I’m a jazz player and I use my Dad’s vintage Starcaster semi-hollow. The Fender Rumble 40 is probably the best all-purpose gigging/practice amp. The only thing I occasionally add is a reverb pedal.
I agree with you 100%. I own a fender rumble 25 and originally I bought it for base. I plugged my guitar into it one day and I could not believe the sound. It comes as close to the fender baseman, the old ones the original ones that I've ever heard. I own 11 amplifiers and the fender rumble is the one I prefer to record with most. And it's still a kick-ass bass amp as well. Thank you for posting.
I played my Tele yesterday through the Rumble 15....I was stunned...(no, I am not a 15 year thrasher but a 45 year jazz oriented player..) it was fantastic!! What a beautiful clean tone, took pedals well...seriously awesome home amp!!
I bought this to use for my keyboard and started plugging my guitar into it with a bunch of pedals, including an amp simulator and I was also surprised how good it sounded.
I concur 100% with the poster. I play my 7 stringer through this amp and it is an absolute killer. The closest thing to a tube amp without tubes. Love it.
Couldn't agree more i found a Fender Rumble 100 15x1 on a job i was doing brought it home cleaned it up and plugged in several of my guitars and wow I was suprised with the deep rich tones and fyi Jackson Guitars go wonderfully with the rumble 100. Simply bliss on the ears 100% Great Video and content!
I bought my Rumble 15 as a practice amp for my basses. Later, I got the same "Bassman" idea: if a bass amp could sound so good then, why not now? And bass response is tough for small amps to get, anyway. I liked it for jazz at first with humbucker guitars, but it really came into its own when I got a Danelectro FAB echo and ran it through it, and it just became a monster! Beautiful, fat tone, just don't crank the treble up too high or it sounds weird. The other thing: run a distortion pedal and a Les Paul through a Rumble 15 and you would swear it's a more expensive rig. Pure Fender rage.
Yes! I have been playing through my $100 fender rumble for a couple years now. It sounds surprisingly good for clean tone, especially with a nice reverb pedal. It also works really good for metal guitar, gives it an awesome low end.
Sure, I would start with treble at 1 o'clock, mid at 11 o'clock, and low at 1 o'clock, then tweak it from there depending on what guitar and distortion pedals/fx that you use. Each guitar and effects could require different settings to get the perfect sound for that setup. But high boost, mid cut, and bass boost are usually the starting point for metal. With this amp you'll want to be careful with adding too much bass though because its already a bass amp. Hope that helps.
Depending on the guitar you use and the sound you want, the ideal settings could vary. I like to start with all knobs at 12 o'clock. Single coils have a lot of high frequencies, so I like to turn the treble down a little, maybe to 11 o'clock. I would turn the bass down a bit because this amp obviously provides a lot of low bass frequencies. From there I would play with the mid knob back and forth, as well as the pickup select switch on your guitar to find your ideal sound. For clean sounds like neosoul or jazz I personally like to use the bridge pickup or bridge/middle pickup combo. Also maybe turn the tone knobs down on the single coil guitars a bit and see if that smooths out the sound a little.
Makes sense. Bass amps are usually supposed to be clean and transparent Great point that for the same price point you get a bigger louder speaker in the bass amp!
I allways loved the sound of guitars on bass amps, discovered by mistake also when I was young. Thanks for this video budy, got my follow. Music has no rules, and that`s the key of great records and master pieces.
One advantage with these for gigging is they are light as a feather. Bass amps (in their heavier forms) have been attracting guitar players for years. Example: Fender Bassman, Supro-Thunderbolt, and the Marshall 1969 Bass 100. I have the Harmony version of the Supro-Thunderbolt, the Harmony 420. They were made by the same people, with the same parts, in the same factory, but just different cosmetics. These days there are so many reverb pedals and tremolo pedals, I think it would be possible to do a blind test and fool a lot of people.
Just inherited a Rumble 100. I've messed around on a Hartke 30 I had and got good tone. Takes some dialing in but yeah, the rumble is pretty sweet for sixers.
The drive channel on the Rumble 100 is the sweetest I've ever heard. It also LOVES a DS-1. Put a reverb through the FX loop and you're good to go. Loud as hell and light as a feather.
Brilliant, I have the Rumble 25 and never thought about plugging any of of my single coil Fender guitars into it until now, and yes it sounds very good for clean playing, will have to try the pedal board out and see what happens, thx for the tip !
I've also used it for my Strat, along with a small Orange Crush 20 amp, and yes, this is a better, brighter, louder with cleaner overdrive option to the Orange practice amp. Just one caveat: The Contour (a mid-frequency cut for slapping and rounding the sound) switch will behave oddly with a guitar. It produces a strange low-volume phasing sound when the Strat is plugged. Operates correctly with my Ibanez bass. Probably due to the single coils 60Hz cycle hum. Also, pedals sound AWESOME. My Swollen Pickle fuzz stompbox loves this amp.
Absolutely! This amp series is everything James says and more. I just got a Fender Rumble 100 a few weeks ago to replace a 27 year old Hartke Kick-Back 120 that finally died. The Rumble 100 is louder and cleaner than the Hartke, and can even cut thru the cacophony coming from my drummer, who thinks he's the Mighty Thor beating his hammer on the skins, and my "This one goes up to 11" guitarist. And then, I tried plugging a Stratocaster, into it, and OMG it's stunning! Its everything a Fender Deluxe is, minus the effects. Use it with a standard distortion pedal, and you've got a combination that can't be beat by anything else under $1000. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! (as the infomercials say) It only weighs 22lbs! That is not a misprint or a typo. 22 lbs. You can hand carry it into a club/studio/wherever with your guitar/bass slung over your back in a gig bag, without needing to see a chiropractor afterwards.
A few years ago I built a simple single coil lap steel guitar from plans I found online. Just for fun. Played it (poorly!) in a cheapo guitar practice amp. Sounded ok. Fast forward to a few months ago. Got a bass guitar and a Fender rumble 100. Bass is fun and sounds great with the rumble. Then one day I looked at the lap steel and wondered: what if? I plugged into the rumble and WOW!. Then I added an overdrive in front of the amp and OMG! You seriously have to try this or slide guitar in a rumble! The 25 sounds great, the 40 gives you more options, better EQ and overdrive, the 100 even more options. Try them you won't be disappointed! ;)
Since my tube amp is kaput I’ve been using my rumble 200 with a 2x12 guitar cab extension cab - and damn. I may never go back. Extremely great pedal platform.
I bought a Rumble 15 for my bass and was surprised at how good it sounded with my guitars and pedals. Combined with my DS1 or TS9 it's a fantastic option for home practice, and that's not turning it up past 9 o'clock.
do you think its a good amp for grunge/alternative rock? trying out to get the 40watt version with a larger speaker with a boss ds-2. im looking forward to play nirvana stuff, smashing pumpkins, pixies, soundgarden and many others
@@chrisari101 honestly I’m not sure, a ds2 would give you distortion for those genres, but ideally you’d also need fuzz (especially for pumpkins) and reverb. Considering the expense of those additional pedals you might be better off looking at something like a boss katana.
fortunenately, im looking to get pedals cause i really love trying them out and built my own pedalboard, i was considering to get the boss katana, but i really prefer the warmer tone of the rumble and i like the overdrive and the way you can manage it. i still can't get to like the tone of the boss katana on its own, i higly respect it as an amp, and i think its the best go to for economic gear and i fully understand why people love it but its just not on my taste. @@jkeating7906
I'm a bass player but I've switched to rhythm guitar in a rockabilly band. Not having a guitar amp, out of necessity I plugged my Strat into my Rumble 25. I couldn't believe the tone. I have played small gigs with it and it works great. Easily keeps up with the rest of the band.
What size speaker would the bass level be equivalent too? Btw the reason this works is most likely because Guitarists are a lot more resistant to change whereas new speaker/amp tech has been packed into those basses. Think of how much bass a small bluetooth speaker can pump out vs. a relatively large 8 inch guitar speaker that sounds anemic.
Personal experience/opinion. With single coils, engage the contour and distortion buttons. Humbuckers don't use the distortion button. It also works well with multi effects pedals, but not individual pedals designed to drive tubes, obviously. Like he says, its not as good as a good quality tube combo, but definitely usable and for the price, it can't be beat.
Been beating one to death for, eh, little over a year and a half I guess. Bass and guitar. OUTSTANDING for the price. Lightweight. Loud for the the specs. Sounds better than it has any right to. You think 1x8 and 25W and $100 would be shit, but it's fantastic for what it is. It's not just me being biased. Folks always ask me what it is and they're shocked when I tell them. Definitely a great deal. Best tone a hundred bucks can buy.
Try the Ampeg BA-108 as well. Has really nice tone for guitar and bass although no built in distortion. Cost me around $100 new a few years ago. Has a line out as well although I'd probably put a mic on it at a gig as I think the 8" speaker and cab are significant part of this amp's tone. Having said all of this, I'm going to give the Rumble 100 a try next time I visit the music store as I'd like something that might work unmic'd at a gig.
Exellent Video.I live in Belgium, otherwise i go straight to your shop! I amm interested by playng trough a bass amp with my Tele since i wasn't convinced by the full lamp expensive amps for guitar i tried. I pluged into an old Peavey basic 50 recently and was surprised to hear new harmonnics.. But this peavey is a bit damaged.. So what about the rumble 25 or 40 with a guitar my friend? Thanks for the vidéo any way!
Use my rumble 20 with xotic transparent drives, EP and RC and compression, and it sounds great…. Gonna get the 40 watt.. paired with a little vox explorer.. SG in C# and LP in Eb..
@@CasinoGuitars Just bought my first Fender amp yesterday, a Mustang 2 40w for almost nothing. Talk about a upgrade. I just went from something similar to a Frontman 10g to a Line 6 Spider IV this past Friday and then bought the Fender yesterday. Went from 6 to 8 to now a 12 inch speaker. I'm expecting it to be quite different from the tiny practice amp I've been using.
I ran a joyo american sound and a cheap spring reverb into a rumble 25 for a while. Preferred it over my bass breaker 15 especially having kids in the house. Upgraded to a rumble 100 for my bass and guitar!
I´ve been playing with this amp for like 4 months, my brother plays bass and he gave it to me, just to get back to the guitar cuz I had to sell mine long time ago. The thing is, this amp gives you a BEAUTIFUL clean sound, and with that overdrive is good enough to get a good attack. just get a Boss Ds-1 and you´ll be done with an awesome sound quality. Just my opinion :)
Very cool. I’ve heard about guys using bass heads for guitar. I like the idea but thought it might get lost in the mix with the bass. I suppose if you EQ’d it correctly you wouldn’t be in the same frequency range.
Daniel Estrellado the 40 watt is even better in my opinion because it has a line out function that makes it great for recording or running direct into a sound board.
@@jamesvillone9911 have you played through both? I'm concerned more about tone more than features since I already have a Rumble 200 for my bass rig. I noticed that the 40 watt has a different EQ section with the 4 band EQ(lo-mid and hi-mid) while this one has a 3 band...are they different sounding amps??? which do you like better in terms of sound?
@@danielguitar5150 I have played through both. In fact, I prefer the 40 watt over the 20 watt. I haven't been able to notice a difference in tone. They are voiced very similarly. However, I haven't been able to test the 40 watt at stage volume so there may be a difference in tone when cranked loud. My guess would be that upon further inspection the 40 watt would be a little more detailed across the frequency spectrum.
- Incredibly clean and fat sound - Durable as fuck (Running a guitar through the amp even with pedals is unlikely to ever blow the speaker) and rugged. - Clean tones with Single Coils sound like Jesus - Relatively light with heavy sound
just bought the 40w after seeing this video : instant regret! Maybe you can shape some regular clean tones with a reverb and a delay, but nothing special, other than that, as you plug in some pedals the sound it's soo cheap and "plastic feel", no matter if its overdrive or distorsion.. any other cheap solid state amp will do a better work.. I am going to return it..
Reminds me of when I used to have this old Acoustic 270 head and 1x15 cab that I'd use for a band that I played bass a couple of years ago. I plugged a strat into in and holy shit, the thing sounded great!
I was asked to sit in with a band at a small live club one night and the only amp available to plug into was a Rumble 200. The sound blew me away, and I plan to get one for smaller gigs. I get all my fx from pedals anyway
I’m a jazz player and I use my Dad’s vintage Starcaster semi-hollow. The Fender Rumble 40 is probably the best all-purpose gigging/practice amp. The only thing I occasionally add is a reverb pedal.
That’s awesome! I guess it’s kind of similar to how the bassman gained popularity for guitarists if you think about it.
Right, im about to pick one up for $70 and convert it to tube.

Precisely. Shhh!

did you had the chance to play with an overdrive pedal??
This is just perfect for plugging (one, or some of) those preamp pedals that can simulate/emulate other famous amps
I bought this to use for my keyboard and started plugging my guitar into it with a bunch of pedals, including an amp simulator and I was also surprised how good it sounded.
Where would you plug the preamp pedal? Through input or effects loop?
@@CarlitoM77 I think through input makes more sense, but both can be done, probably, you just gotta follow your ears

does it takes pedals (with guitar) well?
@@TheyCallMeRo yeah it does
You’re right I played bass and when I started playing guitar it was amazing. Wide tone and versatile sounds
Yes! I have been playing through my $100 fender rumble for a couple years now. It sounds surprisingly good for clean tone, especially with a nice reverb pedal. It also works really good for metal guitar, gives it an awesome low end.
Can you tell me how to sound good with a single coil?
Im having problems with the bass(too much bass)
Would you mind sharing your settings for metal?
Sure, I would start with treble at 1 o'clock, mid at 11 o'clock, and low at 1 o'clock, then tweak it from there depending on what guitar and distortion pedals/fx that you use.

I definitely agree and discovered this about 3 years ago myself. Rumble 25 baby. Definitely handles bass better.

- Durable as fuck (Running a guitar through the amp even with pedals is unlikely to ever blow the speaker) and rugged.
- Clean tones with Single Coils sound like Jesus
- Relatively light with heavy sound

just bought the 40w after seeing this video : instant regret!
Maybe you can shape some regular clean tones with a reverb and a delay, but nothing special, other than that, as you plug in some pedals the sound it's soo cheap and "plastic feel", no matter if its overdrive or distorsion.. any other cheap solid state amp will do a better work..
I am going to return it..
Using a Custom Shop guitar on a 100 dollar bass amp XD
Yeah I'm gonna get 800W and turn my hood into the lake...
My drummer blew up last week
same
Reminds me of when I used to have this old Acoustic 270 head and 1x15 cab that I'd use for a band that I played bass a couple of years ago. I plugged a strat into in and holy shit, the thing sounded great!
awesome
whatever happened to this guy?
Be really good lol

Thanks for the comment not sure why i had 1x12 good catch!
Very bluesy amp.
I was asked to sit in with a band at a small live club one night and the only amp available to plug into was a Rumble 200. The sound blew me away, and I plan to get one for smaller gigs. I get all my fx from pedals anyway
