I don’t think it particularily likely that either the 200 or 500 head will be resurrected. They were simply outsold by their combo cousins, IMHO, and ultimately replaced by the 800 HD. I wouldn’t mind seeing a 300-watt Rumble head though, but I’m not holding my breath.
It'll come out with the long awaited R212 cab.
Hey, I got the same amp! Welcome and enjoy
Congrats! Welcome to RUMBLEville! The info you'll find on the WIKI is extremely helpful. Tons of useful tips to keep ya Ramblin on! Enjoy your new combo - and if you're gonna play on that beautiful hardwood floor, I'd highly recommend an isolation pad - to eliminate any coupling problems and hear more of your amp and not the acoustics of the room.
Funny you should mention that, I moved it to the carpeted area of the room just this afternoon and it was a huge improvement. Thanks!
I may have mentioned it b4, but I had a mechanics kneeling pad-they're cheap- that I wasn't using(I'm no mechanic), so it's in my gigmobile for use when needed. [my house is carpeted]
I’m sure it’s great - I have one in combo form.There is a 350 watt Rumble Head....it is the Rumble 500 Head with a single cab....
...and I got one of them!
But the 500 head is no longer generally available, after all.

If the 200 hadn’t been discontinued, I might have bought one when I was on the lookout for a head to go with my spare 210 at our rehearsal space. As it was I had to go with the TC Electronic BAM 200, since a Rumble 800 HD would clearly have been overkill, both in power and price. I’m happy enough with the TC, it sounds good and works well. But I’d have preferred a Rumble if I could get it, hence my hankering after a Rumble head in the 300-ish wattage range. With the 210 cab, it would also have been a good backup gigging rig (not that there are any gigs on the horizon at the moment).
That would certainly blow the doors off almost any venue!
NAD! Powerful enough for a small gig but can be gentle enough for my daughter to get her homework done upstairs. Looking forward to reading all the advice on this thread and the Wiki page!
What you need is a R112 cab to go with or mix/match. I think I know where you can get one.There is a 350 watt Rumble Head....it is the Rumble 500 Head with a single cab....

I use it with a Rumble 1x15 cab. Looking to add another cab to get the full 500 watts. On the fence trying to decide whether to get another 1x15 (matching) or get a 210 cab (mix and match) or use separately.....
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the 210 is a hell of a cabinet. I mentioned that I played it for a friend and he thought it WAS 2 12s plus the 350/700 Watt power handling capability. I could be wrong, usually amThere is a 350 watt Rumble Head....it is the Rumble 500 Head with a single cab....

, but the 210 might be the reason for canceling the 112 cab and the 200 and 500 heads. The 800 head puts no strain at all on the 2 210s. The 500 head is in the box as backup. Like I need a backup. Love them both though.
