Rumble 200 : Lightweight, powerful, great sound with nice overdrive feature

11 years ago

I use this mainly as a practice amp (but at 200 watts it will definitely work for gigging at small venues). Before buying this I tried smaller rated amps for practice, but never felt happy with the distortion at even relatively low volumes. I was torn between the Rumble 100 and the 200, but eventually plumped for the 200 (which was quite a bit more expensive) on the basis that it would cater for all my needs without gasping for breath.

The build quality is excellent and it is surprisingly light - easy to carry up and down stairs and get into a car.

The 200 has the benefit of being able to be connected to external speakers (should you need that in a gigging environment) whereas you can't do that with the 100.

I particularly like the overdrive on the rumble - it gives a controlled distortion (not like actually overdriving a practice amp, where it just sounds wheezy) that really fills out the sound - great for all the Lemmy wannabees.

Bottom libne is this is a great amp for the money.
