Moody, thanks again for the links to your recommended threads. Honestly, they are way over my head in many cases but it's a learning process and good reading. Do you have a Thesaurus for all the terms?

Just because some of us tend to ignore, or make fun of, caustic comments does not, in anyway, suggest we endorse them. I was called a "political spin doctor". Other were called "dofus". The way you were treated should never have happened.

I hope we can move on from this...

I harbor no resentment.

Linnin, if you ever see this, I’m sorry things got out of hand. No hard feelings.

I've always been a tube, big amp kind of gent until this year...
The singer of the band I'm playing with has a Rumble 200 combo and I was shocked by it.
So, goodbye big rigs and hello Rumble.

Compared to all of the other rigs I've owned (plenty of Blueline and Blackline SVT's, newer Ampeg rigs, Aguilar etc.) this combo kills on so many levels.
I can travel with it in my 2 seater, I don't need help moving it, and most importantly, it sounds incredible.

Just wanted to share :)

Thanks for fixing the video. Nice sound.

Ask @Jeremy Jones how he swapped the grills on his 40 and Studio. Heck, he likes the Silver, maybe y'all could trade!

Hey all been gone for awhile.. For me with was a perfect fit for the swap... No modification at all. If there is someone that would like to swap there silver for the black I would be up for that.

I'm looking for information on compressors and Pre Amps to see if the Rumble bunch use them. I have a v3 500 with a separate 210 cab. I'm thinking of getting a semi acoustic 5 string frettless bass. I'm looking for mwah. Currently playing an old P and a Squire Jazz.

I use a TC Spectracomp. With the default setting and knob set to 9 o'clock it makes everything sound just a tiny bit more balanced and alive. I never shut it off and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another if needed.

However my experience with compressors is very limited. All I can say is I love having a splash of it with my R500H and 210.

I do exactly the same. Same compressor, same toneprint, same setting. Great minds think alike, it seems...;)

There is also the always-on Delta-Comp Limiter, as described by manual excerpts in this Rumble Talk:

While true, I dont believe its the same function or use case as an external compressor. The way I understand it is that its part of the internal signal path in the head, nothing you can really interact with and does not have the same impact on your signal as an external compressor would.

Apparently there's compression built-in the Rumbles, when you press the Vintage button.

The Delta-Comp limiter is always on, and does provide some compression and sustain, but it is dependent on volume and how you play. That means that it’s part of the signature Rumble tone but not user-controllable in any real sense. For me, certain notes seem to ring out less clearly and die out more quickly in some rooms, and a good compressor like the TC Electronic SpectraComp helps even this out. The SpectraComp is also multi-band, which gives a very natural tone. You don’t really notice it until you turn it off.

Hi guys, i'm searching for some help, i have a crazy idea: stop gigging with heavy, bulky head + cabs, and i really like the rumble tone, obviously the stage 800 should be the right choice, but what you think about studio 40 + in ear for gigs?
anyone adopted this kind of solution?
this way i should have only a very light, little amp, the in ear and the bass to take to a gig
