Tonemender Preamp (Mods)

[blindsjc]

I was reading some comments about the use
of Tonemender as amplifier preamp. So, the
idea is to change the first opamp, wired as a
voltage follower to a non-inverting amplifier.

Thats the discussion:
Q) In schematic of tonemender, why is the first opamp wired as
a voltage follower? Isnt  there any gain needed for input of my preamp?
Can (should) I wire this as a normally non-inverting opamp to get bit of gain?

R) Yes, you should: The following tonestack is passive and
will introduce insertion losses. Insertion losses on low amplitude
signal mean added noise.

Finally, somebody have some more information about
this mod? Somebody knows how to define the best amount
of gain to take advantage from this mod? Any additional info?

Thnaks a lot
