Review on 🔊 Fender Rumble 40 v3 Bass Combo Amplifier: Unleash Powerful Bass Tones by Kyle Ross

I have played all five fender rumble combinations listed in the title at home. I needed two amps - the first for home practice and maybe for stage or church performances, should sound great at all volumes. The second is a travel amp for jamming with my acoustic friends. Here you need a decent sound from the smallest possible box and a good, full-fledged sound at low volumes, because acoustics (including me) are suspect to amplifiers. I settled on 100 and 25 but if I could only afford one amp it would be 40. Here's the summary: 200 is amazing sound and volume but WAY too much amp for home use. It's "only" 140 watts per speaker, but even at low power it shook my brain cell. The huge 15-inch speaker sounds smooth at the lowest, "home" volume, which cannot be said of other amplifiers. I guess this is a great stage amp for a medium/large room but not for your home. .100 - Amazing sound, still way more amp than I need in my house but I get a nice tone and it sounds great at low volume controls (bass, low-mid, high-mid and treble). Three filter buttons - I like "bright" and "vintage" together. "Contour" is a muted tone that I don't like and I don't use overdrive very often (although I bought a footswitch just for fun). This amp keeps watch. 40 - Nice big, full sound. and I could have had it easy to control for my main amp controls are the same as the 100 and 200.25 - Great sound out of the small box but definitely deeper than the 40. No gain control, three tone controls (bass/mid/treble) instead of four, and the only filters are contour and non-adjustable overdrive, neither of which I like, but I get a nice warm tone with the tone controls, and (most importantly) the low B on my 5-string sounds good This little amp can rumble a lot I keep this one for my acoustic jams 15 - Just not good enough and that's the only disappointment in the lineup The tone is small and thin, it crackles and crackles at higher volumes and doesn't get along with the B string at all. If you want a really tiny box and only play at a very low volume, that's fine, but spend the extra twenty bucks and get 25. Two stars for Rumble 15. Everybody else gets five stars, and everyone's a great one amplifier at a great price. The 200 model is perhaps an exception to this rule - it's $150 more expensive than the 100 model, but delivers just 40 watts more speakers. This speaker is 15 inches, though, compared to 12 inches at 100, so it might be worth it. The prize for the best price is definitely around 25 - great sound for a hundred euros and a small box! , you really don't need more than 40. Tip: Don't buy an amp or other instrument unless you can try it and return it. I'd stick with 200 if it wasn't for my music store's excellent return policy. I tried five amps and returned three and my only charge was $18 to ship Rumble 15 back to Revain. Update October 2018: I bought a Fender Rumble Studio 40 last spring and it is now my favorite amp. Great sound (read my review) and love the endless variety of amp models and tones.
