Fender Rumble 200 v3
Well the store from where I wanted to purchase the amp will not have them until like September (they told me Julye a month ago), so I asked the other store if they had any on stock and they had the 200 available but was way more expensive than the first store, bottom-line I took the quote from the first store, they did not like the price but the manager agreed to match the price and that is why I know have the 200, I was only able to test it at the store quick and test real quick at home, so far I really like the sound and I enjoyed a lot the Vintage option. Will post more once I get more time with it.

As far as I know, we are the only club with a Tone Pool, and not only that be sure to search up Rumble Talks for informative user information. We have numerous 'man-on-the-stage' gig reports all over the place. 'How To' posts on modifications.

Good excuse to post a gratuitous bit of Rumble goodness, ready for action with the Gibson SG bass.
It shouldn't have any effect at all. While I've not done it with a Rumble 115, I've put cabs upside down and on their sides with no detrimental sonic effect.
Left my Rumble 200 on all day Sunday and all night long and when I went to practice today I was surprised to see it still on. So I felt the back metal of the amp chassis. Cool to the touch as if it had been off. Couldn't hear the fan run. In fact I've never heard the fan run at all. Not the first time I've done this. No problem. And so quiet I couldn't tell it was on except by the power indicator light.
That's funny!! My 200, even when it is off and unplugged, screams, "Play me!"
I was actually trying to speed up a new cabinet speaker break-in, so I plugged my iPod into th aux of my 500 head and cranked it up with the window open while I worked outside. Like at about gig volume, ran it 4 hours straight, cool as a cucumber.
There's a fan? Who knew?

Both the 200 and the 500 are equipped with fans. Says so in the manual. You'd be hard pressed to notice them, though - they're very quiet in operation.
I guess. I didn't know there was one. Guess I need to read the manual. I think of manuals as a way to figure out what went wrong.
Well if your fan goes bad there's some brand new fan technology that uses magnets to levitate the blades, called "magnetic levitation bearings". Meant for super quiet, efficient, reliable operation:

not sure if any of these are dropin replacements of course, and 120mm would be some serious coolage.

No real need to read the manual - the Rumbles are plug and play - but I kind of like to do it anyway. Just the way I'm wired, I guess
