Congrats on the grand chillun'! I also wish these had been out last July when I bought my 500 combo.
I'm a transplanted southern boy I'm always polite as long as possible lol
Awesome. And I was teasing. I'm from Georgia. Where you from? And welcome!
So i’ve been trying my Rumble with various cabs I have. This is by far my favorite combo.
And I ran it through a Broughton pedal I own for some tube warmth - wow, just wow.
And here’s my pedalboard, with the Aguilar TLC, Grizzly Bear and Broughton HP/LP engaged. More wow!
I tried all of my basses through this combination, and everything sounded really good. The two 210 cab combination just sounds so good.
Fender just crushed it with the Rumble 500c. Very happy with mine, as you can tell.

Any of our Studio 40 or Stage 800 owners using the Bluetooth feature? Is it "receive only", or can you broadcast to Bluetooth headphones? Or can phone/tablet broadcast to both the amp and Bluetooth headphones?
How about the Wi-Fi facility? Is it "receive only"? Again, any use for wireless headphones or receiving with either phone or tablet?
Asking for a friend.

Stopped by my local music store, and noticed they already had the Studio 40 and Stage 800 on the showroom floor. Didn’t get the chance to try them out, but they looked really good. 
My Rumble 100.
She's a purty thing. And LOUD !

so, since that PF cab has the same configuration as the Rumble 210 cab and you've mentioned trying various cab with your 500c, have you ever compared that current setup of yours (500c+PF210HE) with 500c+Rumble 210 cab?
Id like a number just bought a new rumble stage 800 . what a smoking amp it is.
So it was gig time with the new stage 800 combo and 210 rumble cab yesterday. First impressions in gig mode:
Perfect height with combo on the cab for you to hear yourself without being too loud, very nice.
I recommend to match your sound levels between presets at reharsal/gig volume. I did it at home in my apartment at low volume and that is not useful.When in gigging mode my adjustments at home was a whole another story with mismatch regarding volume between presets finding myself twiddling with the volume knobs on my bass a lot.
Footswitch: A beast to handle if you are new too that kind of solution. I'm used to my four EBS-pedals and its simply on or off and there you go. With the Fender footswitch you have to be very careful how and where you step. I tried to switch between presets and banks...and with 10-20 seconds between songs I was not very successful. I accidentally step on tuner mode when trying to switch bank and QA mode and effects and looper mode when trying to switch presets. Very frustrating so I gave up and used the encoder knob on the amp instead, resulting in sever feedback when turning around to adjust it and my bass came in front of the speakers. Have a lot footswitch practice to do here.
I'm very pleased with the setup and sound though, great combo/cab for the price paid and easy to haul.

Pretty much sums up my experiences using multi-fx pedals etc... and I thought it might be so with this amp and it's fx too.
You're right about the setting up at gig/rehearsal levels/scenario ... altho every gig is different and I've found this difficult . But, hopefully it'll work for you.
Glad you enjoyed the amp tho

Nope. I don’t own a Rumble 210 cab. Nobody local stocks them, either. Plus the Ampeg cab sounded great.
