Next June at the earliest, when my house is built and I can move in. I'm currently renting the lower level of a house from a lovely lady, whose TV I can hear. Until then, I'll be playing through my audio interface with headphones and one of the bass amp sims I own. I use Gig Performer to host them, so i don't have to load Studio One Pro.

Nope. Super simple. The red bar shows "Bypass". I enable just one amp sim. The drum VI (I have MDrummer, Superior Drummer 3 and a couple of others, but kept it simple here) is there for obvious reasons (to me; I prefer it to working with a metronome). MSuperLooper is the complex bit that I haven't fully implemented yet. MIDI and audio routing in Gig Performer is easier than any other software I've ever used. And it's much more flexible than wiring a pedal board.

I showed the Wiring view. Think of that is the back panel. The rackspace panel (front view) is where you put the buttons, sliders and other widgets to control the plugins in the wiring view. Here's an example of the rackspace view for MSuperLooper.

GP is a great app. It's primarily intended for live use, but works great in my home studio. The devs are touring musicians AND former devs at the IBM Research facility in New York. Highly recommended.

Hi guys, I’m new to this forum but I’d like your advice specifically on Fender Rumble 500 Head with 2 x 210 cabs. I’m playing in a loud classic rock band and at my current settings my sound is lost in the mix.
The master volume is set at 12 noon, gain at 9 O Clock. EQ bass and low mid at 10 o clock. Treble and high Mid at 1 O Clock.
Vintage and bright switched on using Fender American pro 2 jazz bass via Keeley Bassist limiter/ compressor on pedal board before preamp and SFX High Pass Filter in the FX loop before power amp.
My question is how much further can I raise the Master or Gain to avoid any risk of blowing speakers and what levels do use use for this similar amp and speaker set up?

Hey guys a new TB member is struggling. I tried to guide him to this thread. Can Mr. @G-Dog and you other guys with big amps take a look?

Yo, Pete! First things first. @Peter Gladwin, you are now member #1419 in the Fender Rumble Club. Congratulations and welcome. Put that number in your TalkBass Signature for safe keeping. Then make yourself at home here and on your Rumble Club Wiki page, the repository of all Rumbling wisdom and knowledge. Especially see the Rumble Talks section with lotsa good info about your Rumble, particularly the Insights from Dave Lewis there. Then checkout the Rumble Club TONE POOL section, starting with the actual Rumble flat settings, before opening the list of various Tone Settings.

You've already gotten some excellent advice in your original thread from Rumblers, @dougjwray, @jastacey, @JakobT, and @Artman, not to mention the best amp designer & tech around these parts, @agedhorse! Re-read and heed their posts there.

Then, when you get a chance, please tell us about yourself, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular. Also, a photo of your Rumble would be great! No matter your background, you'll fit right in here since we have all kinds. But we all love to ... ...

Rumble On!

Just for S&G, does anyone know of a 2x12 bass cab, 8 ohm, Rumble weight-and price range? The only 2x12 cabs I find have their weight measured in tons and are 4 ohm. And $$$. Not counting heavy, empty, cabs that I'd then hafta go spend a small fortune for a coupla 12's-more weight.:banghead:

Not sure if they have a 212 option, but Seismic are super inexpensive. They won’t blow your doors off sound wise, but they’re usable.
Edit ** I just did a quick Google search and only came up with 215 or 210 bass cabs for Seismic. Got your heart set on 12’s?

My first real amp was one of these. 2x12 cab. I like 12s.

It looks like the best/least expensive way is to get a second R100. No rush. We ain't gigging that much. Just kinda musing.

I agree there's a big gap in the lightweight inexpensive 212 cab market right now. But if anyone could fill it a Rumble could!​

That would certainly be the most versatile/flexible lightweight inexpensive solution for a 212 rig!​

... ... Course you are always welcome to borrow [my R100] in the meantime anytime you like if you want to stack'em some night.

A very generous offer, 13. Goner, this sounds like a golden opportunity to see if reality can measure up to your fantasy, Goner! Maybe determine if selling the R200 for another R100 is the way to go, ... or not. :thumbsup:
