Finally got a new amp!

Sign in to disble this ad
It's cheap and used, like those women you see on the corner but the price was right and I needed it. I got a 15wt Fender Rumble for $50. I actually quite like the sound and am planning on getting a more powerful one down the line. Does anyone have any experience with the 100 or 150 watt ones?

I like the 100 watt rumble.. Though I'm a snob when it comes to Fender amps but the Rumble 100 does sounds good IMO..

Maybe its the red lights on the port that made it sound good!

Here's the amp. I just watched a demo of the 100 watt on Youtube. I love it. Well ****.. I guess I'm a Fender person afterall.

Man, I played on a Rumble 100 one time at a band practice (it was there for me) and I hated it. FWIW I'm a diehard tube guy. But if you like the way it sounds, then go for it!

It didn't. Not for me. My daughter's dad started being a jerkface about when I could and couldn't have my kid and the peeps in the band kinda flaked out.. so yah. Never went.
Starting things fresh with a good friend of mine who plays guitar and we're auditioning drummers and vocalists atm. I know I can't really jam out with a drummer with this amp, but it's better than nothing. If not just for practice. ^_^

I just like how distorted it sounds. Very dark and sorta groovy. In my opinion, of course. I was quite surprised when I played it.

You're going to need more juice to play with a drummer, etc., so keep your eye out on craigslist for some Peaveys and bigger Fenders, etc.
That 15w is good for practice, but really won't serve you in a jam situation.
On the plus side, I've played a few Fender amps and they sounded o.k. to me.
Good luck and have fun.

I have played through and am frequently at practices where the Fender 100 Rumble is played. It has a good sound. Pretty powerful and easily transportable.

Noice! I used to have a Rumble 60 (60 watt, 112 combo) and it was schweet. Glad to hear you're back in the game .

I got a rumble 30. I picked it up for small jams and practice at home with headphones. For a solid state amp, it does have a pretty good tone. It's all mids that make it that way. The "bass" is low mids, then mids and "treble" is really just high mids.

They're cool, little amps. I was surprised.
