Do any of you use your WA22 as a preamplifier?

I have a new solid state amp on the way and I'm told it does well when you use a tube amp as a preamplifier. When you set the WA22 to the PRE setting on the dial, is the output from WA22 set to a certain level/gain (dB) and voltage, with the volume on the front being inactive?

I use mine as a preamp, probably more than for headphones. The volume knob works the same in pre mode as it does for ‘phones.

OK, thanks. Curious how one knows the correct level on the WA22 so you don't overload your second amp?

I believe Woo recommends setting your volume at 12'oclock if you are using your WA22 as a pre. Then use the volume on your other amp as needed (assuming it has one). If you need "more" power, push the WA22 volume up from there.
