That's a nice looking cab. I have a Ashdown CTM 100 that sits on top of 2 rumble 115s, and sounds great!

I am LOVING my new little Fender Rumble 40. Let me count the ways...
- After lugging around hundreds of pounds in the past (Sunn, Ampeg), it's awesome to pick this up with one arm.
- Aux In allows me to send my Macbook or iPhone headphone out right into the amp for practicing with studio versions or recordings of my bandmates
- Phones output mutes the speaker, so my spouse doesn't end up hating me for the hours of practice "repeating the same songs over and over and over"
- Overdrive shocks me every time I engage it with how freaking loud this little guy can get
Rumble 40 owner here, and new to the forums. In another thread I saw mention of a spreadsheet with example amp settings. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I use my 500H at rehearsal with my Eden 210XLT cab all the time. Sounds awesome with that cab.... but most amps do....
I use my 500 at practice (haven't played out with it yet) & I don't even hear a need for an extension cab.
I usually keep my volume at around 9:00 and the thing blows my knees apart! lol

I haven’t been underpowered yet with the 200 combo. In fact, it still blows my mind how it handles everything I’ve thrown at it. Got a couple outdoor gigs lined up over the summer though. Figure it’s a good time to get an extension cab so I don’t have to bank on the combo exceeding my expectations every time.
I know this is probably not the place to ask, but does anyone know of a sheet or "Tone Pool" like this for TC Tone Print heads? Sorry, noob. And Thank You everyone for your help. This forum has fed my frenzy!
Are people having problems? Mine has been solid on the low notes. I'd like to know what the LOW CUTS do as well, I used number 1 this last weekend on a particularly boomy stage and it really helped.
Welcome, MykennaC and lucas303. Lovely to see two new TalkBass members, and both with Rumble 40s! How about posting a pic of your Rumble and Gravedigger Dav would be happy to induct you into The Club, if you ask nicely.
Yes, lucas, the spreadsheet you seek is called the Rumble TONE POOL. and there's always a link to it, whenever you want it, on the Rumble Wiki page linked in my signature, along with many other links to Rumble information.
(Thanks Jacob, but, you know "give a fish ..." versus "teach to fish ...", right?)
I just picked up the 100w Rumble and love it for the same reasons. Sounds pretty darn good too. I got it exclusively for home practice as my normal gig rig is an SVT/810 which I can’t keep in my really small living room.
Oh - and here’s a pic...

Holy moley! Even long-time and medium--time TBers are buying Rumbles this week!
What is this? The early income tax refunds coming home to roost??? That's great!
Alexander, that's an arty pic. Did you wanna join The Club with it? We'd love to have you.
NDC, what can I say? Hey, @Gravedigger Dav, somebody's about to challenge you Rumble collection!
NDC, I'm sure I speak for many here when I say, we'd love to see a pic of your Rumble collection, please. That, and your request, would sure be a powerful application to join the Rumble Club. What do you say?
I have an EH Soul Food which I use for this purpose. My G&L L2000 just drives the onboard overdrive too hard. The Soul Food also has a blend dial and I can get the little bit of overdrive and warmth I'm looking for.
My Broughton HP filter arrived today and I really like it. It very much cleans up those low tones. I've seen several others recommend an HP filter. I'm a believer.
I searched, but can't seem to find a club for those of us who use and love the Fender Rumble series of amps. Any interest?
I've been playing at home with my Rumble 30 since late January and it seems to me like this amp puts out a good share for being so small! Originally I was looking at the Rumble 15 but went with the 30 because of the extra input jack, more wattage, and I read online reviews which said the 30 would be good enough to play with a band in a small venue even versus the 15 which didn't have as much bang.
Hope to hear form some fellow Rumble fans soon!
So this makes me the founding member, #1? I feel this is a big honor for someone so new on the forum!
I just bought a Rumble 200 combo brand new. My first gig with it will be Saturday night. I would like to humbly ask to join this club. Thanks!
Welcome Rumbler #1045! I probably use my 40 more than any of my other Rumbles or Bassman. Amazing amp, isn't it? Rumble on!
Welcome Rumbler #1046! The 100 is a lot of amp for a practice amp. You'll find it will do well for small venue gigs as well. And it compliments a J really well. Rumble on!
Welcome Rumbler #1047! The 200 is the only Rumble I don't own, but it gets a lot of love here, for sure. Your bandmates will be smiling Saturday. Rumble on!
Wow, I think this may be a record. Three new Rumblers joined up and one veteran added to his collection of Rumbles. Let's all say hello to MykennaC #1045, Alexander #1046, and LHbassist #1047, and to NDC #758. Let's all Rumble down to Funky Fender town!
Update. Now we have 4 in a day. Say hello to CaptObvious #1048
