Fender Rumble Club

#22,781
I am not a stranger to the rumble series - for home practice, I have the 100w, version 2 I guess you would call it (the one with the cringe worthy red light that thank goodness can be turned off).

However, I've heard so much fantastic feedback about the V3 series not to mention the ultra light weight involved, I had to go check them out & see what the V3 series is all about. I walked into a local GC today and this walked out with me. The tone & the power are both amazing! Can't wait to take it to rehearsal & out to gigs! :thumbsup:

Congrats! You will love the 200c, I know I love mine. Now you need the matching 115 cab to go with it! ;)

Kinda messed up if GC is still selling them with the five year warranty tags... What the heck!?

I would be lying if I said I haven't already thought of doing exactly that. :D. But this thing has more than enough volume for the moment - should the need arise when I start getting it out & about, I definitely won't hesitate!

Pulled it fresh out of the brand new, stapled shut Fender box just this afternoon - so I'm thinking it came straight from Fender this way.

Is Fender not honoring the 5-year warranty? I'm not sure (been away from the Rumble series for a while and don't know the deal on the V3 warranty).

So I stopped by the music store on the way to practice to pick up a new cable for my guitarist. Walked around like ya do haha, and surprisingly there sat a rumble 210 cab! He usually just carries Peavey amps. And no other rumbles were there. Just this one...could have been a trade in? Used? I don’t know. But it looked brand new and had fender signage and a new price. I figured “why not?” So I walked out with it. Set up at practice and the extra cab just sounded amazing!

And I played with my tone some more too. I usually take mids completely out when playing at bedroom levels. Always liked the sound, but having not played much in a loud band setting, I just assumed mids were needed to be heard so I’ve been keeping them up. Having the extra power now, I figured I’d give it a shot. So I turned lo and hi mids all the way down. Kept bass and treble at noon. Gain all the way down with master around noon. And I retried the vintage and overdrive buttons. Both on, drive all the way down, with level at unity. Just a killer sound!

Between the volume and tone on my Squier pj, I was able to barely roll off volume and have a super warm, full, clean tone. Volume up and digging in and there was just a tad bit of bite. Still round and warm tho. I didn’t wanna stop playing!

Just wanted to share my newest addition. And my excitement for finding a tone I’m really happy with.

That would be version 1. Made from 2003-2009. Replaced by V2 Rumble 150 2010-2013. Replaced by the V3 Rumble 200 2014-Present. I love my Rumble 200. :thumbsup: Welcome to the club. :cool: Rumble On! :cool:

I believe it's a two year, non-transferable warranty if purchased after January 1, 2017

In Australia it is a 2 Year Limited Warranty.
This taken from the Warranty PDF for Australia...
"Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
NOTE: This warranty applies only to Fender/Squier amplifer products sold by an Authorized Fender/Squier Dealer after January 1, 2017."
