Volume Pot Attenuator Build for FX Loop

100k audio taper pot in a box.

I was recently reading up on the effectiveness of putting a volume pedal into the effects loop of a Peavey 6505 to bring the amp down to bedroom levels. Before I sank $100+ into a low impedance volume pedal, I remembered that there were multiple  potentiometer-based attenuator pedals on the market. I kept running into the JHS Little Black Amp Box, a $65 product. The box contains just a pair of jacks and a 100k audio pot on a PCB.

There are multiple gut shots of the pedal itself and DIY clones available, so I decided to build one. I already had all the parts from several Tayda bulk orders, so I saved myself the purchase. 

With the pot about halfway, my 6505 with the master volume on 1 suddenly dropped down to practice amp levels.
