Fender Rumble Club

Never heard of or seen a V1 Rumble 100 2x10. They any good?

I own it from 2007 till 2009 before I get the Marshall MB450h + MBC410.
Overall tone is nothing special, just flat-clean sounding and lack bottom. Scoop button help a bit. The carzy hiss tweeter is crap so I disconnect it on first day I bought it.
l replace both driver with Eminence Beta-10A after few months .Tone become full and meaty.

Beside the V1 100/210, I also own V2 75/112 (with eminence beta 12A2) and v3 200/150.
If you don't want spend money for modified,just forget both earlier version, the best stock tone go with V3(stock china made eminence driver).

Can I join? Just bought a Rumble V3 500... had one a while back and stupidly sold it. Difficult to find such a great marriage of tone and portability, so very pleased to be a proud owner again.

Awesome!

Awesome!

Thanks. Something very pleasing about a Rumble, a 54-type P and a set of La Bellas. Sweet!

Used my 500 head last night on a modern country/blues gig last night with my Revsound 212. Definitely a woolier tone than my GK MB-500, but some nice tone. Twas a good evening.

I am trying to find out what a woolly (woolier) tone is. Anyone have a definition?

I have GK mb combo, so I get what he means. Warmer, thicker, punchy lower mids, with a bit of an edge to the tone. The GK has a drier, crisper tone, the Rumble more open and warmer

Thanks for that. Couldn't one adjust the EQ on the Rumble to match the GK?

I’ll be putting my 1958 Gibson lapsteel through my Rumble on Monday morning. Should be wicked awesome.

Advice welcome.

. Yup. Think of a bell, versus a bell wrapped in... wool.

OK, I got it...its a bell "mute" .

That's what the contour voicing is for. Super scoop the mids=instant GK tone. Also back off both the low and high mids to about 9 o'clock. I do this a lot. Leave bass and treble at noon with zero boost/cut. By severely reducing the entire midrange you give the illusion of elevating the lows and highs. Use a lot of power/volume. That was the magic of the famous GK 400RB + 215 cab. Piece of cake.

Sorry.

No, problem...I like warm and fuzzy but, I am not a sheep person .

I've messed with the equipment, but it's not the same. If it were that simple, there would be no reason to use a different head.

Wool is good. It is the only natural fiber that continues to insulate when soaking wet. This is why sailors wear wool hats; sweaters, and socks.

Live with it a few years. You'll learn.

Agreed...and that's why I use it to insulate my computer from the internet .
