Fender Rumble 800 Combo

My son bought the Rumble 800 as he needed an amp that he can use at home for practice and home studio recording, at his music course rehearsals, for small gigs as main sound, and backline / monitor for bigger gigs with a house P.A.

The 800 combo has exactly the features we wanted. We use it with a HX Stomp pedal so the Fender Stage 800 just adds complexity and duplicates the modelling features, whereas this 800 combo does one job very well. This Rumble 800 "just" works as a normal amp, we can share it with other bassists and they just plug in and play.

At home he sometimes uses headphones. He often uses a HX Stomp pedal and can plug it into the Fender 800 Input or into the Effects Return depending what he is trying to achieve at the time. He records and composes on his laptop so the DI from the Fender 800 is great for home studio as well as for Front of House PA at gigs.

And this thing is lighter and louder than all the alternatives we looked at.

Using the Stomp pedal into the effects return allows him to model other amps and just use this Fender Rumble 800 combo as a big power amplifier. But on other gigs he can leave the pedal at home and just plug the bass into the amp input. So he now has a very versatile rig that is portable enough and powerful enough for any situation... if you need something louder there is probably a big PA in the venue... or you can stack this thing on a Fender 2x10 cab and really shake the place.

One negative I have seen mentioned is that this thing has an internal fan, and some people say it is noisy. We have not noticed that as a problem at all. The fan slows down when the amp is under light load and is barely audible. And when the amp is cranked up the internal fan is the last thing on your mind :-D
