Am I going mad, or did my amp sound better when it warmed up?!

I happen to agree. Science may say 'NO!', but I like to let my Rumbles idle at low volume with a bass plugged in for about half an hour before cranking up.

+1to theevilplankton, I thought I notice an improvement in my overall tone when the cooling fan kicked in on my 200c,I didn't want to say anything because it's somewhat new(3 months) and the other guys would say i'am not used to new gear.That maybe so,but I know I didn't receive 2nd hand smoke from linnin's avatar! I hope the're not reading this.I DON'T CARE TO HAVE TO EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT I THINK I'AM HEARING.

It's important to get all those crazy little electrons hot before you make them do the bass bottom boogie. It's their favorite dance!

To be fair, I have noticed this in all the amps I have used. And the majority I have used are Solid State. Science may not back me up, but I know it sounds different once it has been plugged in and on for at least 15 minutes...

OK let's have some fun, If I told you my V3 40 sounds better at lower volumes than my 200c,you might think I believe the earth is flat.I would never in a million years say such things with the guys I jam with. I can voice my opinions here w/o being treated like I got the plague.NO SCIENCE, CRAZY ELECTRONS,it all works for me.I think i'll fix me a nice cocktail now!

I'd like a number please! I picked up a V3 Rumble 200 combo a couple of weeks ago and am absolutely thrilled with it. Lots of tone options and easy to dial in any sound I want, light and plenty of power for anywhere I will play.
The only question now is should I also replace my Traynor TB50 with a Rumble 40 or 100 for smaller venues? I was going to trade in the Traynor 50 on either the 40 or 100 but the difference in price was considerable so I left the store with the new 200 and kept the Traynor. I'm not sure the Rumble 40 would be much of a step up, if at all, from the Traynor and the 100 might be overkill. I'm thinking if I need more than 50 watts and 10" speaker, I can just bring the 200...

according to the majority of TB, the Fender Rumble Club is 'The Flat Earth Society'.

Hello rumble lovers! I currently have a Hartke HA3500 (280W at 8 Ohms, 350W at 4 Ohms) and having a very tough time deciding on which rumble V3 cab to get. I play mostly classic rock and some slow metal on a 5 string. I am looking at the 210, 112, 115, 410. I am going to get one cab and get an identical one of whatever I choose eventually. Help!!

If I was pairing up it would be a tough choice, but either a pair of 115 s or a pair of 2 10s. Assuming the cab has the same 15 driver as the 200 combo it should sound awesome.

Is 'slow metal' anything like a lead sled?

I vote "410(s)". Seems like the 210 is most popular. I liked the 15 in the 200 combo, but wanted more power and options, so exchanged it for the 500 head w/410s. It may not matter, but I also like the idea of parallel/series (or solo) 8 Ohm drivers vs. 4 or 16 Ohm. No regrets!

Cheers,

I would like a number. I have the Fender Rumble 500 v3 and I love it! Still have my old trace Elliot 12 combo, but it just sits around collecting dust! The rumble sounds incredible.

Picked up two rumble 4x10s to go w/ my Rumble 500 v3 head. Sounds great!

I was chatting with Angeline Saris (Rumble Club member #350) and she was kind enough to send me not one but two autographed photos. I wish I had a way to scan them in so I could post them. I am elated!
