i do not 'suffer' from brand loyalty* (except maybe switchcraft and neutrik --- even then: i'll use what's available when i need it).
* mexican beer is an exception.

The Killer Dwarfs were the last GREAT gnome metal band. Now it's just posers. Little posers.
I think Paula is lamenting the fact that no matter the needs of the person asking for advice, the Rumble is some people's suggestion for EVERYTHING. Not every tool is right for every job. Same thing happens in the effects subforum:
"I need an inexpensive overdrive, budget is under $100".
Cue 14 people suggesting the boutique $300-$500 overdrive flavor of the week.
"I've heard good things about the Joyo American sound, I'm looking for a preamp/amp sim but I can't afford much more than $50, does anyone have any experience with it?"
"Get a B7K Ultra, Get a VT Bass Deluxe, etc"

Kinda like a Squier VM or CV. The bang for the buck is hard to beat.
Wow Periodontists really do sound amazing!
At least that's a little less snarky sounding than a more direct and accurate "Dream on!" response might be. I'm not inclined to spend more than I need to for gear. So i can relate to somebody on a budget. But some of the requests for what to get for $50 that sounds "just like a Big Sky" or similar make you wonder if it's a joke question sometimes.

Quilter BB800 is the new black
I have a Rumble V3 500 w/ 1x15 ext cab. I like it, it does what I need it to do. If I found something different that I liked better I'd probably switch.....
What's Your point?

They're cheap, they're light (the cabs feel like they forgot to put the guts inside), you can find them anywhere you live and they sound pretty good. That's worth a recommendation, I'd say. GK gets recommended just as much here for the same reasons.

"Buy used and for just a little more you can have what I have which is IMO the best EVAR!!!!"
I bought a Rumble 100 because I needed to replace my practice amp and wanted something that could do double-duty in smaller rooms, and was lightweight. It has exceeded all my expectations. Does all that and sounds great while doing so, plus the price was right. I have other gear that I also love but for someone looking for affordable gear with good sound, you could do a lot worse!
Before you start a thread like this, get a Rumble!
If you already have one, get another one!
I'm getting my second Rumble today!

IMO the Rumble is kind of a one trick pony - it is very easy to get a useful working sound out of it. If you're chasing a certain sound or want lots of flexibility, it's not the top pick, but the sound you get is quite useful. And that is the only downside one could find.
Apart from that, if you take weight and loudness into the equation, these Rumbles are dirt-cheap.
So a classy looking, inexpensive combo amp that sports the Fender logo, weighs next to nothing and has a useful sound that goes a lot louder than you'd expect from the pricetag/weight ratio.
What there is not to be recommended for Slavic Gnome Metal?
I never owned one and have no plans to ever buy one, but I do recommend these to people who want light loud and cheap.

I have a Rumble 100 1*15 one of the first I believe? The thing I liked from the start was how good it sounded flat Eq and then add some eq it just was amazing. It is the heavier version so I have moved away from combos live, but I still rehearse with it from time to time, and it still puts a smile on my face 
I know no pictures no Rumble
