Fender Rumble 100 Reviews

Amazing Amp both for Practicing and Gigs

As a keyboard player that plays bass for fun this was a suuper good investment. I have yet to use this amp for gigs where i play my bass, cause i just used it for practice. But in avenues without PAs it sounds awesome as an amp for my keyboard, which i didn't expect, and i have been gigging with it and my keyboard alot. So a big thumbs up to fender for this one

Good bass amp for the moeny

after using the rumble 15 i decided to try out the rumble 100w its a great practice amp to say the least its very versatile and i love the features it comes with, however the only feature i stay away from using is the extra 3 switches you get (bright, vintage , midscoop kinda sound,) . it is also light for the amp which is great if you plan on using it for gigs or you're planning to travel with it. I feel like its also great with effects pedals if you plan on using it its a great combination. i used it for recording also and had no issues with it and has a great sound.

Clean and loud

Exactly as I hoped. This amp is light, we'll built and produces a clean and loud sound that will serve as a great platform for experimenting with effects later. I use it for home practice, sometimes also in a split amp setup (another signal going through an octave up+distortion to a guitar amp). Not many features but I didn't buy it for these (katana bass might be a good option if you want more features in a combo amp). As for the volume, it is PLENTY loud for home practice. I don't go beyond 4 before things start shaking. One would say it's overkill for home use, I would agree but I wanted low ends. And I got them!

Worth the money

I've been using this amp with my bass and guitar and the sound is so naturally wonderful i am still perplexed.

Fender Rumble 100 Rocks!!!

The Fender Rumble 100 sounds great.

It is super light and small, but packs a solid punch.

Very loud, and looks vintage, raw, super cool!

Excellent et leger

Tres bon ampli malgré une panne d alimentation.

Couldn't be happier!

Works perfectly as a home amp, rehearsal amp, and gig amp, especially with the DI option. Works perfectly with every footswitch I've used with it, and takes effects super well too. Looks good, sounds good, and light as a feather! Amazing!

It sounds great and has a lot of tonal options to shape the sound I want. Loud enough to shake the windows even at low master volume but haven't tested nowhere near full volume yet. With FX loop and XLR out (+ ground lift) it has all the core features I need and is really very lightweight.

The only issue I had with my combo, is that the four legs are not well leveled and thus it doesn't sit sturdily on the floor. Probably a QC thing on mine that doesn't affect the rest of the amp of course.

Overal I am happy with this.

Worthy!

Very light and loud i like it

Lightweight

Buy it if you need something to carry easily. But do not expect more than a decent sound. It sounds a bit "fake". Overall it is an unsefull tool, as a backup amp for small gig.

Fender Rumble

Super quality. sound quality is very good and very powerful. im very happy and impressed

Great small gig and practise amp

While not loud enough for a proper gig with loud guitars and heavy hitting drummers, its defo good enough for small gigs (cafes, intimate concerts) and practise as well as studio work. It sounds stellar and provides great sound and you can dial it in as you please. It does have that fender sound, and is impressive and with adequate headroom!

Surprisingly lightweight

Got this bass combo for rehearsals and I was totally taken away by how lightweight this unit is - makes you wonder if it is empty inside! Sound is great and provides loads of variations. Only downside is that, although this is a 100W amp, it was maxed out in the bigger rehearsal rooms and still didn't feel very loud. (And our band is not very loud)

A great light amp that punches above its weight.

The first thing that struck me about this amp is just how light it is. It only weights around 22 pounds, which is practically nothing and very surprising for a 100 Watt amp. Of course I am never surprised by the decent sound quality from a Fender amp, but it is rather good considering the light weight of the amp. This is a great light amp, perfect for home use, practice and even gigging. And despite its light weight, it punches well above its weight. All in all, a great combo amp.

I can see why people love it now!

So I got this amp not too long ago, after buying it kind of on a whim based on the overall reviews online and peoples recommendations.

Let me tell you, I am new to this, okay? I got my Jackson 5 string bass plugged in to this thing and it sounds lovely! It feels great, it sounds perfect and it has all the beginner EQ options that you would need out of an AMP. I was considering other combos like the VOX VX50BA, the small Markbass Micromark 801, EBS Classic Session 60 but I got the rumble instead.

Some more notes:

- People praise it for its low weight, it isn't "heavy" but it's not that light either. I am not a big woman at all though, even my bass is heavy for me so... yeah, just careful if you're getting it if you're tiny :)

- The knobs. I wasn't sure they would be of high quality or if they would feel sturdy but they do! They absolutely do. And they notch nicely at noon.

- The size. Definitely bigger than I anticipated from multiple photos/videos, it might seem small if you're just seeing it online but in person? That thing isn't that tiny at all.

- Sound and features... simply great. Outstanding. It's warm but it's mallable to the point where you could pretty much make it sound however you want it to sound within reason. It's loud, punchy, warm, it's just perfect. It shakes my room, too. It's a beast for its size, definitely!!!

- The "Fender look". I wasn't a fan of the typical Fender look but honestly it looks much nicer and more professional in person than I would think it would. I thought it looked okay online but it looks and feels great in person, so yay! I'm happy with it.

Overall I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonable amp for practice/small gigs. It's a perfect gift for a bassist who needs a new amp which is well priced, too. Thanks for reading :)

My home practice amp

Can't think of a better amp to practice with. The bright and vintage buttons give you more versatility to further tweak your sound. Loud enough for home practice but not loud enough to jam with a band especially if you have a loud drummer. I love this amp. Would have given this amp a 5/5 if the buttons (vintage and bright) where knobs instead.

Not strong enough

It's strong enough for home practice. Definitely not strong enough for even a small venue if you are in a rock band. You'll need to drive it through same further amplification for that. The sound quality is really great though. It's also very light and easy to carry.

very versatile amp

I'm really liking this amp, its a transistor amp so you can get a decent sound even at a manageable low volume. I haven't tried going very loud since it gets plenty loud if you have neighbours.

it takes pedals like a champ, the direct out is a winner for going direct with the line out to the mixing board or even recording at home.

If you dial back the bass eq a bit you can even play guitar though it. I recorded even some with the line out and added a cab sim in my daw, and guess what it sounds phat but still clear.

All in all this thing is a real jack of all trades, go for it!

Lightweight and killer sound

Bought this for small gigs and for a house amp, great sound and weights nothing. Surprisingly good with guitar as well, but that tone... And having a balanced out is so nice for when you need that extra punch from the PA!

I bought this amp mainly because I needed a light amp for practice and small gigs. Since then this amp has excelled. Not only it sounds really good, it is super easy to carry and it also looks really cool.

The drive is a nice to have, and with a footswitch, it becomes an extra effect for my solo gigs.

Speaking of solo gigs, it also has an effect loop, ideal for when I need to bring my pedalboard.

On the downside, it's not very loud and will sound crunchy when pushed, so do not expect it to perform 100% on you punk rock gig.

All in all, a very nice amp for the price.
