Since the DI is tied to the preamp, I didn't know if it would work at all bypassing it, and yes, I do expect harps from heaven...

There is no DI. It is an XRL out. It is the closest thing to micing your rig without the $150-200 expense of a microphone. Read the Rumble Talks.
That 'splains so much. I was expecting magic, and instead I got my playing and tone.
I Know, Right? It's like why don't I sound like Pino Palladino? Something must be wrong with my Rumble.
The LINE OUT is between FX RETURN and the power amp. The signal path is:
INPUT --> preamp, all tone shaping and EQ --> FX SEND --> FX RETURN --> Hi-Pass Filter --> DELTA-COMP LIMITER. Here the signal splits to [SPEAKER CAB SIM --> LINE OUT] and/or [POWER AMP --> SPEAKERS].
I think you guys are missing my point...
I just needed to know that the XLR out was still functional after bypassing the preamp through the loop.

Yes. Soundmen and bass players agree, it sounds almost exactly like you put an expensive microphone right up to the speaker.
No one who has used the LINE OUT has one bad thing to say about it.
I'm just wondering how this will work on my upright. In that context, I don't think all that coloration would be helpful
The Rumble's pre doen't seem particularly suited for upright, and I have a few options for preamps (baggs, fishman etc.)to try. My favorite on the upright is just a simple MXR 108 eq.
I have no doubts that it will sound good with my EB.

Thank you. I have a few months to decide.
I'm sure I'll change my mind 100 times along the way. Great when there isn't a wrong choice.
Had to plug in the headphones!! Outstanding brother. You know in this ole world there's those that can and then there's people like me who wish they could. Outstanding Rumble on brother Rumble on!!!
Just picked up a Rumble V3 500 head and have played it at twice with my band (heavy stoner rock)> I love this head & so does the band. Im running it through an Ampeg 410HLF & it sounds massive but Im thinking of switching to "two" of the Rumble 410 cabs. How is the low end extension on the Rumble 410 & can it handle a low B? I know its going to be nothing like the 410HLF but im looking for more mids-low mids not just massive low end. The punch and growl of the Rumble 500 is addictive.
Sure thing! And low A too.
You are right. The Fender Rumble 410 is so much better than the over priced & over rated ampeg, it will blow it off the stage and into the dumpster.
You can try x2 210's....thats what ill end up with. That way you'll have the full 500 watts with both cabs and a nice smaller stage rig with just 1. Although i'm starting with just 1 for now, stacking two 210's vertically up seems to make more sense.

Horizontally? Most seem to recommend vertical stacking?
Yes, that was a typo
I meant stacking them up vertically so it sits a bit higher.
its either going to be two 410s or a 410+210 situation. I'm dealing with two half stack 100W tube guitarist and a loud as heck drummer. I use to use nothing but Ampeg 810s & the love of my life the Ampeg SVT 4Pro but I'm 45 now my back and joints dont love me anymore.
