Fender Rumble Club

[Kipp Harrington]

IIRC, there were posts about mixing several different Rumble cabs, with the consensus being that they are all engineered to work well together. That pretty much simplifies things!

Thanks G-Dog.

Ok I need a number... Traded in my old peavey head that I've had since 1987 at the local GC. Got the Rumble Studio 40 (it was a floor demo) for 299.00 and when the salesman grabbed it off the pile of amps he also picked up a foot switch and included it in the price. All I can say is WOW! This thing is great. I think I'll have fun playing with all the options for the next month or so.
Oh, and by the way, setting up the app, bluetooth, Wi-fi and updating the firmware took all of about ten minutes. Couldn't have been easier.

I hope you arranged a Will Call pickup so you don't have to wait around for it to arrive.

Funny you should say that. I'd been looking for that all day as I knew it existed, but didn't find it until just now. And guess what ... it's possible for the overdrive section to be turned on ... who knew! Unfortunately it's after midnight here now so I can't really test the results, but at super-low volume it sounds like it could have promise! I always left it off as overdriven bass isn't my thing, but I hadn't until now considered that just breaking-up thickness can be part of bass tone too!

I'd be sure to get that Rumble 100 up off the floor, or at least, point the speaker at yr ears. Makes a big difference in clarity.
Also, many have reported good results with adding insulation, padding, quilt polyester, etc., inside the cab.
I'm yet to do this with my R500C, but am "planning" it.
I did notice a helluva difference when angling it up to my ears tho

Very cool, flunk! Footswitch included! Just like the big boys' Stage 800. A very valuable accessory!

That's what Mud Stands are for!

For larger combos (200/500/800): Mud Stand for Bass Amps — Mud Stand
For smaller combos: Mud Stand Standard — Mud Stand
For smallest combos: Mud Stand Mini — Mud Stand

Gotta love a company that uses a v3 Rumble combo for their product photo!

Well, what do you know!?? There's some truth in that owner's manual!
Easy as pie to add effects to presets (which I've been doing to some of them since I bought the 800) but just couldn't figure out how to turn them on and off with the footswitch but also I have seen the light my brothers and sisters! It's a little green light indicating I'm in effects mode, and another little red light indicates if the effect is active or not. Hallelujah, praise Jaco!
Going a little crazy with the GAS. Call it a midlife crisis since I turn 50 on the 10th, I bought an EBMM Sterling that will arrive Friday and I'm planning to purchase either the rumble 115 or the black 210 cabinet this week. Sssshhhhhhh!.........don't tell my wife!

 

[Ducerro]

I like the black 210 cabs.... Bought two cause I heard they were discontinued. No idea if that's true, but I didn't want a year or so to go by and then realize I needed another 210 and not be able to find a match...

Using this myself to get closer to my ears:

 

[Ducerro]

Is that a keyboard stand?

 

[dORSY]

No, it is a combo stand.
It is like a big X, the front arm is lower than the back. You can open it and fix by a pin in the joint in variable positions. Also the upper arm (behind the combo) is adjustable in height.
So the combo is tilted upwards, the pic is not showing that well from straight front.
Bought it used for like 30euros or so with 2 guitar stands.

Yeah, I have these for various situations: plus this: (MudStand)

Hey, everyone. I got my review of the Rumble 800 up. This thing kicks @$$ I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the effects.

Love mine, cause it also rises my combo by ~50-60cms and has rubber feet on all ends, but those little stands are handy too!

VERY nice, Benny! Besides the different basses for every preset, , my favorite part was all the Beatles riffs!

My Rumble 200 combo sits atop a Peavey BVX 115 BW quite nicely Great dispersion

 

[tom dicus]

I zeroed in my settings. This Rumble 800 HD is the finest sounding head I've played through, ever. I prefer this over the Super Bassman. My settings on it. It's kinda' tuff to see, but the Vintage button is depressed. Fender really did this one RIGHT ON!!!

What's the difference between this and the Bassman 800?

 

[rodl2005]

AND a tube pre amp, 2 footswitchable channels, a trad BASSMAN passive eq channel..... ummmm... what else?
Both good.
