Preamp output Creek 4040s2

Hello!


Just wondering if there was a way to use the preamp of the 4040s2 for an external power amp.
I'm building a power amp at the moment but the diy preamp world seems to have abandoned classic analogue tone controls which I really can't live without. So it would be nice if the Creek could be modified to steal the signal before it enters the power amp section.
I've researched the same thing for an NAD 3020e and it turns out that it would be possible but not advisable for some reason.


Or if there is a preamp/input selector (diy) solution with a decent analogue tone and volume control, I'd be happy to hear about it.


Thanks!
