Fender Rumble Club

??? So, there is no written information on what the default Stage & Studio presets are made up of? Does that point to a need for something like the existing Fender Rumble Club TONE POOL?

If anyone has a start on that I'd be happy to add a link on the Fender Rumble Club Wiki Page | TalkBass.com

Would such a thing be a good orientation for new users? Maybe also provide a beginning to preset mods to share in the same way?

IDK. What you think?
I love the idea. Much easier than going through each preset to find out which amp/cab and effects are applied.

With 100 presets involved, it would be great to "divide and conquer" with several owners here contributing a few each. We just need someone to start it . . . somehow . . . however that's done . . . ?

ps: I just added a link to the Fender TONE APP SUPPORT Webpage to the Fender Rumble Club Wiki Page. to help new Stage & Studio owners (and researchers).

Since I have never sent in a picture of my set up, here it is.

I don't have time to write them down today, but this is a start maybe?

FYI: I think the Small Room on patch 04 should be after the amp. I may have fiddled with that.

Do you think they’ll come up with a V4 version of the 112 cab or did we ruin it by not buying enough of them?
I played the 200 head and the 115 cab Tuesday.
What a nice clean sound and that head is PLENTY loud. I liked the cab but was wondering if a 210 cab or a 112 might sound tighter. They didn’t have any for me to try.
The 115 even seemed a little “bassy.”
Though it still sounded great.
I was thinking maybe eventually the 115 and the 210 cab together or a pair of 112s.
The pair of 112s with a 200h would be cool because I could use one cab @ 140w or both cabs @ 200w which seems like it would be way loud. I could always get the 500h later to run both as well. I’ll probably have to start with one head and one cab though and my worry is that I might not be able to find two 112s.

I think they are gone due to low sales. Plus at $300 a piece there couldn't have been much profit involved. Yet the Rumble 115 goes for the same $300 so....
A pair of 112s and head make for a dandy low weight small footprint yet huge tone and LOUD gig rig. I had a V2 rig With Rumble 350 head and twin Rumble 112 Neos. It was killer and musicians were dumbfounded over how good it was.
I don't foresee Fender coming out with another 112. 212 for the new Stage 800 possibly, but you never know what Fender will do next.
 
Thanks, Linnin.

That’s probably going to rule out the 112s for me. I’ll probably have to build this rig over time starting with a max of two pieces (a head and a cab) and going up to four pieces: maybe the 200h and 500h and 2 cabs. At this point (still early in my search) I’m looking at a 115 and a 210 giving me the option of running either cab by itself with the 200h, both together with the 200h, the 210 by itself with the 500h or both together with the 500h. I’m nervous to run the 115 by itself with the 500h since it’s only rated for 300w and the 500 puts 350w into one cab.

Obviously you and others hear a difference between the 115 and the 210 cabs. What makes you prefer the 115 (or two 15s) over the 10 inch speakers?

I am completely biased against 10's. It's irrational in this modern age. All the woofers are better now than they were in the 1970's. That is blasphemy to many, but I can hear the truth. These new Chinese made Eminence ceramic-ferrite drivers are amazingly good. Astounding even.

I listen to the 10 in my Studio 40, and then go play my Rumble 200 combo. It is clear to me that the 15 sounds much better to my ears.

@Linnin you should do the eric_b mod to the 40!

Hey, Aaron...I will give you a different slant on this, FWIW.

I come from the "dark ages" of the 60's, playing soul, blues and R & B. At that time, the best sound came from 15" drivers. To quote your expression in a previous post, "15's seemed a little bassy". That, to me, is a good thing!

More recently, a good friend of mine and a gigging "rock" musician said 10" drivers were the best for him because they cut through the loud guitarists and drummers. I didn't argue with him because he has a different situation and, apparently found a solution.

Long story, short, the decision for the size of the drivers rests with you, the music you play and who you play it with.

It is unfortunate that Fender eliminated the 12" option (at least for now). You can still go with a Rumble 200 or 500 head, but you will have to source an alternative 12" cab, if that is the compromise you are prepared to make. I am happy with 15's because I know I can make them work for the music I play...IMHO. ;)
