Patiently Waiting For The Next British Invasion
I had a TV 15 it's a guitar amp that thing sounded horrid with a bass and required a more than normal amount of energy trying to dial in that tone stack but it was gorgeous it sent me right to an SVT
Very impressive so far from a 29 pound box.
After 45 years schlepping heavy amps and cabs I am getting unable to in my older age.
My current setup for the past several years has been a Mesa - Boogie Venture 600 2x12 combo with a Mesa 15 RR cab. This set up takes some effort to eq from room to room. I was impressed how well the 800 Rumble sounded with little effort right out of the box. With the Mesa 15 plugged into the Rumble it was some what muddy and had to roll out the bass eq. I think I will go with the Rumble 2x10 cab for a add on. The 800 has a impressive tone and volume. The Mesa setup has a certain warmth/tone from the tubes that I will miss but I wont miss the 150 pounds I will be loosing

If I was still gigging and needed that kind of power, I would be right there with you!

Good to see a Rumble 800 in the wild!
I completely get being impressed with sound of the Rumble. I used my Stage 800 for the first time a couple weeks in a small outdoor gig with no PA support. Just using the presets (KGB800 and Rumble V3 mostly) I was completely blown away with the sound and definition I was getting. I just played with the knob EQ's to compensate for being outdoor. I've had time to go through most of the models and effects now and taylor some things to my taste and can't wait to use it again next weekend for a couple indoor bar gigs.
Also, the previous owner missed a firmware update so I don't know how much that will impact the sound for the better. But man, this thing puts out! Like you I got tired of shlepping my heavy Ashdown ABM500 and 410h cab around. I nearly threw my back completely out the last time I tried to load it into my car.

I just tried to order it. It was removed from the cart and said not available. Sigh. Worth a try. It did quote me 20 € for expedited shipping instead of free, so they do seem to ship to France.
Me thinks the Rumble 800 combo is going to be a hot commodity for the near future!
Gig last night(Saturday)at local Elks club. Used the 200c for the third gig in a row. The tone is definitely worth schlepping the extra weight(compared to the R100)in/out of the gig. Prolly back to the 100 for the next gig. Space is that limited.
Did a large indoor bar gig last night - great crowd! Band received many unsolicited compliments.
I used both my Rumble 200 and extension 15 cab, no PA support. Didn't need it though.
Every time I load in or load out, I smile when I'm easily able to one-hand either cab out to my vehicle. Loves me some Rumble amps & cabs!
