You can damp a resistor with all kinds of different material...please experiment...they all have a different sound...if you have any resistor or cap or whatever hanging in space you have a tuning fork.I am not saying that an Alps pot sounds state of the art for the shunt element....just a nude Vishay and cheap alps pot to ground will blow most any other attenuator away and is pretty darn cheap (the definition of DIY for many....how cheap something is)...not my definition....I try to use the best parts I can afford....a nude damped Vishay to ground will kill the alps pot....but a whole bunch of nude Vishays and a switch will set you back a plenty.
