Fender Rumble Club

Confirmed, with a 1/4 adapter on a regular aux cable with adapter in guitar works. With headphones on, you're only getting one ear.. same as when I travel with only my DI pedal, headphones, and bass. Shouldn't be an issue without headphones.

Should work the same with a regular cable and 1/8 adapter.

The Aux in signal isn't affected by the amps effects. Just clean, clear guitar. Volume is independent of the amp and controlled by the instrument. You could at your own risk control your volume via an effects pedal. I just briefly used a fuzz pedal for just such and it sounded absolutely great, I'm just not entirely sure that a boosted signal couldn't harm the aux input. It could be the same as playing a song from your phone for all I know about the energy being transferred.
These are the Kaish knobs on my R200c(also on my R40). They're a slightly smaller diameter than the stock knobs, fit the shaft, and use a setscrew to tighten down. They even include a screwdriver to mount them.

Looks good GP!

G-dog. If I'm considering buying an extension cabinet and the 4 10 costs $399 same as the 2 10, other than weight difference.. why would I ever chose the 2 10?

The 4 is rated higher at 1,000W (Program), 500W (Continuous) while the 2 is 700W (Program), 350W (Continuous) both are 8 ohms.

Wouldn't that allow more headroom through more speakers? I'm assuming they're the same speakers, just more to disperse the load across. Is there some other factor I'm not seeing?

And I apologise to everyone for hijacking the forum with all my posts and questions lately. I'm trying to stick to things that may be informative or of interest to others also.


Yo, Dook. The 210 has proven more popular than the 410, probably due to weight and the cab size, and thus received some price increases to make it cost the same. OCD of the looks is often acknowledged as the reason for choosing the 210, matching the size and shape of the 200/500/800 Stage combos.

You're exactly right that the 410 allows more headroom, and it also provides more Sound Pressure Level (SPL) from the extra speakers. But they are not the same speakers in both cabs! Since both cabs are 8 ohms, the 210 has two 16 ohm speakers and the 410 has four 8 ohm speakers, IIRC. The 410 speakers are also lower rated individually at 250W program & 125W continuous, versus the 210's 350W program & 175 continuous.

With your Rumble Stage 800 you can also run two 8 ohm cabs, if you want, in addition to the internal 210! Two 210 cabs would give you the same SPL as a single 410, with even more power handling headroom! But two 410 cabs would give you the ultimate SPL and headroom, though at greater weight. Either way, it's a win-win! :thumbsup:

Or you could wait for the"soon to be available" R212.:smug::rolleyes:;):hyper:
 
That happens to mine, too. In addition to looking grimy, they get this stickiness to them. I'm gonna go for those Kaish blacks, a la GonePlaid.
I was tempted to go for the ones that "go to 11",but since it's such an 'inside' joke-and nobody sees them but me-I passed.
 
Thanks so much, G-Dizzle. You are a true scholar. Where I am weak, you make me strong. You lift me up. You're the wind beneath my wings.

Your explanation makes perfect sense. I looked up the silver cloth and black cloth 2x10's the other evening after you explained the difference between the two was merely cosmetic. (I've considered doing the opposite of Purple_Sting's murdered out pretty 500 with silver clothing my 800 to match an ext cab) While confirming the 2x10's, I saw the 4x10 and knew in my pea-pickin' little gizzard that if anyone could bestow some knowledge on me, just call on G-Man. I knew there just had to be some reason it seemed like we could buy more for the same price. It would be nice for the sizes to match but that's not a deal breaker for me.

Thanks again.

You're quite welcome, shoe-man. Fortunately, there are others here that can answer these questions just as well. Someone once said that scholarship isn't about memorizing millions of facts, but knowing where to find the information you need when you need it. And that's where the Rumble Club Wiki page comes in, for Rumbling info. ;) The Club's mission is to lift up its Rumblers.

However, I'd recommend being very wary of any "wind" you may perceive in my presence! Talk about strong. After all, I am a member in grumpy standing of the GOFs club. :spit:

I haven’t heard of guitars breaking bass amps, maybe other folks here have, but I’m wondering how your guitarist will achieve a line level signal without any gear. Also note that there’s no volume control on the aux in and it’s (obviously) a 1/8” stereo jack.

Oh right, I thought it was a normal instrument jack. I forgot we normally use an aux cord for when my drummer connects his kit

Crossposted to the stoner/doom thread, but got a used eden 210 and replaced the speaker in my 115 cab and spent some time just jamming and working on some tunes with my drummer today. So friggen punchy, super clean too.
