DIY Front End 2022 - switched gain?

About to ask a question which will show my ignorance of field interference...

My understanding on gain being the ratio of r3/r1 would it be possible to replace r3/r4 with a small switched resistor circuit, so as to provide for two different gains? or maybe three...

I understand the resistance part of it, but I am wondering if this would introduce some weird em field that I would never understand...My plan would be to have the resistors up off the front panel switch, separate from the circuit board.

Thanks!
 
R3/R1 and R4/R2 set the gain. R1 and R2 stay at 10k and R3 and R4 (R3=R4) are adjusted to adjust the gain.

R3 and R4 off-board should not be a problem. However to minimize any negative effects of the connecting wires, tightly twist the wires that connect each resistor back to the PCB.
