I was just playing my Rumble 200 with my Fender American Jazz V. I am in the process of trying different strings way too often. Rather than buy yet another set of strings, I put the DR FatBeams back on and wow!!! On my Jazz V, I like them better than Chromes (fantastic; too high-tension), TI Flats (lifeless, muddy, and the B sounds different than the others; love them on my Precisions), D'Addario XL's were great, but I couldn't accept that a less expensive string could sound so good.
Now, back to your question
, Now that my Jazz V has a set of great sounding, well balanced string on, the low B is not muddy at all. The Rumble 200 has the same speaker as the 1x15 cab. My 200 can handle the B with authority. To the point of being amazing.Here's something I just tried recording with just a little Tascam DR-05. The Low B was loud and clear. Not a very good bass recording, but maybe you'll get the idea. The last note is low B. Sounded a lot more powerful in person:

Current R410 V3 cabs (700W RMS) should have no trouble running single or paired through such a head - it's ready!
800, let's go full 1k - bring it on!
I was messing around with my (new to me) HOG2 pedal last night. On octave down, the R40 had no trouble anywhere on the A string. First five frets on the E string not so great, but that could have been the pedal....
Cheers,
Lmao! The best part of that is that John Candy is Canadian, and nobody knows how to make fun of Canadians more than a Canadian, lol!
Sorry.
I downsized to this wonderful Fender Rumble 500 watt head and a Fender Rumble 2x8 cabinet. Very affordable rig and a back saver compared to that unwieldy Ampeg SVT I had before hand. I love my little Rumble Rig! I'm thinking about getting a Silver Fender Grill Cloth put on it like the new Rumbles, any thoughts?
That sure is in good shape. I don't know that I would mess with it.

Rumble On!
Sweet! Thanks you guys! I shall "Rumble On" That's a Led Zeppelin song right?Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, amusicalperson!
I've had my share of Labatt's and sure wouldn't turn one away.... Best I've had down here was some home brew that I put together a couple years ago with my "Mr. Beer" kit!
That's one of my favorite scenes from that movie - with Dan Akroyd pulling their truck over as a close second. I never noticed Rhea Pearlman pulling Lemieux's jock off until I watched it yesterday.
Cheers,
