1. I have met such awesome people here and Dave, you are super awesome. (As are many others, too numerous to name in one post) 2. Note to self: Proof-read for grammatical errors before posting. LOL 3. Great point considering the circumstances surrounding each players needs and the parameters that matter most frequently 4. What works for "me" is not necessarily best for anyone else.

I can add different amounts (or none) of reverb, chorus and delay to each channel.

Yes! Just figured this out myself after reading Cuki's post.

I just got done with some side by side testing of the JBL vs. my S1 using a Martin OMC Aura. Tried it with Aura on and off.
The S1 has a sound that I just love, especially with a piezo. I prefer the tonematch off frankly for guitar and mic. I'm happy to report that while it sounds different, I really like the JBL Compact. All of my acoustic/electrics have active preamps and there's enough gain in the line channel to clip the output of the JBL, so that issue finally seems to have been resolved. I set the global eq for Performance after testing all the global choices. I was able to get enough eq from the onboard bass and treble controls for my liking. The app allows for more control which is just a bonus in my book. And while Performance EQ makes the bluetooth output lower (from a prior test), it does seem to make the output louder with the guitar. I really like the effects on the JBL and now that I know how to put any combination on any channel, I'm very happy with that. Low end is an interesting thing on these units. The Bose has a LOT of bass in my view. Unless I'm the right room, I have to reduce it. Even in tilt back mode. I compared 3 of the 4 S1 bass positions to the JBL and the S1 can get too bassy and become mushy. The JBL can provide a tighter and clearer bass punch to my ear. I probably should try another guitar on it to be sure, but I think that's a fair assessment. I do think I can get the JBL louder than the S1. Battery life on the JBL seems to be pretty outstanding. I haven't had the need to recharge it yet and haven't kept track of the hours, but I give it a big thumbs up. At the end of the day, I'll keep them both (well, all 3 since I have two S1s). But I can recommend the JBL. Cuki: Please put me in the plus column. |

I can adjust the amount of send to the FX line and I can adjust the amount of each FX (chorus, reverb, delay) on the FX line. But I can't have Reverb+Chorus on channel 1 and ONLY Reverb on channel 2. Because Chorus has only one knob

UPDATED reviews:
CON: No one UNDECIDED: Wweiss : Battery draining problem? PRO: AaroUSA (QSC K8.2 & Bose S1 user): better tone than Bose, loud enough for the use. Guitargabor (Bose S1 user, ex-AER user): Tone is more pleasing than Bose. Loud enough for the use. Bonedigger (Fishman Mini Charge user): likes the tone, functionality, form factor, and EQ adjustability. SpruceTop (Baggs Synapse user): Happy with tone and power. Cuki79 (SR JAM150+ & Laney AH4x4 user): I confirm the honkyness. So far, I am sold with the EQ and am ready to compromise with the intrinsic tone. MartinGitDave: thinks that JBL sounds better than the Bose S1, loud enough. Like ther everb better than the bose. DavidE (Bose S1 user): Happy with the tone, FX, loudness and battery life. still love the Bose S1 and will keep both. DID NOT MATCH HIS/HER APPLICATION: StephenT (Schertler JAM400 user, QSC CP8 new user, likes Bose S1): Upper midrange bump. Not flat enough voicing, weak output. Happy to find the QSC CP8 instead. Please tell me if I misinterpreted your toughts.

I too have the Bose S1 and love it, trying to decide about the JBL Compact If you have two Bose S1's under what circumstances would you leave the Bose at home and take the JBL. I know they have different tones and the JBL has superior EQ, but the Bose is just so good why would you need three speakers? |

By the way, I'm not sure what the "Return Level" dial does.

Each effect block (click on reverb, then click on delay, then click on chorus) has it's own mix level for each channel.

I don't "need" half the gear I own. LOL. I got a ridiculous deal on the JBL so it was worth adding to my arsenal. Since I can get the JBL louder than the S1, I will be taking it with me to Florida when I drive down to our townhouse to use on its own. |

I did a quick measurement of the JBL eon one compact Master EQ presets (Flat, Speech, Music, Perform)
Indeed MartinGitDave and DavidE are right, there is a 3.5 dB boost in "Perform mode".

So does Perform cut Bluetooth gain?
