Fender Rumble 100 owners survey

I have one. Used for practice and the occasional gig. I’ve had it for 4 years now and it’s held up well.
Why aren't you using your Rumbles? What are you liking better and why?Over the years I have bought two of each of these Rumbles : 100/200/500 . I don't use them now , but I saw the limited edition white model and I think I might buy another 500 model .
I use one at practice, the second one I bought to use with my Gibson J45. It sounds better than any actual acoustic guitar amp I tried.
I have the 500 combo & extension 2x10 (if needed) for live shows.

A few years back I was playing weekly at a friend's recording studio, which happened to be in an old inner city factory converted to lofts On The Top Floor (3rd floor) and there was no working elevator. One Rumble wasn't sufficient vs what I'm used to, but two chained is pretty good. Obviously they were light weight and if the place got trashed by weather or theft, no big loss $ wise. (I also got a Sterling SUB 5 st for 300. to leave there, now with LTflats) Now the Rumbles are an amp for keyboards or modular synthesizer and for that it's (they are) fantastic.
Mine is primarily used at home for practice. But I do use it at duo gigs and small venues. Works great for that.

I bought one when i had a more practical car, it does not fit in my current car's trunk so it now lives in the garage of my guitar-playing jamming buddy. Wonderful solution! It can keep up with a too-loud guitar amp, sounds plenty good for the use case, and everything bass related I need fits in a gig bag and thus my sports car. If i ever need to play somewhere else i can borrow my wife's suv or take the mesa subway d350+trace elliot 2x8 elf (cab selected based on trunk opening size constraints lol)
What car? I wasn’t playing bass when I had a Miata but my 12” combo fit in the trunk/boot. The guitar rode in the passenger seat. I don’t think a Rumble 100 would have fit. Maybe in the seat? Then strap the guitar down across the body behind the headrests. Not sure how.
I used to strap my 80lb 2x12 amp to my motorcycle’s luggage rack/sissy bar and guitar in soft case to the front of the sissy bar. Handled like a drunken pig but it worked.
Subaru BRZ, the amp would fit fine in trunk, but the opening is marginally too small - no complaints overall, was a great excuse to buy the trace Elliot 2x8 and mesa head and now my laziness is easier
I have only one. All of our shows have PA support, so I never need an amp to project to the house. The Rumble sits behind me as a DI and stage monitor so I can ensure I always can hear what I'm playing.
2 stacked sounds pretty cool, tho.

I started using GR Bass amps and cabs for two years and then went to Barefaced cabs .......better sounding cabs and no "farting out" .
We haven't had PA support/FOH/sound "men" since 2015. My 100 is enuff for the rooms we play(ed). I sometimes take/took the 200c so it didn't 'feel forgotten'.
Forgive my ignorance. How do you chain them. Thank you.I own two brand new Rumble 100's (V3). For the most part I'll use only one if I'm practicing/playing a relatively quiet rehearsal/gig, but I do chain them together to make essentially a 200 watt 212.
An instrument or patch cable from the FX send jack of amp 1 into the FX return jack of amp 2. Amp 1 is the amp your instrument is plugged into.
Just got my first Rumble 100 yesterday. A clear upgrade over my Rumble 25.
Using it solely as a practice amp at home, where I practice 2-3 hours per day. Very pleased with it.
