I'm not selling mine.
There are still a few out there but hard to find.
Ratchet strap that baby on the cabinet and rumble on! Then any tilt back stand will work..
I like my 112 sitting under my 500C quite a bit. Not getting rid of mine anytime soon, either.I'm not selling mine.
Y'all can add me to the club. Ordered the Rumble 500 combo yesterday. Will be ordering a cab soon, want to hear it at practice a bit first. Probably will add the 115 cab coming from a guy who has always played 15s. Old dog, new tricks I guess.
Well, as you can tell, I’m really into testing out the tilt back thing.
I’m also looking for a low wattage lightweight physically small amp for when a 115 is too big and/or too loud.
I want the tilt back on the amp for maximum use of space so I can use it as a monitor when there’s no room for a stand.
(I’ll probably get a stand for my 115s.)
I tried another brand also only to find that I’m stuck on the Rumble tone.
I think this might do the trick.
I’m really looking into getting it!

I can confirm that the 800 line out is pre-master volume. It's been super useful too when recording through the board as I'm not bleeding into vocal mics but I still get the signal I want. When using both xlr outs for stereo does it default to pre or post effect? I didn't see a sub menu in the amp settings for it. Just got the tone app, haven't got the chance to connect to the amp yet suppose it could be in there. Finally got a new phone with a working camera. I'll show it off a little when I get home from work. Pretty sure I owe a picture.
Page 4 of the manual says the stereo XLR Outs are "(post)":

Yes, indeed, Lazey, baby! We wanna see that Stage 800 with 115 & 210!!! Whata stack!

Gonna be a few weeks on the ext. cabinets. I've been eating bean soup for two weeks so I can have some fancy PA mains. My neighbors might revolt if I prioritize doubling the output of the DuplexDozer 800 first. Wish it had an excavator bucket on it. That would be cool.Yes, indeed, Lazey, baby!

You have the distinct advantage of still being young enuff to not really give a [noun] about weight.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes.
I have a Fender Rumbe 25 V3 that is broken and I want to attempt to fix it myself. It will be my first amp repair, but I do have basic knowledge of electronics from Youtube videos (basic principles and soldering techniques).
The problem is that when I turn it on, it gets stuck in a loop where it turns on and off, with a popping noise each iteration. I've learned from another site that it is due to a DC Offset that is kicking on the protection circuit which moves the voice coil in the speaker, which causes the pop noise. I've included a video on exactly what is happening. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
I'm a little scared to begin this repair after watching several safety videos. Here are some questions I have:

I'm a little scared to begin this repair after watching several safety videos. Here are some questions I have:
- How likely will I accidently send lethal voltages through me? This is a solid state amp.
- Should I plug the amp into an outlet while I'm working on the amp? Should I attach the ground of my multimeter to the chassis?
- What exactly should I be looking for or testing? I have a basic multimeter that can read AC/DC voltage, resistance, and current.
- I'm not sure if it is safe to remove all the screws that I believe connect the chassis to the cabinet. In the picture, I've labeled each screw with a number that I think is attached to the chassis. Let me know which ones I should take out or leave on.
Study up! Don’t touch it with both hands at the same time! Do drain the capacitors! Use a pencil to touch things! Be careful!!
Unplug it and then turn the power switch to ON for a while with it unplugged. Should cycle any charge out of the capacitors. That's usually the first thing I try with any device before I start taking screws out. Works wonders on flat screen tvs. Like Eats said, it's hard to light your gourd up if you never actually use your body to complete a circuit. Watch a couple electrical safety videos.
Just a quick question. I am aware that our Rumble amps have a “built-in” HPF. I plan on getting the fdeck Series 3 HPF. Just wondering if it’s ok to use it when my Rumble 500 head has a built-in HPF already?
THANKS!
THANKS!
I have a Rumble75 V2 that has a great tilt-back feature..maybe hard to find nowdays but the single 12" Fender Special Design Speaker does a great job and in your case would act as a very good monitor. I've played a few small outside gigs where the 75Combo more than does the job alhough it is a little on the heavy side..wouldnt bother a younger guy. Pic of mine tilted back.

All good my man, wouldn't be without one after trying an HPF late last year, the extra control over your sound is excellent!
Cool
Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to incorporating this pedal into my signal path. I don’t use any effects but this pedal looks like a must have device. Especially when playing various venues (which I haven’t done yet... ugh!). Thanks again. P.S. Do you run this little guy in your effects loop or between your bass and amp input?
Another question about the DI on the Rumble 500.
Does the master (the knob on the far right) affect the gain of the DI?
Does the master (the knob on the far right) affect the gain of the DI?
I should think so, inasmuch as the Master interacts with the Gain and other systems in the pre-amp, and the pre-amp signal is what goes to the XLR Out. To better understand, you may want to read some of the Rumble Talks on the wiki page about Gain Structure, Overdrive, Vintage Voicing and the Delta-Comp Limiter.
Hope this helps.
