Hello All,

I saw a post where someone was chaining 2 rumble combos together I think thru the effects loop.

Can anyone help me with this to find that post or tell me if it can be done.

Thanks

Quick answer, effects 'send'of amp A to effects 'return' of amp B. See Rumble Club Wiki page for details.

Have had my Rumble 500 combo since June 2015 and it's never let me down once. Really like the portability and sound of this thing. Here's how it sounds like with my Classic 50's Lacquer P (bare stock) hooked straight to it and the OD circuit engaged:

Sounds great.
You're wearing your bass pretty low. I noticed the bend in your left wrist. That is not only limiting you finger control, but over time can cause carpel tunnel issues. (meant as a helpful hint)

Interesting comment-thinking of the bass man from STP.<ADDENDUM>As most of you know-and as seen in my avatar-I play a Thunderbird. I've always slung my bass(es)low so that if the bass was taken away, it would look like I was adjusting my.....uh....er....zipper, that's it!

This is called Master/Slave. The Master is the one into which you plug your bass. You will do all the EQ and volume setting from it. Run an instrument cable from the effects out (send) of the Master into the effects in (receive) of the Slave. Simple as that.

Perhaps we should attempt to be "PC" and say 'helper' rather than 'slave'?

Thank you - I have the two amps and was wondering a way to use both at once - do not know what I will obtain out of this - but what the heck.

Thanks again

You're not the only one doing this. I've seen some here using a pair of 200s. Someone is using Studio 40 as the master with a 500 slave (IIRC). The first Amp I remember that had effects send/retrurn was a Standel 100. Just because my brain works in mysterious ways, I once calculated how many amps, the area the amps would take up, and how much electricity would be required to produce 1 megawatt.

Lenny, just be aware that the preamp and Master Volume of the slave amp are both bypassed, meaning the full power of the slave is always on! So, start with the volume on the master amp way down and turn up gently.

This is not correct. It doesn't matter how the cabinets are connected. It matters what the resistance of the cabs are. The amp has 2 speaker outputs. Connecting an 8 Ω cab to each will make the amp see 4 Ω. Also, if you use one speaker out to cab 1 and then chain cab 2 to cab 1, you are still at 4 Ω.

WOW...do I see some hostility in your statement because the way you worded it sure seems so. I know about the resistance of a cab and the formula is: impedance of single cab divided by the number of cabs= total impedance....sorry bud...so I had a brain fart at my age.

I does make a difference depending on the ohms of the cab being used I agree with that but running 1 cable to #1 cab then jumping to#2 if those cabs are 8ohms the output of the amp will be 4ohms. Take the Twin 10 250 Fender for example. It is at 4ohms driven why.....because the way the speakers are wired...in series not parallel.

This is correct. I was assuming 8 Ω cabs.
