1B controls amount of distortion not output level. I need to lower output voltage swing after the tonestack somewhere.

Replace 220R/1M resistors on the output with a potentiometer or a fixed voltage divider.

Ah yes, you want the thing to distort
I am used to have amp's with as less distortion as possible
