Fender Rumble 100, floor or stand/chair

[Bruce Beesley]

I have just bought a Fender Rumble 100 V3 to replace my Rumble 150 V2, how many of you use a stand/chair or do you leave it on the floor. I play in a Country band in small venues so don’t need volume but if I do need more I can DI through the P.A. I used to have the V2 on the floor but the V3 being smaller in dimensions.........your thoughts?

For one thing, on the chair it'll be closer to your ear so you'll probably hear it better.

Got one myself. Stand. Unless you are 2 feet tall or have ears in your knees

Slip on down to the Oasis... no wait, I meant the Fender Rumble Club in Amps & Cabs. about a 1,000 members and everything you ever wanted to know about the Fender Rumble.

There you go. Fixed it for you.

Take your pick. I like the wedge if you want to make it in one trip, or the stand for better HF dispersion.

I just roll up the Fender amp cover and tuck it under the front of the amp. Tilts it up just a little bit, but it's inconspicuous and doesn't involve carrying anything extra to a gig.

Do you place value on inconspicuousness then? You make it sound like you do.

Not too much. I just mean to say I fold it in a way so it doesn't look sloppy like an amp cover is wedged under the thing.

It really depends on the sound you like. I pretty much always prefer to elevate my cabs, but some people prefer the sound of the cab on the floor.

When you elevate a cab you take advantage of boundary effect to create a bit of a notch in the low end. The frequency of the notch is dependent on how far your cab is from the nearest boundary...in this case the boundary is the floor. Here's an article that explains: Speaker Placement 101: Is Speaker-Boundary Interference Killing Your Bass?

So you get cancellation at the frequency where the distance between the speaker and the boundary (floor) is 1/4 wavelength. See attached.
