Carrier makes amps now?

Cats out of the bag, now you know why the other one is for sale!
I don't own a Carrier, but I've been told that they are cold and sterile sounding and that their cooling fan makes a lot of noise.
And I hear they get lost in the mix in outdoor situations.I don't own a Carrier, but I've been told that they are cold and sterile sounding and that their cooling fan makes a lot of noise.
What are you wanting to use it for?Just sold my Rumble 200 combo. That thing was awesome, TOO much volume for what I needed. Might have to get a smaller version...
If the 200 is too much, the 100 will probably be perfectJust sold my Rumble 200 combo. That thing was awesome, TOO much volume for what I needed. Might have to get a smaller version...
Depends on what he wants to do with it. I got a 100 thinking I would replace my 25 for bedroom practice. The 100 was way too much, so it goes to practice. The 25 is plenty for bedroom practice and I have a very large bedroom.If the 200 is too much, the 100 will probably be perfect![]()
Yikes!Just sold my Rumble 200 combo. That thing was awesome, TOO much volume for what I needed. Might have to get a smaller version...
That's my daily personal practice amp! So you are very obviously not playing in a band. Try a Rumble 40! I have a very small bedroom and use a Rumble 200. I used to use a Rumble 75.The 25 is plenty for bedroom practice and I have a very large bedroom.
I bought it locally, used it for home practice (with a stereo) and monitoring with church. Way too much amp. It sounded great in my rock group though! My full GK rig gets those gigs.What are you wanting to use it for?
With the 100, I couldn't turn it up to enough to get the tone I want.I have a very small bedroom and use a Rumble 200. I used to use a Rumble 75.![]()
If you're going to use it for on stage monitoring at your church, then the 100 should do just fine. I think maybe the 40 wouldn't be enough.I bought it locally, used it for home practice (with a stereo) and monitoring with church. Way too much amp. It sounded great in my rock group though!

ACK!My full GK rig gets those gigs.
It worked great for me. But then again, so does the 40. YMM, as always, V.Depends on what he wants to do with it. I got a 100 thinking I would replace my 25 for bedroom practice. The 100 was way too much, so it goes to practice. The 25 is plenty for bedroom practice and I have a very large bedroom.

Great point and I did tighten the screws on the tweeter hoping it would fix the issue and it didn't. I didn't want to fiddle too much as I was lucky enough to be able to rent the amp for a home trial. So I don't technically own it yet.Thanks for the advice I really appreciate it. I had only ever played through the 100 watt combo and that was just for a few minutes. I loved it and it's why I headed back to the Rumble when I decided it was time to rid of my lead sleds. I'm going to contact them and let them know. I'll line up a time to check out another 200 watt and see if I can replicate the noise. I'm really excited to know how it sounds with an extension cab. Unfortunately, my music store doesn't have a single extension cab in stock. I'll have to order one sight unseen.
That leads to my next question. For those that use the 200 with an extension, do you use a 115 or the 210? I see the 115 is wider than the combo. Just curious as I won't be able to order both to try. I know the rule about mixing speakers and won't go down that trail in this thread. Thank you for answering my concerns so quickly. Cheers!
It's a good match for the 500 as well.I'm surprised nobody mentioned the 112 cab. A good match for the 200.
