Well what would a Boner suggest?

Pre-pot: louder
Post pot: Usage of volume control

I'll readily admit that my bias is towards pre-pot. When you connect the pro-sound pre-pot, you're skipping another part of the headphone amp circuit that colors the sound output and is failure prone.

Is the loudness of a  'Pre-pot' connection neccessary? Would it be safe to increase your volume outside of the gb device with out using the "color"?
And while using a 'Post-pot' connection, while recording out what would be your suggested volume of the gameboy's pot? Maxed?

If any, what are the pros/cons of pre-pot and post-pot?

Okay so I'm just about to change around the wiring, but before I did I went ahead and tested what I currently have on my stereo. It now seems to have the boost in volume, and general noise reduction. But now there is a little bit of another problem?!
When using lsdj, anything that I have set as a centered output (LR) is being pushed to the Left speaker, but when the output is set to either L or R it does just that, it goes to the Left or Right side. hmm....

Okay sweet. Thanks for the info, I'll let you know what ends up happening and if my issue is fixed

Love it!

Yes the slider does effect the prosound. Is that a bad thing?

I'll try and resolder the wires onto the top two (pre pots) because I currently have them attached to the post. By doing so will I be cutting out the slider completely?

There is a chance it could be a wire, I took them out of an old keyboard so, maybe that wasn't the best of ideas

So I've recently followed a tutorial in order to prosound my dmg-01.

I understand that by doing so I am now bypassing the headphone amp, thus resulting in a lower volume if I use headphones in my new jack.

If hooking it up through my stereo or other means, I can crank it, and/or record it out to my computer for further workings.

After I finished the mod, I used my headphones (out of convenience) just to test if it was working at all. It is, but I am just a little puzzled on one thing.
The left speaker, channel, or what ever you may call it is significantly louder than the right. I shouldn't complain until I truly test it but does this seem like another issue that I'm having? Shouldn't the headphones at least have a even balance of volume? or could it be that the lack of the headphone amp is causing the unbalance to be there?
