The Acoustic Club

Yes must be!
StingRay85 Have you cranked it?

Not yet. The house shakes too much when I go past 2. The stadium size stack is back to the garage, awaiting completion of my music room. Installed my living room setup again

The 220 used a 1-button footswitch terminated in a 1/4" Tip/Ring/Sleeve plug for switching the graphic EQ in and out. A 2-button footswitch terminated in a 1/4" Tip/Ring/Sleeve plug and labeled for reverb and master volume would probably have been for a 450. One of its two buttons should work to switch the 220's EQ.

Indeed, the right button switches the EQ of the 220. It belonged to a 3rd gen guitar combo, one of the lower powered versions without EQ.

Still need to check if it's compatible with my 270
 
That's great because in the fuzz mode it even distorts with the level knob all the way down.

The fuzz level control is interdependent with the level of the signal coming into the amp head. If you hear fuzz with the intensity knob all the way CCW then the signal coming from your bass or upstream pedals may be a little hot. If it's an active bass plugged directly in then you probably should be going into input #2 to knock it down 6dB or backing off on the volume of the bass.

FWIW, I find that the switch in the reverb position with the intensity knob all the way CCW sounds the cleanest for me.

Any thoughts on what's the best bass match with Acoustic amps? I'm considering to trade my Stingray 5 for a US P bass. I feel like a very active bass and B string is not the perfect bass for the amp.
I play Thunderbirds, a Precision, an EB-2 with a Dimarzio One pickup, and the upright through my 360. All of the above are the perfect match.
 
My stuff is spread out too much :)

I have now 125 head, 125 combo, 127 combo, 1st gen 150 chassis, 150 , 105 cab, 4x 220, 270, 201 with K140s, 402, 406w with E140s, 408, G100T hardwood combo, model 164 chassis. Lol, that's a lot
You have me beat!
360, 360M, 126 combo, 400 power amp, 165 hardwood combo, 811/812 speakers (pair), and a six channel powered PA - I don't remember the model designation. I used to have a 320/408 stack, but it's gone now.
