Small Clone input/output volume

What would be the best way to implement input volume and output volume controls on the Small Clone Chorus?

Should I use something like the buffers on this wah pedal?

Do the buffers on the wah offer flexible volume, or do the trimmers just set it to unity gain?

How about input and output volume on anything?  I'd like something more sophisticated than a pot to ground on the input, and the output sometimes doesn't like that type of stuff.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

A regular buffer(AMZ for example, stratblaster.. you could use a clean one, or one with some grit.. to add a bit of distorsion.) one at input, the other at the output.. with their respective gain controls.

As any BOSS pedals.. all have input and output buffers.. but you can't control their gain.

Was this what you wanted=

Thanks, QSQCaito.  The stratoblaster does look like an ideal candidate.

Are there any buffers with a volume control?  Or does that feature automatically make such circuits a booster http://generalguitargadgets.com/pdf/ggg_joam_sc_amz.pdf?  Does the inclusion of a variable resistor in a buffer immediately start screwing with what it was designed for (impedances, et al)?

This super buffer definitely looks "super".  Is there somewhere I could put a pot?

Or would I have to put a "booster" after it? 

Or maybe a pot in these?

Ideally a circuit would provide unity gain at 50% of the pot's rotation, and then attenuation or gain on the left or right side respectively.

Thanks.
