Fender Rumble Club

I've done quite a bit of reading of this thread- specifically around the 210 and 115 cabs.
Does this ring mostly true to you fellas:
Rumble 115 cab- slightly deeper and crispier voicing.
Rumble 210 cab- slightly thicker through the mids.
My experience is straightforward. The 115 isn't actually deeper, but reproduces those lows with more authority. The 115 also has a broader and more dispersant midrange especially in the low mids.
The 210 goes surprisingly low and has good mids. Its strength is in the high mids and low highs where it excels, and it simply has more top end. (horns off)
Your best bet is to get one of each.
In my view, the term 'crisp' only applies to PA speakers.

Thank you sir!
 
Are the rumbles speakers made by fender or someone else? Doesn’t bother me either way they still sound amazing just wondering they have that fender tone but not sure if they are actually manufactured by fender?

This probs a stupid question but hey, it doesn’t hurt to ask!
Always consult the Fender Rumble Wiki page. It has the information.

Haha! I meant ‘9 o’clock’.

If I ran it that volume at 9am my wife would put me out on the street! But I’d take my 500c combo with me!!
One of the advantages of living by myself. Gear is wherever I wanna put/keep it and, other than noise ordinances, I can play whenever.:smug:
 
After thoroughly A/B all my instruments, I do have to say that my Fender Jazz sounds the best through my Rumble 200. That Fender tone can't be beat! Shocking I know! I guess most would probably say - well duh! o_O:laugh:

So, I decided to do a test recording of my Jazz bass from the DI - the built cab sim is awesome, I'm digging it! My modest little home recording/noodlings are definitely better off because of it, for sure.
