What I've got is a stereo amp which I'm using as a sub power amp. The tone control section and preamp was was removed as it was faulty. I've added a sub bass processor which provides gain, low pass filter, equaliser, 20Hz filter and inverter/buffer output.
The circuit diagram is for the buffer/gain stage (LM833) which gives ±12dB or a gain of 4/0.25 via a pot RV1 (varies the input attenuation at R4 and the opamp's negative feedback at R6). The circuit is balanced, gain of 1, with RV1 in the centre position. What I want to do is increase the gain to 8/0.125 to give me ±24dB as when the preamp was removed, a lot of gain was lost.
Being opamp challenged, I think it's just a matter of:
increasing R4 and R6 to 100k?
or decreasing R3 to 51k?
or decreasing R5 to 7K5?
or am I way off course?
What would be the maximum gain that could be used?
Any advice would be appreciated.

What? No replies......
In the too hard basket, hey.
I've had my books out and can't figure out how they get a gain of 4/0.25 with this circuit.
