Fender Rumble Club

Dang... a used Rumble 100V3 just popped up in my local classifieds at a very reasonable price.... OK breathe... you already have the 200... you don't need two...

Yes you do. ...or is it just me? How reasonable?

Edit time: Should have read first. I may not need another 100 anyway. Parts Express had a discount code for Memorial Day and free shipping so I ordered Eminence BassLite neo speakers for my Rumbles. Less weight, more sound; it's the Rumble way.

I just bought a 2011 Fender American Special Strat HSS and playing it through my Rumble 100 and let me tell you how sweet it is.... It's sweet!
Just wanted to share with ya'll that the Rumble 100 is now my guitar amp.

Not just sound great with Elec Guitar, my previous Rumble 200/150 V3 sound great (Horn Engage)with my Roland digital drum, elec violin , elec Cello ,digital Sax, Clavinova and keyboard too.
 
As many may have read, I've got a Super Bassman amp and a couple of Bassman Pro Neo 115 cabs. But. .....I'm now in this club with this 500C

Should do nicely for rehearsals and some gigs
 
So I see. There is also some cause for concern. I for one think @drewphishes should be more forthcoming about the outcome of this thread as it appears he is just dumping a Rumble that he himself has damaged. Helppppp! Fender amp just blinking

As I said on the thread the amp is fine. It was the circuit in my house that needed to be reset. Once the reset happened there were no issues. The amp was for sale before that incident as well. I had just got a cab and a head
 
Rumble v3 500 2x10 owners (either combo or cabinets): Have you done a gig with the cabinets side by side rather than vertically stacked? I have two 2x10" Rumble cabs and was curious if anyone had tried doing the pair side by side; so far I've only gigged them stacked vertically.

You only get the coupling effect with stacked identical cabinets/drivers. So you would forfeit that bit of sonic goodness. Your dispersion would also decline somewhat and your mids would beam more. All the same reasons vertically stacked 10's are acoustically superior to the 4x4 arrangement of the 410 cabinet. 4x4 is best for Jeeps and pickup trucks.

If the cabinets were pushed together side by side on the floor, would you effectively get more low end with that positioning, as one would with PA subwoofers? I recall seeing a video demonstration by sound company that suggested using a pair of QSC KSubs side by side centrally to the audience with a DJ setup to achieve a coupling effect.

Not quite the same, but I've stacked my two combos on their sides when the vertical config was too tall for the venue. I didn't notice much difference.
 
Another configuration I've dreamed of is putting a Fender Bassman 100T head on top of a single Rumble 115 and running it in the 25 watt mode going through the Classic Fender Tone Stack. I bet it would sound positively glorious. :woot:
I'm catching myself looking at Bassman 100's online. There's just something about the smell of hot tubes in the morning.
