The Rumble flavored Kool-Aid is good....
Welcome to the Fender Rumble Club, @JOE EDO!The Rumble flavored Kool-Aid is good....
You are member #611 
Rumbles Rock! 
I have been looking to downsize my rig (wanting light weight, good sounding/looking combo)and went into the store and tried a fender 500 combo and a GK MB210....both were light weight and sounded very similar but I opted for the fender:
Light weight+
has a retro look (silver face grill/nickel corners)+
large/solid control knobs+
easy to use+
cool "vintage" option+
great tone+
Hands down, I love this combo!! I play mostly roots rock with either an upright bass or a Dano longhorn with flats. Both sound excellent through this amp. I like the vintage option (the contour option and bright option I don't use much) and I usually play with the eq flat but roll off the bass or treble if things get too boomy.
Only thing I don't like is the "dirty" channel: sounds like a cheap distortion pedal...

Even better than you! @Yahboy is Rumble Club member #53 and that makes him among the elders that still actively contribute here. He is always positive, and created thisHe can even design dishwashers!
Yeah I know I'm not a member, but you can sign me up! I have a Rumble 40 at home. Amazing amp for its size and even more amazing I got it for 80.00! Actually Yahboy's amp cover idea is pretty cool! Unzip the front and roll it up and play and leave the cover on if you want. I like to tease him because his pencil drawing reminded me of a dishwasher!

Are there any other new Rumble owners that wish to join our club? Our third anniversary is two weeks away, and I'd like as many new members as possible. Just post a photo and ask.
Beside the good sound, the look of v3 combo is absolutely sexy and elegant.

If I design it, I must give it a Suftgreen match with white.
