If those were your settings when you heard "warbling" I have a single guess whyHere're the "relic'ed" knobs on my Rumble head:

For blues, I am running with the vintage button on, low pushed about 1 o clock, mid low and mid high at about 11, and high at about 1. Horn on... Using an Ibanez SR500 with EMG active pickups P volume at about 75% J volume at about 25%, tone flat on both...
Indeed, this is going to make the perfect rig for me, it's just a question of 2 x 210 with head or a 500 combo with 210, and where will I hide them in the house so that they go unnoticed.Gentlemen, Fender is ready to play 'catch' with you wallets!
Thanks Linnin, but I will leave it like it is, has a 'new old stock' feeling to it, fits my Precision
Thats too much relic'ed for me, mine has just a hint of brown thereHere're the "relic'ed" knobs on my Rumble head:

Aside from the discoloration of the knobs, that's a heck of a nice photo... Could almost pass for a Fender product promotional photo.
One other club member reported discoloured knobs a while back. Fender tech support was very quick and efficient, sending him a new set under warranty.
Sounds like Fender had a batch of bad knobs that slipped through QC, and they've been replacing them. Given that you don't like the "relic'd" look, why not get on board that train?

Given that you just unboxed it, are still within the retailers return period, discolored knobs, and odd noises, I would try to arrange an exchange with the retailer for another one, let them deal with fender support...
Not to brag on mine, just stating a counter point to the troubles you have had... My Rumble V3 500 combo has that I can tell thus far been flawless.
Yeah, that's my inclination. I'd like to recreate and confirm the issue if I can make the time (a challenge with 3 kids under 8 and being Mr.Mom while my wife works lots of evening overtime in January) before doing so, but I'll just initiate the exchange if I'm unable to test it more.
