Can't get enough of this 40c
One thing I did note though. In the below pic you can see I have a Zoom B1four. At home I don't use it for FX but merely as a metronome. Bit overkill for what it is, lol, but when I'm on the road I use it for headphone practice in hotel rooms. With the 40c, I plug it into the AUX port when I want a metronome.
The other day as I was working through an exercise, I noted the tone and overall volume were not "right". Thought it was just me being tired. Then on Friday I noticed the same thing. Unplugged the Zoom and the tone came back!
On the Studio 40, I'd have the metronome volume of the Zoom up at around 8-10. On the 40c I can only run it around 1-2 or it clicks too loud.
My question is, when AUXing in, does the 40c MUX the external and internal sources changing the sound? I've put the Zoom on a separate little speaker for home, but I was a little confuse initially with the 40c's output. Not an issue as there is a very simple solution, just looking to understand.

P.S. footswitch with the Drive circuit zeroed, is the ultimate practice mute! lol

P.P.S. The Squier 40th P is a new addition. Amazing instrument that I can't put down. When I got the D5, I had been looking for a P but chose the D5 over the P5. Now that I have this 40th P, with it on rounds and the D5 on TI flats, my fleet feels complete

I might have figured this out on my own and will test it later.
I'm thinking the output from the B1four is too hot (hence why I have the metronome volume turned down so low) and through the MUX it's causing too high of an overall level creating clipping in the post amp. And I hear that as a compressed, "off" tone. I'll make a B1four preset with no amps, effects or cab and see if I turn that overall volume down if the tone stays the same.
As I said, it's no biggy but is kind of a mystery (to me) I'd like to solve.

I'm glad you've got a working theory, pil, since no one else here did. Yours sounds like a reasonable explanation, too. If the Zoom signal inside the R40 is a lot stronger than your bass's signal, perhaps it is pushing the Delta-Comp circuit into a much more compressed tone that you noticed. See the R40 block diagram. Reducing the Zoom signal strength should be a good way to go.

One terminology point though, per said diagram, the R40 doesn't MUX, or multiplex, the two signals. It simply adds them together. There's nothing in the R40 to select either one of the signals and exclude the other, else you might could compare tones that way.

Thanks for clarifying I was thinking it's more complex than simple addition, but also makes more sense and to why I may see this changed tone.

Thomann has gotten a LOT of my money.

The thing is they did not Bearly hit the free shipping threshold with a recorder, a footswitch for the r100 and an uke gigbag!

Sweet! Does it ship with a recorder?

Only if You order one Been a gift to two children, wanted a nice sounding 2nd instrument for them.

I searched, but can't seem to find a club for those of us who use and love the Fender Rumble series of amps. Any interest?

I've been playing at home with my Rumble 30 since late January and it seems to me like this amp puts out a good share for being so small! Originally I was looking at the Rumble 15 but went with the 30 because of the extra input jack, more wattage, and I read online reviews which said the 30 would be good enough to play with a band in a small venue even versus the 15 which didn't have as much bang.

Hope to hear form some fellow Rumble fans soon!

So this makes me the founding member, #1? I feel this is a big honor for someone so new on the forum!

Woo hoo! That was March 25, 2013 ... ... ...

Happy 10th Anniversary, Fender Rumble Club!
​

Why, that's like a Centennial in innerweb years! And "they" said it wouldn't last! (Surely, Shirley, somebody musta said that.)

From the not-so-humble beginning of the all-tube 7ender Custom Shop Rumble head and cabs, to the ever-so-humble Rumble V1 line of practice amps [and pulsing lights!], then to the expanded practice-to-pro Rumble V2 line, and now to the do-it-all practice-to-pro-to-modeling Rumble V3 line!!! They have Rumbled a long way! And so have we in their appreciation!!

Congratulations on a Great 10 Years!

Now, we begin to Rumble On! to another 10, ... and beyond!

Think I'll take the 200c for tomorrow night's gig(one of our larger rooms). It hasn't been 'out' for awhile and I'm pretty sure I can handle the 25 pound difference between it and the R100(12.5 lbs. each way).

Thank you, John, I fixed it for you.

But it's really you ... and all the members here at the 7ender Rumble Club over the years, with your participation that have made this virtual place what it is. A great place to discuss, share and have fun! I am humbly honored to be your current temporary assistant to Mr. @Gravedigger Dav, who took over from Mr. @Linnin, who took over from our founding ... uh, ... mother(?) Ms. @BumbleB. All of us being just facilitators in service to the interests of the membership. Thank you, all.

Hey all

Threw some casters on my Rumble 500c a couple days ago. I forgot to take photos, but the process was identical to this. All the way down to the exact same casters.
I would issue a caution to anyone else: Be mindful of the cotton (or whatever) insulation in the cab. My drill bit snagged it and twisted it up. I had to remove the bottom speaker and address it. In the end everything turned out great.

It is all yours, sir. I leave it in your more than capable hands. The Wiki you have added has made a big difference in this forum. Thank you for your tremendous work!

Hi, goody! @thegoodness, you are now member #1602 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome to TalkBass in general and to The Club in particular. Please put that number in your TalkBass Signature for safe keeping. Then make yourself at home here and on your Rumble Club Wiki page, the repository of all Rumbling wisdom and knowledge.

Please tell us a bit about yourself, goody, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular. You'll fit right in here since we have all kinds. But we all love to ... ... ...

Rumble On!

[Timothy Brosnan]

I got rid of my Rumble 500C last year, so for now I only have my Rumble 100.

However…………..

My NEW Rumble 800C is on order, due in April 3rd!!

Look for pictures after its arrival!

 

[G-Dog]

My Rumbling brothers and sisters, I've been asked by the venerable @Gravedigger Dav to grant him respite in the duties of issuing club numbers while he recovers from a non-serious illness. So, herewith begins my reign as Temporary Rumble Club Membership Number Issuer. Uh, ... but, the numbers are permanent!

Welcome, @cooks33, you are member #1105 in the Fender Rumble Club. Very nice rig, there.
.
Well, it's about time, @evlwevl, that you are finally member #1106 in the Fender Rumble Club. We look forward to catching up with you.
.
Congratulations, @ak56, you are member #1107 in the Fender Rumble Club. Good choice of the 500 combo!

Thus is my mighty luminescence shone upon the worthy! Yet, if I be blinded by the light, and have overlooked any unacknowledged Rumblers seeking to be counted amongst this valiant volume of bassists here lauded, let them come forth and be recognized and so anointed. That is, ... if I missed you just lemme know and I'll get you fixed up.

And to all and sundry, . . .

Rumble On!

Avast, and Anon! Thus spake ZaraGravedigger! And, behold! I am made anew and without blemish, ... ... well, ... maybe more like reliced NOS. Anyway, gratitudinous felicitations fill me to overflowing.

You're all witnesses to my promotion! After free interning for the past 3-½ years I expect that I will now receive The Club salary thus vacated by Dav, hopefully with appropriate COLA for these more inflationary times. I dunno how much that is, exactly but, hopefully, it's enough to where I might afford a tasty morsel, or such, almost every fortnite, or two, going forward.

Rest assured, dear members, I won't let this exhausted position go to my head. I'll still be the same reproachable sage you've come to know and disdain. I'll still be ready with a quick "I dunno" to all your questions. And I'll still try to notice and remember to smite new members with a Rumble number if ... ... if, that is, ... I can remember ... ... remem... ... umm, ... zzZzzz zzz ... ... ...
