I know that the volume pot on the JJB Prestige 330 is a passive volume control, so if the preamp has a gain control rather than a passive volume control, I could see some value in keeping both pots, as having the extra controlability might be useful in dialing in my sound.
As far as I know, it's a volume and phase control of the preamp. You'll want to bypass the passive control on the JBB. Dialing down the passive signal and increasing the active preamp will just introduce noise.
