I want a grungy attacky tone on my practice amp, something like the queens of stone age sound or the tone that dustin gets in the "Fender 2014 Rumble Bass Amps" video. I dont know if that tone is achievable in the fender 25 as it does not have level adjustment of the overdrive. Will i be better off pairing a fender 15 with a bass overdrive pedal or does the 25 generate the same tone as its bigger siblings?.......any suggestions for a good overdrive pedal is also welcome. Also how does it stack up with an acoustic b15 which has overdrive level controls?

OK! Welcome to the Fender Forums shivku93. Great first post and question. So Dustin Plumb (sadly no longer at FMIC) is featured twice. First is at about 1:07 and it shows him playing a Fender Dimension HH IV through a Rumble 200 combo. The video shows his tone and overdrive settings. In his second appearence at about 2:16 he is playing that same Dimension through a Rumble 25 for "edgy mids".



If you want the first tone you might be able to squeez it out of a Rumble 40 as it enjoys the same front end and overdrive as the 200. The Rumbles 40 through 500 all share the very same frontend, so tonality is very simular.

Among the Rumbles I own is the new Rumble 25. It is far better than one might expect for $100. However I think you would be better served with at least the Rumble 40 for $200. The Rumble Overdrive is excellent and easily out performs most $100 dirtboxes.
