This is one of those "fill in the blank" answers:Hey guys, can anyone lend me a Rumble??
_______ NO!
Outta curiosity, has anyone hooked up an Elf to a Rumble cab? Not planning-just wondering.<Addendum> I read a review where someone put one into a R115 and loved it, mainly the portability factor.

I seem to remember reading (it could be a false memory
If so, does anyone know the frequency and slope of this HPF?
The reason I ask is because I have been asked to play some dub with a local band and I use the Meatbox for extra subby-ness. Usually I would take my larger rig (which can get plenty subby) but I would much rather take the rumble (500c) to rehearsal and DI out to the PA.
BTW, I am not expecting the Rumble to produce subwoofer level sounds, I am just worried if the speakers need extra protection.
See the Fender Rumble Talk about the Delta-Comp Limiter lnked on the Wiki page.
I'm looking into a barefaced retro two10 cab, has anybody tried pairing this with a rumble 500 head?
Thanks G-Dog but that doesn't actually contain the info I am looking for.
I guess I will just add an HPF to be safe and DI before it.
Maybe better safe than sorry(I just made that up
)
Damn! You is smartMaybe better safe than sorry(I just made that up
Yes, at a GC upstate I found one plugged into a Rumble 4x10".
It sounded good, but to get overdrive you have to crank the gain & then it's LOUD with just a nudge from zero on the volume.
Maybe by next Christmas. Or shoot for Easter? Groundhog Day? Lincoln's B'day?I'm Dreaming of a Fender Rumble Club 400 1x15 Combo Christmas …
drool
No OCD here...1-15 on the bottom, on top, a Combo 200 or 500 on its side, preposition a matching Logo on the Combo and your done. In extreme OCD cases one could change the grille cloth on the Combo and add or move a handle or the rubber feet.
Getting back to the issue of "Not a good idea to pair a Rumble 500 head with a 12" speaker"...
I've had no problem with this (or doing it with an even more beastly GK 1001RBII)... you just need to be intelligent about your volume. If you're doing a coffeehouse gig or something -- where a single 12 is perfect -- you don't need the volume which would blow the speaker.
Just my 2 cents.

Here I am the night before last, gigging at a small restaurant. I should have brought my GK Neo 112II instead of the Neo 212II (I had about 3 x 3 feet on which to set up), but the Rumble sounded great. I had my MB200 for a spare. The bass is an SX PJ with the Jazz pickup disconnected and the P pickup replaced with a DiMarzio. Chrome strings. The Rumble 500 provided clear, warm thump. Beautiful!
