Jangle Box JB-OB

Post by gdglenn »

Just noticed that Jangle Box has released "JangleBox JB-OB is an onboard, active compression circuit ". Don't know how recent but I was on the site a few weeks ago and don't remember seeing it.

Curious if anyone has tried it. Looks very cool.

Mine arrived very quickly, but I am having second thoughts about which guitar to put it on. I'm not crazy about the neck of the '02 360/12 FG I originally planned to put it in. Might hold out for something pre-92 to come along.

I installed one on my 340/12 last week. It's ok.

You lose individual tone controls, but the tone/compression 6 position knob has decent sounds.

What I really don't like is that if you turn any of the 3 pickup volume knobs all the way down, it acts like a master volume and you get no output.

I really enjoy this installed into my 330/12, but like mentioned above, I don’t like how all volume is off if you turn down ANY knob.

Lots of sounds, and I like how bright it gets for max jangle, but I usually turn my amp treble down a LOT.

Also, it has Ric-O-Soubd capability, but do you need a splitter box? I plugged in a stereo splitter cable and I get a signal out of one side and some crackling out of the other.
