Welcome Rumbler #738. Check out the Tone Pool. It has a lot of settings there. I use a 500c with a 2x10 extension. My typical settings are Horn off, Vintage on everything else off, bass 10, low mids 12, high mids 12, treble 12, gain 10, master 3 to 4 depending on the room. I play with a 3 piece classic rock group. Enjoy, and Rumble on!

What is the Tone Pool and where do I find it?

Search it up! And while you're at it, search up the Rumble Talks too. You've got a lot of fun reading to do.

Good choice though my favorite Bourbon at the moment, (many more to try ) is Bulliet Bourbon .

I had something similar happen to me yrs ago using a Peavey TNT115 My problem was what they call "dirty power" I was told the electrical outlet I was using the voltage "fluctuated" wildly and possibly poor grounding and not up to code" we practiced in a older building at the time. Not saying that's what happen to you- modern outlets are much more reliable and stable.

Interesting. I was in a factory unit and was using an outlet I don't usually use. Off to the amp shop today.

Question, the Aux in doesn't go to XLR Direct Out right? The diagram makes it look like it does

Whoa! I don't know. You wouldn't normally use an aux in signal with a direct out would you?
The Aux In dumps straight into the power amp post master. XLR out is also post pre-amp and post master. So the answer is try it and see!

Hmm I guess I can pull out a headphone amp and see

The Bullet (or however it's spelled) is really good too. Makers is my current go to though, although I also switch around from time to time just for the sake of variety. With quality bourbon IMO it's ALL good!

Yo, @SpruceApple! The Fender Rumble Club ''TONE POOL'' is a Googledocs spreadsheet of amp settings for various tones. Here's a link:

So I took the 100 back to the shop and booked it in for a repair. A couple of hours later and they ring me and day come and pick up your new amp, Fender won't even bother looking at the old one. Suspicion is that it's a bad batch or a known fault.

So if your Rumble is silent and you've got two flashing red lights then it's dead as a dodo.

For me, it was a Whisky Tuesday, so I had to pass. On the other hand, Thursday is another day!

Are they an "Authorized" repair center?

How old is the amp?

Confirmed, the Aux In is fed to the XLR well crap, I wanted to mix in a monitor mix through aux for a restaurant gig so I didn't have to have a separate monitor and bass rig. My other question is WHY!

You didn't happen by chance to write down the serial#?

Question regarding the Overdrive circuit. I got an on/off switch so I can kick in the OD on my 500 v3 at will. I notice that when I turn it on I get a volume boost and it's noticeably more trebley (is that a word??). That normal? Settings are both Drive and Level knobs at around 11 0'clock-ish. Gain at noon, Master to suit.

Probably for people who perform to backing tracks and like to have it all go through their amp, thus feeding the same "mix" to foh so they maintain control.

Aux is also good for running a separate bass synth through the same amp, or the "wet" output of a bass synth, so you can have a flat unaffected synth tone and have a gritty bass tone, which otherwise would not sound good for the synth component.

Parallel effects loops with blend controls also work great for that, as well as providing an extra input channel with its own volume for jamming with an electronic drummer. That went over great at office parties with my workingman's 10, when that amp blew up was when I ended up getting the rumble. I had to give up that feature, as well as the tuner out, but oh well. My bass350 had the parallel loop/blend as well. Both swrs got stolen, but if I really need it, my other remaining bass head, b600h has that, but the blend knob is on the back.

In all those cases, I'm pretty sure the loop would go out of the xlr provided it was set to post.

What were you wanting to monitor through your rig? Using a rig as a monitor is not a good idea anyway, monitors need to be facing AWAY from the audience, as to have as minimal effect on the FOH sound as possible. Monitoring through your rig, which is usually pointed into the audience, is not really a good idea.
