EM-EX-R + ToneTweq

[Big O]

Trying to figure out the best way to connect a ToneTweq to a 250 style distortion.  There are two ways shown in documents on using the ToneTweq in combo builds.  The first is tying in the input of the ToneTweq to the Volume Pot input eyelet (Volume Pot solder pad #3), which would obviate the need for a Volume Pot on the distortion PCB.  Diagram below from GPCB documents.

The second would be using a Volume Pot on the distortion PCB and then using the Board OUT to the ToneTweq IN as below (Diagram below from GPCB documents).  If one wanted to Eliminate the distortion Volume Pot but use the distortion PCB OUT solder pad, a jumper could be placed between Volume Pot Solder Pads #3 and #2 connecting the signal output from the clipping diodes to the OUT solder pad on the PCB.

Connections (Traces) to distortion PCB output from clipping diodes as below.

What would the best way to configure this?  Two volume pots (Distortion PCB and ToneTweq) or WITHOUT Distortion PCB Volume Control (Jumper version or Non-jumper version)?

Seems a great time to use an easy order switcher. Keep both volumes and have tons of tonal possibility. If no room in the enclosure then I would come off of pad 3 of the dist+ to the in of the TT.
