What is a volume knob?

A volume knob is effectively what is know as a variable resistor. It controls the amount of resistance in a circuit. When the volume is low there is a lot of resistance, which reduces the current going to the amplifier. When the volume is high there is little resistance, which maximises the current flowing to the amp.

How does the volume knob work?

A classic analogue volume control consists of a potentiometer (variable resistor) in the signal path where the full signal is applied to one end of the potentiometer, the other end is grounded, and the downstream signal taken from the moving wiper. The knob position moves the wiper between ground and full signal.
