I've yet to get the FX loop to work well as an FX loop. They work great for chaining two Rumbles, though.
I didn’t know this! (Maybe ’cause I don’t use pedals. I prefer the built-ins of my Rumble Studio.)
The Rumble’s Master volume control is upstream of the FX Loop, so any volume increase through the loop must come from the pedal(s) as the final control.
Is the Master after the FX Loop really that much better for pedals on the 800s?

I use a Boss OC-5 in the effects loop of my Rumble 100 and it adds no noise whatsoever. It might need a certain voltage or something like that. Sounds like it works with some and not others.
I have a 500 combo V3, and I don't understand what Fender was thinking putting the Return of the effects loop after the Master.
Really seems weird to me, Master, to actually remain a "Master", should be the last control regardless of signal chain configuration.

1) pedal is plugged in.
2) ran cable directly from send to return, sounded fine
3) pedal off is still a touch noisy
4) yes, I'm using mono out.
It seems really sensitive to higher volume settings. Once I get to a certain level, it starts to become distorted. I'm also noticing it more on an active bass than on a passive one, which actually makes sense to me. I was hoping to bypass the DeltaComp Limiter circuit but since it sounds great not using the FX loop, I guess that's what I'll do.
Thanks for the input all who replied.
Quick question:
If I run two rumble 115 cabs through one side of my 800 HD (one with speakon from amp, the other parallel from first cab) will that be 800 watts total, or 400?

4 Ohms total? (2) 8 ohm cabs in parallel, the amp sees 4 ohms.
Full 800 from the amp.
Aloha, FR! @FRoss6788, you are now member #1733 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.
Oui, monsieur Ross, the Rumbles started out as
So, FR, how about telling us a bit about yourself, such as your bass experience in general and your Rumble journey in particular? You'll fit right in here since we have all kinds. But we all love to ... ... ...
Rumble On!

I refinished my two Duke LeJeune 110 cabs. I forgot how good they sound being pushed by my R200 head:
It doesn't quite sit right on the stack, but it sure sounds awesome!
I do have two sets of rubber feet that were too small to fit over the carry handles on the tops of the cabs. I'm thinking I might put them on the one side of the cabs, so I can stack the while they are horizontal.
They do sound just about as big as my R210/R115 pairing and just about as loud, but clearer, more articulate and more modern sounding. It's actually a bit fuller sounding than the Gnome on top and that tiny Gnome actually sounds really good.

Last night(Tuesday)was rehearsal night for the community concert band. Took the R40(I use the R100 for the concerts with people in the room). Since my job is to attempt to sound like a UB-which I don't play-either one is plenty.
Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience they could share on mixing the Neo Rumble 800 combo with the ceramic magnet-ed 2x10? Good/bad/the same/different?
Other than a few extra KG to carry, how they pairing up?
I’ve emailed Fender to ask if a Neo 2x10 is in the pipeline, but no response as yet.

From the Rumble 800 Combo sub-thread:

* The 115 cab is only rated at 300 watts continuous, so not quite suitable for 400 watts continuous from the R800c. The 210 cab is rated 350 watts continuous (700w program, but that's not a comparable rating), just like the R500 head is 350 watts continuous at 8 ohms. However, it has the exact same speakers as the Rumble Stage 800 combo rated at 400 watts continuous alone. And they make an identical black-grilled 210 cab specifically for the Stage, too. So, 7ender obviously is very comfortable running 400 watts continuous into the Rumble 210 cab.

Thanks for the reply!
Does anyone know, unlikely given how closely guarded manufacturers keep this info… but does anyone know if the Rumble 10” drivers in the 800c are the same as those in the 500c/S800/210, albeit with a different magnet?!
I don’t suppose Fender would share, but it’d make for a more assured match up with the 800c and cab if we knew xmax was the same.
I think @Matt23 is asking whether the drivers are the same as the 500c/210cab EXCEPT for the magnet.
That is exactly my rig. Sounds awesome together. No issues. For what it's worth, I A-B'ed the R500c (same speakers as the R210) and R800c side-by-each and could possibly detect somewhat subtle-ish difference in "tightness." The neo's being a tad more crisp. Connect up the R210 to the R800c and I can't tell the difference. The rig sounds incredible. If you're thinking of adding an R210, DO IT! I wouldn't wait for Fender to come up with a neo 210. You could be waiting awhile.

I really don't know anything about speaker design, but I would guess there are at least some other differences, as well. You might try searching the Eminence website for such models. Or even call and ask if there is any such thing as "identical speakers except for ceramic vs neo magnets". My guess is no.
But that wouldn't necessarily make them sonically incompatible. In my own experience my ceramic R500c speakers sound wonderful with my Bassman 115 neo cab! Both high and low volumes give a very even, rich tone with no significant difference between them at all! Neither their 10" vs 15" size, nor ceramic vs neo magnets, seem to me to make the slightest difference.

No, but they're working on the NEO 212, soon to be available at a retailer near you.

Are you taking down payments on pre-orders? (It might could help with your Italian condition.)
