Not me. All my Rumbles are dead quite. Your vintage Fender 2x15 cabinet as good as it is, is a far cry from anything that would be called 'full range' in this day and age. Is it loaded with JBL D130F's? Loved those cabinets.

My guess would be that, back in the day, the Dual Showman's would know how to produce White Rabbit but, in today's digital world, it may be interpreted as White Noise. Again, that's just my guess...

Hi Linnin,
Of course it's not fullrange meant in a technical way. But the 130 or 140s have an unbelievable high range frequency wise. Maybe because these speakers were designed to fit the needs of guitarist's as well.
Like I said before, my all original showman head, all tube 48 years old and professional maintained is producing less hf noise floor than my v3 500 top ? On the other hand, di-out, headphone-out are dead quite as well
No problem with my v3 410. But as I sometimes like to record and rehearse at home with the old jbl 130s loaded cab ( especially P's ) it's kind of annoying.
Best regards from Munich/ Bavaria
Oh that's not funny (yes it is)My guess would be that, back in the day, the Dual Showman's would know how to produce White Rabbit but, in today's digital world, it may be interpreted as White Noise. Again, that's just my guess...
Anyway @Flipmuc is from Germany and he struggles with English. Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club @Flipmuc. It is a shame you are experiencing trouble.
Try this: With nothing plugged in, no bass and not even a speaker cabinet. Plug in your headphones only. Put all your controls at 12 o'clock (high noon), yes even your gain and master volume along with all EQ controls. All voicings OFF. Overdrive OFF. Do you hear hiss in your headphones? If yes, how much? A little would be normal operational noise. A lot would mean your amp needs repair. Lets start there.
OK, now we are getting somewhere. Hiss can now be coming from two places, and usually it is the speaker cable. It is very unlikely to be the ICE Power amp, but if it is not the cable that's your culprit. I would also expect there to be a lot of RFI (radio frequency interference) in large cities.

You got beer...that's all that counts and, your English is a lot better than Lin....never mind!

@SoulReflection is making a bad joke about Jefferson Airplane's song 'White Rabbit' about LSD. Released June of 1967, 'The Summer of Love' in Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco.
Your English is not lousy...I didn't even know you were from Germany!
Grace Slick, back then, sang "White Rabbit", a song about what some psychedelic drug users saw.
My joke (and it was meant to be a joke) was a connection between white noise and her White Rabbit, given the difference between analogue then and digital now.
Again, your English is great...
You (@SoulReflection) are a political spin doctor by trade aren't you?
I use the same speaker cable
And no, RFI sounds different from my experience, as well as the old showman should be more prone to that.
Still curious about the white rabbit white noise ? Some american slang ?
O.k late night over here....
Thanks for your help
I'm liking the sound out of the 500 head and 2 210s, whatever floats your boat but I LOVE the tight bass sound from the 210s. However if you guys keep pushing this 112 or 115 idea I may succumb to GAS. Don't do this to me!
Sorry, new to all of this. Has anyone used or have opinions about using a 210 extension cab with a Rumble 200?
You (@SoulReflection) are a political spin doctor by trade aren't you?
I know you used it in a sentence, but, could I have a definition? Please...
"a spokesperson employed to give a favorable interpretation of events to the media, especially on behalf of a political party."
It will work just fine! Every bit as good as the Rumble 500 combo on top of a Rumble 115 cabinet, only it will match up dimensionally as the Rumble 210 is the same size as the Rumble 200 & 500 combos.
Such a coveted valuable prize is still awaiting the Rumble guru who can win it. Please, only one entry per person.
(Hint: Go back to the historical beginning of the Rumble amps as shown on the Fender Rumble Club Wiki.)

Nope, I looked it up on google. If you can't trust them, who can you trust?
Not political, I have no party leanings.
Too old to spin (rock, yes...spin, no).
Doctor...nope, barely made it through high school.
So, to answer your question, I am a non-political, unspinned and an un-doctored person
