Get your amp hot :wink: , whack both the janglebox knobs up to around 2 o'clock, whack the Reverb Tone and Mix knobs up to max on your AC30 but keep the drive switch on low, and wow, surf along on a reverb ride that does big poo poos over anything coming from the Fender side of town. :twisted:

Let me know how you get on.
Mateybob, you'll probably hear my neighbors yelling, all the way across the pond, if I follow all your suggestions on cranking everything up to the max !!!

Not everything! Just the Reverb tone and mix knobs, leave everything else as is. :)

Well, I tried that "Hot" setting Back Panel switch out this afternoon, (in combo with the Vintage switch), on the CC2, and going to keep using it. 8) I plug into the Top Boost channel and I like adding a little bit of the Normal channel, with the switch up, for a little natural Overdrive. Had the Volume settings around 10 -11 o'clock. Used a Tube Screamer pedal for some of the tunes. No chance to try your Reverb recommendations as we didn't practice any Reverb songs today.

I can't turn my Janglebox up too high, though or I start to get feedback. I kept the JB settings (Gain and Attack) around the 1'o clock positions.

With regards to feedback with the JB turned up high, just try moving it around or a bit further away from the amp.
I can get mine nearly up to the max without any feedback. 8)

For my '72 4001, I've got an Ampeg SVT3 and Genz Benz 410 UB2 cabinet. I set the midrange EQ to its lowest frequency (which corresponds to about an octave up on the G string) and boost it slightly, and engage the Bright switch (boost at 2 kHz or so); I boost the low EQ to suit the room. With the tweeter about halfway up on the cabinet, I get the best sound I've ever heard from this bass. (My fretless J-bass sounds great too!)

For recording, I take the post-EQ direct output from the amp, which gives me essentially the same sound I'd be sending to a speaker.
Turn on, tune up, rock out!
