I just got a Rumble 500c this week. Super impressed! With Covid having such a huge impact on gigs, I got the Rumble to replace my two Barefaced One10 cabs, which I use on smaller gigs usually. As a full time musician, and gigs becoming so unreliable, (We’ve been in another lockdown for the last 6 weeks here), I figured I cash out some gear, and the Rumble will be enough for smaller gigs, and I’ll keep my Mesa Subway head and 2x12 cab for bigger gigs. But...having read some of the posts here from folk doing biggish shows with a Rumble stack, it’s got me thinking that maybe the Rumble combo and a 210 extension cab is all I’ll ever need going forward.
My gigs range from pubs, corporate events, weddings, and shows with original artists doing theatres, and festivals.
I’m loving the sound of this amp!
Interesting night. We had a gig(first since March)at the Friday Night Fish Fry at the American Legion in Ft. Pierce, FL. We'd played there b4 and I had noticed that the R100 sounded boomier than usual[low, hollow stage, very tight]. I'd brought a stand but, oops, wrong one. Shoulda brought the MudStand. Hopefully I'll remember that next time we're there. FWIW, Bass-9, LM-noon, HM-2, Tr-noon, Bright button-in. Also, the amp is kinda in the corner. I pretty much sounded OK by myself but with the others I was sorta muffled.
I got my Rumble 100 about 6 months ago and only recently tried the vintage button while gigging (along with bright switch) and I think it adds more low end with less boom around A and G notes. I have a gig tonight in a good sounding room so i am looking forward to that. Actually had 2 gigs last weekend. We used to play On the Edge in Fort Pierce and Archie's.
We don't have anything on east coast now, we are in Sebring and play Englewood on the west coast at two clubs. A third place we played in englewood scaled back on pay, so we don't play there because of the travel.Let us know when your next gig is! I'd love to try to swing by and check you guys out!
I had friends come up from WPB to hear us. We played 2 songs and then a typical S FL downpour. Everybody left.

I'm kindly offering this up as a song title...I had friends come up from WPB to hear us. We played 2 songs and then a typical S FL downpour. Everybody left.
The Green Skies of Florida
a little blues or country ditty lamenting the inevitable.
I spent 2 weeks/month for a year doing a consulting gig at the Biltmore in the Gables, and got to experience the weather of South Florida in all of its glory. August was especially delightful. Not. But the weather was perfect for Art Deco weekend (3rd in January???) in South Beach.
I haven't attempted either specifically, but I'd probably set the gain up around 2 o clock, bump the low mids up to 9 or so (keeping everything else flat), and turn on the vintage and bright switches.
Excellent video! Binge watched a bunch of your other vids and subscribed to your channel!
Most of the time you won’t even need the extension cab, but it’s nice to have.
I guess I need to ask for a number - just got a Rumble 200 as an anniversary gift from my wife! Loving the sound....
In '72 I played with a band? out of Kewanee, IL. We played a coupla gigs in Mineral Point and Dodgeville, WI. There was a local band outta M.P. that was a lot better than we were.
What a nice wife! What number anniversary is it? And congrats on both (anniversary and Rumble).
Thanks! It's our 20th, and yes, an amazing, kind, loving, and thoughtful wife.
