Yes! We finally have official Fender info: Invalid Link Removed
The single owner's manual is under the Rumble Studio 40 info.
Man, I wish the 40 had a direct out other than the 1/8" headphone jack. It makes me yearn for the 800 for sure. But the 500 is so good already! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
I thought someone earlier on here said the stage 40 didn't have line outs.
I can see here it does. Very cool.

The stage appears to have the flimsy usb mini. I suppose the wifi means you don't need it much but these mini jacks are so fragile.
At least it has a real AC cord.

Hmm, a "Stage 40", eh?
I've read of the Stage 800 with 800 watts, two 10-inch speakers and an external speaker jack.
And I've read of the Studio 40 with 40 watts, one 10-inch speaker and no external speaker jack.
Would the "Stage 40" have 40 watts, one 10-inch speaker and an external speaker jack that switches to 800 watts with an external 4 ohm speaker? Now that would be a great little pocket rocket!! The weight of a 40 with the power of the 800 ! What a winner!?
Ack ! Another "Stage 40" reference! Oh, well . . .
How about a less ambiguous abbreviation, like St40, or simply S40, vs the "plain" 40?
No problem with the 800, there is only one, "The Stage”.
Photo shows my rigs: my 12" combo, and pair of 115s stacked below my GK MB500 amp. I had a chance to try out the 12" combo for practice in the church last night. I am quite impressed by the light weight at 22#, and the good sound quality; especially liked the vintage effect. One has to respect that this is only a 12 inch speaker, but for practice, and a small gig without a drummer it could certainly suffice. Much has been written about the line out, and I tried it last night. I was extremely happy with the sound quality, and in fact, I preferred it to the sound from my sansamp paradriver DI (either clean or with overdrive). Turning up the volume on the amp made only very small changes-barely perceptible-in the output through the PA. So it is definitely a keeper.

I'm really gassing for a Studio 800
Yeah! An 80 watt version with an 8 inch speaker and no external speaker jack!!I'm really gassing for a Studio 800
I gigged with my 100c for the first time at a small bar a few weeks back. With a drummer and no p.a. support, it did remarkably well.

Oh. I see my mistake now but Fender is the culprit. Is it a Rumble? Is it a v4? Now we have to ask s it a stage or studio? It's too much. That's on Fender.
That's good to know. I suspect you must have band mates that play at reasonable volumes.
Lotsa love here for quiet drummers!That's good to know. I suspect you must have band mates that play at reasonable volumes.
Yep, you got a point there, @Scatabrain. Well, it's def a Rumble, says so right on it. But, yeah, it could be a v4! "40v3 vs 40v4" makes sense to me. Hey, nothing says versions can't coexist in current production.
That initial sound in the demo is pretty fabulous:
BTW, if you hadn't noticed, Linnin is out of purgatory now, but hasn't posted yet.
