I intend on building an power amplifier as a summer project and I don't have an electronics background so pardon any questions that appear to be stupid.
The amp that I want to use has four gain configurations and on it evaluation board these configurations are adjusted with the help of a pair of shunts.
What I wanted to know is what would happen if instead of the shunts I used a potentiometer to vary the gain of the amp ?
Would it be big and stupid noob mistake or is it a good idea.
