]]>]]>I suggest you to use the pre-pot wiring, and bypass de volume potentiomenter. If you use a mixer, you can control de volume there, and you'll get the loudest volume avaliable by default
Agreed. I just learned about this, and I think I'm going to redo my older pro-sounds that left the volume pot in the circuit.
I much prefer it with the pre-pot wiring.
]]>It will use the original jack and mute the speaker.
You can use any jack (with an additional pin for speaker muting) as long as you wire it the same.

+1
]]>The headphone jack and speaker work exactly like they did before, leaving them intact when you add a new jack doesn't affect your sound quality.
EDIT: That low-gain tutorial seems kind of needlessly complex to me—no disrespect to Mr. Gain intended, as he's an innovator.

I'm following low-gain's pro sound tutorial in which i'll install a separate 1/8" jack for line out and I want to make sure that I get this right. I don't cut any wires, I solder the new 1/8" jack to pre-left and right and ground solder points and cut out the speaker. By doing this I will have a pro sound mod in which the headphone jack works fine and the line out is always max volume for recording, right?
Bumping for some quick reassurance, the sooner I get some the sooner I can finish this mod.
Yes

]]>to answer your 4th question, you could do a prosound with a 5 pin headphone jack, and rig it up that way. just jump the connections from the origional headphone jack to the pin. itll look something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-10-Qty-3 … 519dd54ffe
it
another thing you can do is put a switch between one of the speaker leads, but thats a little of a hassel =P
I'm not sure using another jack (5 or more pins) you can use the speaker switch cable to mute it.
the speaker switch cable is "normally connected" to GND and when you plug a jack in the headphone jack, it disconnect it from GND.
I tried to find a equivalent jack with the same feature and it is quite difficult to find ( with similar size) because you need a 3.5mm jack stereo with a "normally connected" isolated switch.
if you did some successfull experiment with a replacement jack, i will be happy to know which one you used

-The volume control works
-The speaker does cut out when headphones are plugged in
-I've not yet found a pair of headphones that don't work more than loud enough through this method
-You don't have to ruin a shell by drilling/melting a hole in it
