Rumble 100 : Light ,nice sounding amp!

11 years ago

I mostly bought this amp for the weight (only 10kg!) .Super light and not expensive!

It sounds ok ,well I mean very good and very tweakable but it's not very loud.

The overdrive is nice but I'd love a foot-switch bundled. I personally like the vintage switch, nice mid-low harmonics a bit compressed but it's matter of taste!

If you are facing into a loud-beast drummer this amp certainly will not follow up.

With right placement and some high-mid eq boosting it might keep up but will not rumble the floor!Also when playing really loud the amp "farts" so be prepared to cut some low frequencies...

Worth mentioning that the amp is also usable for guitar and since it plays nice from low volumes I love it!

Maybe I am unlucky ,but mine had some flaws such as the power cable socket was "buzzing" and the master volume control was "scratching".

I don't worry much ,since I am on 3 years warranty but even made in China it's a Fender and I expect descent quality.

To summarize:

If you want a loud bass amp check the 200W model. Else for the money,sound and being so portable buy it!
