Hello, i wanna design a preamp pedal for my SM58 microphone. Whats more useful or "right", putting the XLR in the IN or the OUT? I thought of putting a TRS mono in and a XLR out so it goes straight to the board.
Any thoughts?

Have input as XLR, output preferably both TS and XLR with option of line/instrument level.

what happens if i do what i stated in Op, just TRS IN, XLR OUT? what are the risks?

Would this pedal be before or after the amp?

If it is going to be a preamp, it would be before the power amp.
The photo seems to be just a guitar pedal, not very related to the subject.

he might want his preamp in a stompbox format.
the enclosure is irrelevant in any case.

Im not that well versed in soundtech, i guess it depends on your setup.
XLR in might be a gien, i haven't seen many monojack microphones outside of harmonica mics.
the output depends on your 'amp' as you say.
for stage use through a mixer i think xlr is a clear choice.
why no both though?
making an unbalanced output form a balanced is like one op-amp more.
what thoughts have you made on power rails, single or dual?

You'll need an adapter for 99% of the mics on the market and having a TS out or balanced TRS is just more convenient.
Just use combination XLR/TRS sockets on the way in and out. Ultimate flexibility.

The gain of XLR all the way through is noise reduction; an important aspect for microphones.
The gain of unbalanced all the way through is compatability with things beyond your mixing board, or possibly even on your mixing board itself; depending on your board and your requirements.
XLR and TRS are the same thing in a different form, just like micro and mini usb
