I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Nice diagram, CJ.

I haven't commented before now because I'm just a hobbyist musician. My typical set-up is guitar into amp ... no effects, except for channel switching on the Kustom '36 Coupe amp I am currently using, plus the reverb at a reasonable setting to give the sound a little depth. I plly mainly clean songs, so I really don't need anything more.

Cool, CJ!

Gary, no Janglebox? I want to know what happens when you plug a 370/12RM into a JB. Certainly the fabric of space-time would be affected somehow.

Probably like plugging it directly into the TARDIS ... :D

I do have a Janglebox but it really doesn't 'do it' for me ... maybe I just haven't experimented enough with it yet. I can try recording the 370/12RM FG with the JB in line ... I think you're right, the compression might be enough to collapse the sound into a singularity! :lol: :lol:

I have, after several years of playing with tones, finally found a "jangle" sound I really really like. It requires a Boss NS2 and a MIJ Boss Limiter, but it does the whole chimey thing with no harsh peaks. I'll try to remember to post a pic of my settings.

Here it is. This seems to be magic. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the amp's BRIGHT channel should be off. And, FYI, I use the send/return on the noise suppressor, not just in-line.

Quad Box arrived. The "proposed setup" from my diagram is now a reality. The Neotech strap arrived too. Made the 4080 seem about half its weight. :D

Picture of my new "pedal board" (can't really call it a pedal board, as there are only three pedals)

New signal path, too:

Guitar > MXR Dyna Comp > Fuzz Face > Boss Chromatic Tuner > Fender Deluxe Reverb

Looks like a happy Robot wearing headphones there Jake :D I'm sure it sounds great! Board?

Jason, do you really have the distortion on that JC set on around 8, or is it footswitched off?
