    Using a Fender Rumble 200 combo as cab only?

    It sounds like you're looking for something that can be used as both a combo and a speaker cab. I converted my rumble 200 into just a cabinet after the amp died on me. I just pulled the amp out, cut the plastic connector off the speaker wires and soldered a 1/4" to the wires connected to the...

    Same Power - More Speakers

    I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseam on TB, but I am struggling to find any threads that address my specific question. I've read that if you need more volume, additional cabinets is normally a better solution than replacing your amp with a more powerful one. I feel that the implication...

    I was told the power module needs to be replaced. I'm imagine this is related to the power amp or a component supplying power to the rest of the components, so I am assuming it is not a preamp issue. I'll try running from the FX send of my guitar head into the FX return of the rumble first to...

    Fender Rumble Club

    I posted about a month ago about my Rumble 200 cutting in and out. I finally heard back from the repair shop, and their quote was about the same as what these are going for used... I asked them if they could wire it as a speaker cab to use with an external head, and I should be hearing back from...

    I've never used a DI and an amp at the same time, so I may have a misunderstanding how this works... But it sounds like Paolo has a DI between his bass and his amp. Shouldn't he only be hearing the pop of unplugging through his amp and not the PA? I do think muting with the OD switch would stop...

    A. No I bought it 5-6 years ago. 2. I originally thought this could go to any fender dealer, but then I found Fender's list of authorized service centers. The shop that told me they would not be able to receive rumble parts from fender is an authorized service center. iii. I'll be reaching...

    Fender Rumble 200 (solid state amp) repair?

    I am also having an issue with my Rumble 200, and it seems like you're the person to ask. My sound is randomly and abruptly cutting in and out with time ranges of 1 second to 2 minutes of sound or silence. (I have a few posts from Sunday on the rumble club thread if you're interested in more...

    Hey everyone, thanks for all the troubleshooting tips from Sunday! Unfortunately, the amp is still having the same issue. I just spoke with my nearest authorized fender repair center. They fender does not produce any components for the rumble series, so they would only be able to make repairs at...

    I haven't noticed any difference with the power switch, and the red light stays on when the sound cuts out. Plenty of fender dealers around me, so I'll take it in to somebody this week if I can't figure out the problem at home!

    Yep, I originally started playing this morning by plugging straight into the amp. I only added the compressor to the chain after I started troubleshooting. I also earlier said the issue was only happening with the bass, but I've done more troubleshooting with my guitar and the issue continues...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Is it possible the amp would overheat within 1-2 minutes of bedroom levels? (Gain and master at 9 o'clock) The back of the amp was almost touching the wall, but I couldn't hear the fan moving which I typically can after running at full band levels for a while. I have moved it away from the wall...

    Fender Rumble Club

    Edit: I just plugged a guitar into it instead of my bass and I am not having the problem. My compressor shows consistent signal coming from both instruments. Is it possible a weak signal from the bass that is never dropping to 0 is causing the sound to cut in and out? Hey y'all, I started...
