I have 2 of these actually! I love them
If you are asking me, any qualified surge/brown out protection would be fine for an amp. The Furman is a good one. In the case of an expensive RV, I would recommend a high end controller that shuts of all power before damage results ($200+).
Good eye. I have a surge protector power strip in my gig bag that I would have plugged into. In the case last night, there is a surge protector (supplied by the guitarist) hidden behind the guitarist's Victoria amp that I plugged into.
Good advice to follow....
Hey Rumblers- can anyone help me here.
I now have 2 Rumble 100 combos. I read somewhere here how you could hook 2 combos together.
If I remember right - you hook a cable between the main combo effect loop out to the other combo effects loop in??????????? And that way the controls on the first combo work the second combo. Is this correct or how do I do it.
Help so I do not have to go and read every post again.

That is how I recall it, definitely on the wiki pages and just scroll through the last couple of days posts and you will find it with regard to two R200c and or R500c amps
Short answer: yes. Check out the Rumble Club Wiki. It gives ya all kinds of helpful info.
IIRC, the only control that works on the secondary Rumble is the on/off switch(and tweeter switch-if applicable).
Here's how 2 v3 R100 combos can chain together to get 100watts + 100watts. This is the physical connection:
This is the logical diagram (modified from page 10 of the OWNER'S MANUAL):
The little switch built into the EFFECTS RETURN jack (A) disconnects everything above the blue line, which includes every user-adjustable control including overdrive, three little tone profile buttons, all the knobs. Every user-adjustable control setting on the master (SEND) amp is sent to both amps -- master and slave.
As an aside, there is a lot of Rumble magic happening between the FX RETURN and the POWER AMP, but we users have no control over that. There's some pretty impressive magic in the SPEAKER CABINET SIMULATOR circuitry (B) which allows Fender to use inexpensive and light cabinets to produce that big sound we find so addictive!
You got it exactly right, Len! There's a special Connecting Combos Together section of your Rumble Club Wiki page.
Nope, Craig! On the non-modeling Rumble combos this method of connecting them bypasses all controls on the secondary amp! The primary totally controls both, as if they were one. The secondary acts as just a powered speaker.

Wow, that's pretty slick! I stand corrected, and am now even more motivated to get a second R100!
I've had the opportunity to play through someone else's 2xR100 rig. Kinda wish I'd gone that route to begin with. That said, I still love my R200c for that phat low end.
Great guys, thanks
Just gave it a try and sounds great, at low volume in my study. It sounds the same as for volume, but much more "beef" so to speak.
There is more air being moved so a fuller sound. Can't wait to try tomorrow at higher volume.
thanks again to you all.

Still waiting for my bass (Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass White Blond ) to arrive.

Mmmm, a yummy Studio! @PanosI, you are now member #1393 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome to TalkBass in general and to The Club in particular. Put that number in your TB Signature for safe keeping. Please make yourself at home here for discussions of general, or non-modeling, Rumbling and post any discussions specific to modeling Rumbles in the Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800 club sub-thread.
And, of course, you're most welcome to peruse your Rumble Club Wiki page, the repository of all Rumbling wisdom and knowledge. There you may be most interested in the Stage & Studio Links & Videos sections, and especially the Fender TONE APP Support section where I most heartily recommend The Droopy_TX Rumble Preset Experience sub-section linking templates and Decoder Files to help familiarize you with the presets of these fabulous amps! Enjoy!
Please, Pan, tell us a bit about yourself, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular. Whatever your situation you're sure to fit right in here since we have all kinds. But the one thing we all share is our love to ... ...
Rumble On!

It’s difficult to imagine something that sits on one’s arm and only does one trick
I've been wearing a watch(not the same one)for over 60 years-feel undressed w/o one.
