The Combo Club

I appreciate all essential workers. ..., so help me out: post 3 essential worker jobs that you are thankful for. ...

cleaning personnel, garbage collectors, maintenance personnel. All underestimated and underpaid, yet so essential.


You read my mind, swinker.

Garbage collectors
are more essential than most people will ever realize, until they're not there! If you've never had to haul your own garbage after an extended power outage (think emptying your refrigerator & freezer, peeyew!) off to that magical wonderland that is the city dump (with thousands of emptied refrigerators & freezers!!! <gag, kack, retch>) then you don't know what real fun is!

Electrical linemen are the most celebrated essential workers after major storms, and rightfully so, since they bring civilization back to light. Most are volunteers from far outside the damaged areas, away from their homes and family, working very dangerous jobs. And their inevitable casualties are never publicly reported or grieved! And yet they are castigated by those most desparate for electricity who think they are being passed over! Near behind them are the communications cable repairmen, internet, tv & phone in order of today's importance.

Tree services is another unsung, yet very essential and extremely dangerous job after major storms. Even the electrical linemen usually have to wait for the trees and limbs to be removed from the roads and power line right-of-ways before they can do their work. I include here the collection and hauling of literally mountains and tons of trees, limbs and debris that line all the roadways of storm damaged areas for untold miles and miles and miles!

Yes, it's been a banner year for hurricanes, but Mother Nature has a way of sweeping all areas, one way or another.

Let me know if you want to try the Cub, or try your Double Four with the PB-100. I think we can figure out a way to make it happen before I sell them, if I do.

They don't have the passive baffle, but they still sound pretty damn good.
I'm interested, but as you know, winter in Michigan means we're at the mercy of the elements.
:thumbsup:
 
Is anyone else having trouble getting the tuner to work on the GXT-7 connected to a Rumble Studio 40?

Hey there, ddarrell2! Be patient, I’m sure someone from either here or the Rumble Club will stop by with a thought. In fact, we have a few S40 owners, though I’m not sure what foot-switch they’re using.

If you’re interested, post a pic of your combo right here and I’ll be more than happy to give you a membership number to our club. And it’s free too!

If I'm not mistaken - and I could be - our own man about combos and all things that Rumble - @G-Dog has a GTX-7 and a Studio 40. Perhaps he can lend a hand.


Hey, @ddarrell2! I'm sorry I overlooked your post. I do, indeed, have a GTX-7 footswitch with my Rumble Studio 40. Unfortunately, due to The 'Rona, and other assorted catastrophies, I haven't played with it as much as I would like, or should have. However, I would be happy to fire it up and check out your procedures to see if I get the same results. Would you please, ... . . . .

1, Be sure you've followed instructions in the GTX-7 Manual linked in the Rumble Stage & Studio Links section of the Rumble Club Wiki page.

B. Please send me a Private Message (PM) here on TB describing the trouble you're having, with specific steps and procedures I can duplicate to verify, or refute, your results. [PM of such tech specifics would be more respectful to everyone else here, I think.]

iii. I may be able to find another Rumbler, or two, that can also try it and verify/refute your results.​

I look forward to hearing from you.
- G

You need to go read the PJB thread on whether they’re all that. Our buddy, red- strand, gave his a great review. It was an interesting read.
I have a trio of v3 Rumbles: 40, 100, and 200c. I'm set for life.(unless I go to Cleveland for that Kasino extension speaker)

GP, we know you, you’re just teasing your buds here. If I lived any closer, I’d drive over, we’d jump in the old Aerostar minivan, and it’d be: DESTINATION CLEVELAND!

I’d probably have to stop and use the restroom once or twice though...

I would love to be able to justify getting it. My R200c is more than I'm likely to ever need in the future, but dang, would it be cool to have.:cool:
