GonePlaid speaks the truth. The R40 puts out way more sound than I expected it would when I bought it.

I have a Rumble 40 that is my home practice amp. I've been using it for over 4 years. I think it is exactly what you need.Rumble 40 v3 Small upgrade for my home playing. Ordered a Rumble 40 v3 to go with my LT25 and 300 watt head (not a Fender) and 1x12 home made cab with an Eminence Beta 12. Just wanted a little bigger amp for playing at home and occasionally at a friends or very small venue. Didn't want the studio version for a couple of reasons, cost and simplicity. Since the LCD went bad on my LT25 last year (replaced under warranty with a new amp, I'm still a little leery of the LCD's longevity) I just wanted the basic controls of the 40 (I do have a Zoom B1on pedal for effects if I want them). My more powerful head and cab are more trouble to transport easily so I think the Rumble 40 will be perfect. Nothing to compete with the big boy Rumble Club members but good for me.![]()
I would like to join this club i enjoy the different tones out of my rumble LT 25

I miss Linnin!I’ve been reading through this entire thread, what a read, I’m only about 500 pages in, plus keeping up to date on recent posts.
Question, I’ve seen @Linnin post a lot earlier on in this club, is he still around? He seemed to really know his stuff.

Thanks John!Wow! It's great to have friends. Especially like those.
Here’s one more I started the other day.Wow! It's great to have friends. Especially like those.
This one is Sycamore as well.Sycamore.
Thank you John!Wow, it sure looks beautiful. Thanks for posting it and good luck with the project.
Thanks! I am a big Lone Ranger Fan. Lol! Almost done with the bass. Waiting on the tuning machines.Nice! What a gem. Seeing that pickguard photo on a guitar makes me think of the New Riders of the Purple Sage, or the Sons of the Pioneers, or one of those old western bands. Way cool!
