You are right. According to the manual, you can't. With the 200 and 500 you can.

Had a small gig last night at a surf/skateboard/hot rod store called Soulriders. Really cool place, owner was awesome, and we had a good time with a good sized crowd and lots of positive feedback. Took the 500 combo and the 210 cab. While I didn't need to full rig, I figured I might as well take it all since it's so light in the first place, and it keeps some of the speakers closer to ear level. I had the volume at 10 o'clock LOL
Just checking in to say I still love my Rumble 100 V3. It gets louder than I think 100w through a 112 should be and the tone still kicks butt.
Just for grins, I tried a different one out in the states and it didn't sound as good (yeah, I know it was a GC but still...). I wonder if it was that the one was beaten up or if the voltage made a subtle difference. Either way, I know I lucked out with this amp. I'm betting I'll gig this one till I leave 220 current land.

Jeeze, crucislancer! Overkill much? I think a 100 would have held down that space, no problem! Your 500 combo alone: most certainly!
I bet it sounded great!
You have a link to more information on this? What type of materials and why / how?
So the casters are hard and transmit low freq vibes. Ditch the casters and use the GRAMMA.
I'll consider it. The casters make moving so easy though. It's not usually an issue except at this one venue.
Sure, you still use the casters for ease of movement, but once you're on stage pop 'em out and throw your GRAMMA down on the stage!

LOL! Well, in the absence of a clear idea how a room will sound, and how the band as a whole will sound in said room, it's best to fall back on the old Scout motto: Be Prepared. And taking the full rig is an easy thing to do, much easier than my previous rig, which was a beast no matter what I did. I did only bring one bass, however. And it sounded fantastic
I was set up on a hard floor with short carpeting. My settings were:
Gain 10 o'clock
Vintage ON
Distortion ON
Dist Drive 11 o'clock
Dist Gain 11 o'clock
Bass Noon
Low Mid 2 o'clock
Hi Mid Noon
Treble 10 o'clock
Master 10 o'clock
Volume and tone full up on my Nate Mendel Precision most of the time, though I did back off on the volume for the mellow song we do. The tone is really dynamic, with my volume lower and not playing as hard, I get a nice, deep tone with a hint of break up. Dime the volume on the bass and dig in, and it rips your face off. This setup never fails to impress. Our next gig will be at a club with a decent sized room and a small stage, so I am curious to hear how it sounds there.

I tried those exact settings. Very aggressive for my jazz but I think perfect for a p bass. Well done!
Thanks. Gonna try it with my Jazz bass as well, though I tend to use the settings I listed previously in the tone pool for when I use the Jazz.
