Fender Rumble Club

[Danne Palm]

I really love my 500 combo, but quite frankly I just like it without all the voicings and OD off. None of them sound right to me at all. But the clean sound with a few slight EQ tweaks is awesome and takes my pedal board sounds really well. But to each his own

Got to play around with my 500 combo for the first time after getting it, and I love it as much as I did in the store. It just sounds home to me.

Now the question of the day, do I get the 2x10 extension cab? If I do that, then I have no reason to keep my GK MB800 and GK CX410, but I love them too.

Get the Rumble 210, sell the GK cab and keep the GK head for backup.

Or, get the Rumble 210 cab and keep the GK rig and run stereo

It's a versatile amp for sure !

Now a couple follow-up questions, do you guys actually make a lot of changes to your rumble's EQ before sending the DI link to the board? I was flat at noon on all counts with the contour button enabled.

My Rumble EQ at home and on the gig sound drastically different. As everyone has noted---on the gig, especially when you turn the volume up, it gets VERY BOOMY. For me--vintage and overdrive sound great in my home studio---but, sounds awful in practically every live situation I have played in. I boost the mids live and turn off vintage and OD--and cut bass.

Just paid deposit on Rumble 500 combo. Can't wait to get it. I have a Trace Elliott 4x10 90's cab (weight is 5 times the combo) What are people's thoughts on this 6x10 rig?

I'm guessing loud........... Hard to access real life versions where I am..so haven't played yet. Your pic warms my heart.......I'll make the singer carry the Trace up the stairs at our next show though.......my back has had enough

In my opinion, every space is different. An amp/bass combination can sound very different in similar rooms, let alone the differences between a home environment and various gigging environments. And of course, where the amp is placed makes a big difference.

The best skill we can have is trying to develop some aural objectivity and be willing to experiment with settings. That is far better than insisting on using a setting that works someplace else.

Sweeeet!! Looks like mine, except I've got the V3 200 with the 15" Eminence, and the V3 2x10" on the bottom!! Good rig you've got!!

 

[JHandley]

Can I get a number?
Finally made the trade in for this Rumble 200.
Kept the BW Peavey 15 being it is an 8 ohm cab.
Still more experimenting to do. Got it done last Monday.
Liking what I hear so far, and the weight is a god send man!
Please excuse the crappy cell phone pic.

I try not to get too hung up on stuff like this but I noticed Equipboard says he played a J on Yer Blues. That line is soooo thick. That is all.
