Fender Rumble Club

[GonePlaid]

Ate you mad? Then the logos would be 90 degrees adrift!! Nooooooo!

I'd have to buy the matching 210 cab. Just for harmony and good geometry in all things. Luckily I've not yet needed more than the combo alone can provide.

You can carefully measure and put matching cups for the feet on the combo onto the cab. It'd look "factory". There's always a way.

I like 15. That's three times five, you know. [said in my best Ringo Starr voice]

The Fender Rumble Club is an anomaly. 99.9% of us rave about our gear.

Well yeah! You likely remember my measuring of all kinds of stuff with my Rumble 500. There was all manner of input after, disbelief, interest, hostility, agreement. I was accused as a troll even. It was a lot of fun for me and I had great belief in it as a product.

Those in love with their gear will likely support it tooth and nail. Is negativity taken with suspicion, is there bias? Good question.

Otherwise, my Rumble 500 experience (two units) has not been so fortunate. I must be within the 0.1% where it hasn't come up to scratch. I'm no longer a Rumble owner.

Possibly, but I make the same case regardless of brand or whether I own it or not. Failure rates are fairly uniform across all brands, I'm guessing.

My impression is the Rumble v3 (when i jumped in) is at a high level of reliability. The scratchy pots is pervasive but completely harmless. These things really hold up.

Problems with individual units are going to happen. It doesn't concern me.

I own a Rumble 40, 100 and 500, and they all have proven to be very stable and reliable over the last 4-5 years.
You have to appreciate their respective size and respect what they are designed and intened to do. If you do this, you'll have good results. It's pretty simple, find the right model for your playing application and don't expect more than it is designed to deliver.

That is a very poor guess. There are several very well known brands with extremely high rates of failure approaching that of Russian Roulette.

About the only negative for me. That and the crappy plastic logo. I have a metal blackface badge on order.

Name one.

Like TC.. the worst product support on the planet.

 

[Linnin]

Name one.

That is considered 'brand bashing', and no matter how true it may be is frowned upon mightily.

No experience with them but try to get something from a certain foreign manufacturer whose name starts w/ "B" fixed. Better to use the item as the start of an artificial reef

 

[Gravedigger Dav]

That would be a problem. The mods disapprove of any brand bashing.

You do seem to see a disproportionate number of complaints about brand B, until you find that B actually produces more audio equipment than every other manufacturer put together. Then it makes more sense.

On a personal note, I own a variety of equipment from B and have had no problems with it. So far.

I had a mixer that was NFG I ordered from an online company. The company made good on it and "stuff" does happen but I've known a couple of people who got No CS at all. Doesn't mean I won't try something else but I'm somewhat reluctant.

I get that but letting others know of Ongoing problems might save someone from making a mistake. I'd read that that company's speakers would not fit my needs so I went in a different direction, rather than buying, trying, not liking and sending back- at My expense. Wound up with Rumbles so what the hey.

Just an after thought..

Can someone have a word with Fender and tell them to stop fitting the power IEC
socket upside down..

No good if you use right-angle connectors ..

I noticed that... why..??

 

[Tulsa Teddy]

I hope you didn't order 2 'cause we all know 2 Rongs don't make a....................never mind.

I love a good pun but I'm shaking my head on this one.
