Thx. I'm 'blessed' with short, fat fingers. These knobs are little bit easier to grip w/o fouling the ones beside the one I'm trying to adjust. I need to get another set for my R100.Nicely done, GP.
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.
Looks good GP!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.

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.
Or you could wait for the"soon to be available" R212.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!

Yes! We've been hoping for the "soon to be available" Rumble 212 for about two years now, and not from anything that Fender has indicated, but just our own fantasies.
Sucked in what way?I want a 212 cab....
Anyways, I swapped the knobs out on my R500 head as soon as i got it, the knobs it came with suck.
Color and texture. They felt 'sticky', and the color was pretty meh, so i replaced em ;PSucked in what way?
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.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.
Some of my best most favorite inside jokes are with just myself.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. ... ...
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.
Sure, which amp are you asking about?Can I use the XLR OUT to hook a headphone amp to so I can have my Own IEM without going through a p.a. mixer?
Nice rig @rutrho!View attachment 3717892 View attachment 3717892
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.
