Not only good for Keyboard, my Rumble 200 V3 combo sound great with Roland TD-1KV digital drum and quite well with my Squier Deluxe Strat + Digitech Element digital effect too.

never even thought of that! I was planning on getting an E kit sometimethis year. Can't play an acoustic set here without angering some of the old neighbors. Thought about a small PA... but using the Rumble for that will save so much $$$. I'm sure it would sound great too.

I have always felt that bass rigs would be the best thing for keys as well..
Better than keyboard amps are for bass. But then again, bass amps have voicing and character, most are not "flat" at noon. Keyboard amps tend to have inputs more like a mixer.
When I first started, I chose a peavey kb300 for my guitar synth, figuring it would be good for bass. It worked for bass, but it had no punch or bite at all until I ran a guitar or bass preamp through it, then it was acceptable. I then put a peavey mynx 110 35w on top and used the preamp out into the kb300, that was a cool little rig until I sold the mynx. I used the kb300 on a few auditions, and finally joined a band with it, but before we got to gigging I bought my swr bass350 and a used peavey 1810 beast. No comparison. A few months later I had the stack of swr cabs.
But even with that punch and bite, bass amps are good keyboard and electric drum amps, just make sure you turn the tweeter on for that application.
Bass amps are good amps for anything.
Oh, the kb300 had an xlr mic input and reverb, I used it as a small pa several times, as well as when the drummer got some triggers. Other than the size and weight, I regret selling it, it definitely had some uses, 3 channels and 4 inputs (ch1 had mic and line inputs each with own gain)
Looks like a mistake has been made. Photo is of a Rumble 200, but a Rumble 100 1x15 combo would be a first generation Rumble from 2003-09. It would have 'rat fur' and metal grill. Are you getting a V3 Rumble 200 for the price of a V1 Rumble 100?I was just browsing for a 200 or 500, but came across this screaming deal if anyone's looking for a used 100c - $139 at GC - not affiliated, but thought y'all might like a shout out if you're looking for one.

I'm online checking on it now. If it is a v3, it will be mine. If not, I'll let them know of their mistake.
Why? Like they are going to listen! Don't you know.. those that work at GC are all they only experts..!
I just got off the phone with the store. They say the picture is the amp itself, not a stock picture. They claim it is a 100 with a 15" speaker. I challenged that and he said it is an older model. Did they make a 100 with a 15 prior to the v3 that looks like a v3? I can't see the control panel, so I can't tell. What do you know about it?
Okay, then either it is a 200 and they think it is a 100 or they are wrong about the speaker size. I'm thinking order it. I can always refuse when it getsNo.
Damn, if it had occurred to me that it might be a 200 at that price I'd have bought it, but in the meantime I bought a 500 anyway .
So, will be in the Rumble Club sometime next week

I'm sitting here agonizing over it. Something isn't right. I can't tell from the picture.Damn, if it had occurred to me that it might be a 200 at that price I'd have bought it, but in the meantime I bought a 500 anyway

That photo is not a new V3 Rumble 100, it is either a Rumble 200 or 500. You can't really tell as the cabinet is the same size.

Rumble On!
Okay, the order is placed. I had the guy go look directly at the amp and describe it. He said it is definitely a Rumble 100. He claims the early v3 models have a 15" speaker. It is definitely not the older model. Delivery expected in 4 to 7 days. I'll post back when it arrives.
Something is very fishy. V3 Rumble 100s were always 1x12 combos. That photo is not of a Rumble 100. It's too tall. Did someone swap amps between a 100 and 200? You'll soon find out!
Yeah, I agree, the cabinet is almost certainly a 200 or 500.
You can also tell by estimating the width of the protective corners compared to the width of the cabinet.
Did the GC dude say the back of the cabinet says Rumble 100 and it is (or looks) stock?
BTW: the 100 amp won't fit into the 200 or 500 cabinet out of the box and look factory finished as it is smaller.
Anyway, let's wait and see what you will get!
