Any phono preamps with volume control?

Current Setup: Eversolo A6 Streamer, Emotiva XPA-2, Polk R700s.

Had a newb moment! I’ve been thinking about adding a turntable, and though I only needed a turntable and a Schiit Mani 2 preamp. Then, as I was staring at my current system today, it hit me that I wouldn’t have any way to control the volume while listening to the turntable. I feel like a dumb***.

I know one option is to add a Schiit Sys to the Mani 2, but are there any preamps with volume control?

You can use a full-function pre-amp (both phono and line stages) for just a phono pickup. The tape out jacks (which are "fed" by whichever input the pre-amp’s selector knob is turned to) are located before the line stage and volume/gain control in the circuit, but the regular output jacks are at the end of the circuit, so the volume/gain knob can be used. HAS to be, actually.
