RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; necessary to get true Dual Rectifier saturation into a bass amp
The Fender Rumble 40 is a bass amp with a 4-band EQ (Low-Mid and High-Mid) and no presence/reverb controls; set Low-Mid to 5 and High-Mid to 7 to compensate for the missing guitar speaker top-end. Engage the onboard Overdrive circuit with gain pushed to 8 so you can play the heavy riff today, but keep bass rolled back to 4 to prevent the 10-inch bass cone from muddying up. Adding an external high-gain distortion pedal like a Rat into the clean input will bridge the gap to Dave Grohl's Dual Rectifier crunch. Clean drop-D intro: disengage the Overdrive switch and roll guitar volume to 7.
