The only reason why I gave this amp head a 4.5 on feature its because they didn't put a mute knob that I liked on the Traynor head, but that's a little detail besides that WOW! I play blues and that vintage option is pretty sick! I loved it so much that I got the Rumble 40 for self practice and the 2X10 Cab to go with the 500 Head. I am now thinking about getting the 15 inch cab to finish off the stack. Good Job Fender on the Rumble

One thing missing is a pre-eq switch for the LIne Out. This is full of features it's strange that they forgot that important one for me. That is why I can't give a perfect score.

Whether amplifying a bass or an electric guitar this little 5lb jewel does it incredibly well. Nothing sounds bad through it to my ears. There's an incredible amount of variety in what it'll do tonally thanks to the 4-band EQ. For bass I tend to go for the "vintage" tone with boosted mids, though active basses sound a bit more life like without any of the tone shaping buttons engaged. Guitar I was able to dial in a very warm but sparkly tone without using any of the buttons. Those buttons do make a difference though, and using them in combination provides some interesting results. The OD is also really good, again for bass or guitar. I can't say enough good things about how they've done the gain structure and how the built in compression does it's thing. And while I run mine so that my outboard compressors are what do the compressing it's easy enough to use the amp itself to handle that. TalkBass has a Rumble club and wiki, there's great info there that helps in understanding how to make the amp sound a certain way. Plus it can be used without a cab as a straight up preamp or for practicing late at night or in an apartment or what have you. And there's an effects loop. Really all it's missing is a dedicated tuner out. The footpedal is also a must have addition. In short it's the best SS amp I've ever used, even for guitar I'm totally in love and don't feel the need to go for tubes. (I know, but really are tubes even worth having outside of the high-end of the professional side of being a musician?)

Great sounding amp! With that vintage button engaged, it sounds very close to my all tube YBA-1. I play metal rock and with a drum and boogie tripple(150w), that little 5 pound beast hook to a 4/10 and 1/15 is almost overkill! I run that amp idle, volume at around 3, and i get more than enough power to cut through the mix. I had the old version of rumble and this v3 series is way better, i highly recomand this amp!

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
