Thanks much !I use my 112 w/ my 200c. Yeah, it's a little louder, but mostly it's fuller. We just don't have enuff gigs that I need it. So it sits at home.. If I'd known what I learned later, I'd have bought the 200h and 2 112's.

Hey, @GonePlaid, I'm sure in one of your many combinations, you've chained a 40 FX Send to a 100 FX Return. Am I right? I ordered my 200c the day they were in stock ($100 cheaper than now!), and just got a 40c for practicing in my living room. I continue to strike out trying to find a 112 cab for my 200 (would LOVE new; will settle for one not beat to a pulp), so I'm wondering about adding the 100.
How's the sound/level/feel of the 40/100 combination compared to the 200c by itself?
I can't imagine a 100/200 combination being anything less than stellar.
Trying to figure out what I'll do with a second "it ain't stimulatin' me!" check...if that ever happens!

I can vouch for the 100+40 combos getting it done for most situations. Two 100c or a 100/200 has to be plenty unless you're a member of Megadeth or something.Hey, @GonePlaid, I'm sure in one of your many combinations, you've chained a 40 FX Send to a 100 FX Return.

The(or my, anyway)40 doesn't have EFX send/return. I have gone 100>200 or 200>100. Impressive but overkill. I s'pose it would be useful to have 1(the 100?) as a monitor for the drummer in a LOUD situation. What I did do is split the signal from my Micro POG with the 'dry' going to the 100 and the 'efx'(1 octave up) going to the 40, EQd differently. When I'd kick it in, the 40 gave the effect of a guitar playing in unison w/ the bass. By setting it on top of the 100(or 200c), it takes up no extra floor spaceHey, @GonePlaid, I'm sure in one of your many combinations, you've chained a 40 FX Send to a 100 FX Return. Am I right?

Someone a few pages back posted that there are 4 112's for sale online. Try googling Rumble R112 cab, there may be one near you. I've thought of selling mine but I'm not gonna take a big loss on it and shipping would be ridiculous. It, by the way, is in excellent condition w/ a custom heavy duty cover.
As I've said, the 200c/112 combination gives me an almost perfect tonal palate. It's just too damn big for anything I can ever see me doing in the future-assuming there is a future for live music.

the “traditional” way to join 100C and 40C is to run 100 FX send > 40 instrument input (no FX loop on the 40.)Hey, @GonePlaid, I'm sure in one of your many combinations, you've chained a 40 FX Send to a 100 FX Return.

A band I know in town has 2 R100 combos. For bigger gigs they run an ABY pedal and place a 100 on either side of the drummer...
I haven’t tried the 40+100 myself, but I’ll tell you this; the 2x100 is one of the most impressive small rigs I’ve ever run, better than any 115 or 210 I’ve encountered.
I had mentioned the 112s for sale, last I checked 3/4 were sold!

FYI, Michael Buffer trademarked that phrase. Anyone using it is subject to litigation. However, when our band plays a song with a certain Latin beat, I've been known to say "Leeeet's get ready to rumba".In a recent thread where a GK user is considering a Rumble 100 for smaller gigs:

But you can always get a second 100c and chain them. Gives you 200w -> 2*12
Done that and I can confirm it sounds more than stellar! Much more in fact
Then what we really need now is video comparisons, testamonials, and endless debate on R100/R100 vs R100/R200 because.....RumbleDone that and I can confirm it sounds more than stellar! Much more in fact
Separating the combatants into weight classes, a safe bet is on the Rumble family in just about any contest. I compare another 40W, 10" combo at 33 pounds and figure, give me 33 pounds of Rumble in any form and it's game over. I'd put my rubles on Rumbles!Then what we really need now is video comparisons, testamonials, and endless debate on R100/R100 vs R100/R200 because.....Rumble
"Rubles on Rumbles". That'll have people "rushin'" to buy them.
Just to follow up on this...I just used my Rumble 500 v.3 head to record a track to send to a friend. He's doing a house concert and I'll be "there" with him. (I mimed my performance for a cellphone video, and he's going to put everything together and make it look like we're in the same room... sort of.)
Anyway, I used the Rumble's headphone out into the line-in jack of a little Zoom Hn1 digital recorder. "Vintage" engaged, high mids at 2:00, the rest of the EQ flat. Fender Jazz Bass with ancient Chromes and both pickups and tone full on.
It was a folk-rock song with just voice, acoustic guitar and bass, and the Rumble produced a beautifully warm tone. Just fantastic.
The bass could have been a bit louder in his final mix, but the guitar and bass sounds blended very well. He did take the time to roll some low end off of his guitar, which made a big, big difference.
Thank you, Fender Rumble 500 v.3!
Hi, rumblers. Has any of you compared a 500c + 210 cab rig to a 500c + 115 cab rig? What do you gain? What do you loose? Theoretically it shouldn't be much difference, maybe (cone area pushing air and so forth), but I would really like to hear from those of you that have tried both combinations. Thanks!
Great stuff, @GonePlaid. Good song choice, nicely played and sung. What bass did you have there?
