It's kinda because we are a very big Rumbling family that includes a very wide range of amps & cabs!
The two threads are simply to separate the modeling discussions, which can get complex, into the Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800 club sub-thread and the non-modeling discussions here. This is so that the non-modeling Rumblers don't have to get all confused, or feel like they're missing something, by reading about modeling complexities that they don't experience with their Rumbles. So, it's just for a little clarity of focus in each thread, please.

Actually, Soul Man, you just gave a great example of a perfectly appropriate mention of a modeling Rumble in this non-modeling thread by not getting into any specifics of modeling! See, we can be one big happy Rumbling family!! 
Thanks, Souly.
Thanks, Souly.Excellent explanation, JP! 
Thank you.
It's perfectly fine if anyone wants to read, or contribute, to discussions in either thread, of course, regardless of which type of Rumble they own (or mention). But please try to keep the modeling-specific discussions in the Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800 club sub-thread.
Just trying to preserve the "complexity-free safe zone" that's always existed here in this thread for the non-modeling Rumblers before the introduction of the modeling Rumbles. Likewise, discussions that could apply to both types of Rumbles, such as SoulReflection's post above, should be posted here instead of in the Invalid Link Removed club sub-thread.
That's all. Just civil discussions in logical threads, such as have made TB such a great place to confer.

Yep very satisfied!Anything more roBUST sounds good to me.
So I've been thinking... The new fuzz pedal came a day early, and it's actually quite good. Plus I did all the maths and while I'd pocket some cash in the exchange I could lose as much as $400 swapping from a 500H and 210 to a Stage 800 overall (mostly on my Rumbles resale). And you know what's about $400? A shiny new Rumble 115.
So that 90% sold on the Stage 800 is sliding downward.
I realized besides GAS I have 2 driving factors motivating my decision. 1 is cashflow, I've been looking for any way I can to increase my savings and liquid assets so if there's something I'm not using I've been letting it go while also clearing my backlog of stuff I wasn't selling due to COVID(so obviously I turn to the amp that hasn't seen real use in over a year), cutting back on subscription services and takeout, etc. 2 is the fact that my amps and audio interface have to be stacked beside my drums and they're part of my film set. I have a very limited amount of energy, my health sucks, and there are some weeks where I'm only home a day or two. So having to redo the set every time I get together with the band is unappealing and being lazy about it means that inevitably I'll want to film something but I'll have to spend an hour setting up and then I won't want to film anymore or I'll have lost my motivation/creative groove. Which to be fair to the Stage I would just unplug it, slide it out from under my Katana and then set the Katana on the floor then reverse. Its foot pedal would stay at home unless on a gig.
What would you guys do? 1) Just run a Stage 800 2) Run a 500H + 210 with the band and a Studio 40 at home or 3) Have a cab in each place and just bring the head? Or better yet anyone know a roadie who will work for free?

Remember, it’s not how big it is... it’s what you do with it!
Says who?
Ha
Have 2x500H and leave one at each venue. You can connect them together at a gig if you need 700W

Me too...I realized it only happened with the E string so I raised the action a tiny bit and all is well. Why it didn't do it with my others amps I don't know. These Rumbles are very sensitive to input.
Had a gig tonight at a really cool venue. The Rumble performed great again. Place was huge. Had a chance to try out my new stand as well, it came 1 hour before I was set to load in, didn’t expect it until next week.
So far I’m loving my Rumble!

Great! I got my first dose two weeks ago. And so did our drummer and second guitarist. Next Monday looking forward to first rehearsal in I don’t know how many monthsOn an unrelated note I can sign up for my first vaccine dose on May 17th!
God I can't wait to be vaccinated so I can choose to go nowhere instead of being forced to go nowhere.
Also I might have found a Stage 800. So today is a good news kind of day!

I got my first jab on Thursday. We’re still on partial lockdown here, so I’m thinking it’ll be a while yet before we can gather for rehearsals, let alone gig.Great! I got my first dose two weeks ago.

I've been vaccinated for a long while as of now
My partner gets their first shot on the 4th, then one more a month later.

We’ve started to open up again. Gyms, restaurants, museums, hobbies and so on. Limited hours and people, but it’s a start. Hope your situation improves soon too.
I’m sure it will - it’s mostly due to an abundance of caution, but we haven’t gotten as far in our vaccine regime over here, as we’ve discontinued the use of AstraZeneca’s vaccine and Janssen is probably going to be the same. Still, we’re on track to have finished vaccinating the entire adult population by the end of summer.
The buzz is definitely coming from the amp housing. You really hear it well from the rear of the combo, and pressing in slightly in the right spot makes it stop. No complaints though, for the price I paid I expected there to be quite a few issues, but that is the only thing I have found. Otherwise, it is in perfect condition.

Good on you! Miss audiences, I do.
Are you running your Rumble's DI into your PA? Looks like a cable hanging down on the DI side. If so, how'd that work for you?
No, I am running it out of the Tech21 Bass Flyrig at this show.
The pic was taken before the sound guy pinned us up.
I have a question for fellow Rumblers:
I have a Rumble 500 Head and a Rumble 1x15 cab. Since I am running only one cab at 8 Ohms, which connection should I plug into in my R500H?
I have been plugging into the top connection without any problems...so far.
Thanks
