Fender Rumble Club

It seems the Global EQ is specifically targeted at compensating for either a bright or boomy room, nothing else. The appropriate mids for sitting in, or cutting through, the mix would then be up to your selected preset in relation to the other instruments.

Did you use different presets throughout the gig? Do you have recordings of any different presets there?

There would also be some questions for the recordings' EQ. The ambient mic used to record may not have been very bass sensitive? Were you listening to a "rough mix", or can the playback(s) be re-EQ'd for better balance?

Lotsa variables. Fascinating!
.
Agreed. Plus there's a chance the recording mic was placed in a null (where the amplitude of lower frequencies was de-emphasized by the geometry of the venue).

Standing waves resulting from room modes can have the effect of making it unbearably loud in the spot where you're standing, yet mere feet away, causing a null where the bass disappears. They may also make one note boom out much louder than others. Where you place your amp or cabinet is critically important in this regard. Real world solutions on typical small stages include using two cabinets (or one combo amp and one cabinet) placed at different distances from side walls, corners and the floor to minimize such effects, and lower the odds that you'll inadvertently place your amp in the worst place in the room.

So there's a legitimate basis in physics for buying that extra cab you're GASsing over!

Never had EC, but I hear great reviews. Gonna have to give it go. I’ve been partial to Maker’s Mark and Bulleit. I usually enjoy bourbon in a High Ball. Which, by the way, reminds me of this joke...

What did the giraffe say when he walked into the bar?

High balls on me

That's great to hear, Brussy. How about a pic that ol' warhorse? And I bet our resident ol' warhorse, @Gravedigger Dav, would be glad to make you a fully numbered member of The Club!

I searched and can't find anything about @Bruster having any Rumble. I followed the responses and ended up on #1. Post back @Bruster, and will get you signed up.

just wanna share my rumble experience of today...
i thought about selling my 500c because i have two v3 112s and a rumble 350 head which i love, especially the overdrive is very versatile. the v3 overdrive cuts too many sub frequencies for my taste and without the blend of the v2 this is just not useful for channel switching during a song. another problem i had with the v3 is harsh preamp clipping with heavy flatwounds. today i found out the clipping is gone even when i crank the gain. the reason is: my bass is now strung with lighter pressurewound strings and the typical initial thump of the flats was the only reason for the clipping while digging in hard. now it's a pleasure to drive the preamp hard with vintage engaged and getting some smooth tubey compressed overtones, even without the od-section engaged. so i'll keep it for now. end of the story ;)
