Fender Rumble Club

I have email the image to Fender R&D department before, i hope Fender will create somehing like this in future.

Yes, it's a nice looking mini-head.

Problem: it would cost more.
Solution: all the materials are available online to make your own. By the time you've gathered everything together it will be around US$50 and then there is the issue of having the tools and skill to make it. Don't forget to allow for heat build-up. Part of the current design uses the metal case as a heat sink.

For those of you with the Rumble 500, what is the loudest you have ever had your amp? With every other knob at noon, I have never had to have my master past 10 o'clock. (Alone, without extension cab.)
Had mine up to about 12, 12:30 once, but was playing a large semi-enclosed patio area. It holds about 800 people. And I was asked to turn down after the first set, so I cranked it back to about 11:30.

I once pushed the volume up to 1-2 o’clock with the 500 combo + 210 cab. I did that for about 10 seconds, because it was in the rehearsal room and it was painfully loud.
 
Wow!!! Holy Toledo!!! Amen and Halleluia!!!
Finally got my two Rumble 115's and they blow me away!!!
Linnin, you and the other guys weren't kidding.
They sound incredible and loud.
Just what the doctor ordered and the sound I was looking for.
Attached is a picture with the two stacked with an Acoustic B600H head, the Epiphone EB-3 and Squier VM Jazz bass.
Sir Linnin, May I have the honor of becoming a member of the Rumble club?
Rumble on brother, rumble on.
