In a word: NO

I hope you didn't buy something you don't know how to use..?

There are a few different models, but I think the main volume control is on upper left side. Eq usually along the bottom sometimes over to the right, usually 10 band or 12. 

There's quite a bit of technical in the way the gain controls are and how they work with cut offs. Sometimes 2x bass controls, though usually only one works at a time. 

A pic would be handy, and input from Barracuda pre amp users/owners.

Wow,, you've done well to get the diagrams etc. The Tubbys looks pretty old too, has it had a service..? 

The Barricuda sounds much better when playing old tunes, the tops are pretty strong, but I found it didn't do so well on the modern sounding tunes. 

Pots probably need some re-knewing on both if aged, but a nice set of old time pre's you got there.

A few ive seen have had phono sockets on the back, (maybe added on) also see you got the jack socket for bass slider on the diagram, couldnt see it in the photo. Does anyone use this feature anymore??
