Just order a Stealth from GC! Apparently so popular they are making more!

The only thing I'd add is an Army of Northern Virginia Battle Jack as a grill cloth.

Good Lord! Some of those boxes cost more than your Rumble! Just start a 'recommend me a dirt box' thread in the Effects sub-forum and take cover as all manner of little boxes are thrown at you from across the universe. I'll start.

Get this one! It's a little military green Ruskie! No I've never played through one, but so what, it's green! And Russian! And Big Muff! And Pi! Is cheap like borscht and vodka!
Da Comrade!

Lately, because I have been enjoying my Rumble 25 v3 so much, I've been musing on getting another one, two, or three, and making a relatively inexpensive practice stack. I'd have to build a buffer splitter for the bass signal into the separate amps. Economically, two Rumble 25 amps cost as much as one Rumble 40, but have more power and speaker area, and better dispersion.

Four Rumble 25 amps would cost $400, and give 100 watts. This is comparable to the $300 Rumble 100, but would give twice as much speaker area for the additional $100.

Anyway, just some thoughts. Comments anyone?

What if you want to change EQ settings, use overdrive, or use the aux in? You wouldn't have easy access to the controls of any amp that has another amp on top.

Personally, I would just go with the 100 and enjoy the extra features: drive and gain controls, extra EQ band, effects loop, pedal switch input, line out. You could then run one cable from the 100's effect loop output to the 25's input for some extra power - in case you needed it.

Sneaking around with no number, are we?! :mad:
Well, we can fix that. Welcome Rumbler #846. Pics requested. Rumble on! :hyper:

I have thought about this before and think it would be a fun idea. I would probably get an EQ pedal to go with it to deal with the aforementioned troubles with changing the EQ and volume. I'm not sure that at the price of four 25s that I would personally do this instead of getting a used 500c, but it would be a fun and interesting setup that would look pretty cool. Two of them stacked does seem like a better deal than the 40 if you don't use the other features, and three of them stacked does seem like it would reasonably compare with the 200c without the extension cab... ~110w into a single 15 vs 75w into a vertical stack of 3 10s is an interesting comparison with each having some benefits and drawbacks. One thing to definitely consider is that you would need to deal with having to connect up to four power cords vs. one with a larger combo.

So why is it exactly that the Rumble 200 only outputs 140 watts? Is it that the speaker they provide isn't capable of outputting more and this is done to keep the price down? Does it have nothing to do with the speaker and just the way they designed it? Is it to allow for the additional cab while keeping the power at 200 watts maximum to keep cost low?

I'm guessing with the cabinet added it's splitting it 100 watts per speaker?

My guess would be that the one speaker is 8 ohm.
Plug in the extension speaker and it's parrallel so it gives a 4 ohm load.
Just like on any head. So much power per 8 ohm then max power at 4 ohm (or 2 for some models)

Do you consider the 115 cab a true matching cab to the 200c. Same speaker inside both, but obviously the cabs sizes are different. Does that slight difference in cab size have any effect (even if minimal) on coupling effect?

Excellent Question @73BLow! Yes it is the 'true matching cabinet'. I don't think any small dimensional cabinet differences has any negative influence on the coupling effect since the woofers are identical. Just remember they need to be stacked.

Good to know since I plan on doing that soon. My 200c looks lonely sitting down so low and I happen to like the look of the slightly bigger cab on the bottom. Plus Mo' sparkle!
