@michael_caz_nyc Thank you for your comments. Yes, the Rumble 100 is a great amp. I agree it has nearly a perfect balance of features, power, and weight savings.
That's some good playing there. I have the Rumble 40 and the Rumble 200 head (discontinued) w/ the 210 and 115 cabs. They sound great. By the sound of it you have a sound you like from the settings on the amp. Fender did something different when they set up the preamps in the 40 through to the 800 amps. With all settings at noon, Vintage, Contour and Bright off/out, you're getting a very scooped mid range, with stronger, boosted lows and highs. Some find this a bit muddy sounding. To get an actual flat setting, try the tone controls set to 10, 2, 2, 10 (clock settings) Bass, Low Mids, High Mids and Treble. Adjust to taste and room sonics to taste from here. My favorite tones are not far from these settings and I rarely need use the enhancement buttons. This is a more balanced tone and sits in a mix better than the mid scooped tone. As for the Overdrive, I've seen it used as a mute button (with footswitch), by turning to Level to 0. I use it occasionally with the drive set very low and the Level set to unity with the volume, for adding a bit of hair to the sound.
Thank you for your kind comments and tips. I will give those settings a try. I do have a footswitch and have used it to trigger the overdrive, very effective set up.
I have the same amp. It struggles a bit with the low B on my 5-string when I have it fairly loud but it sounds great overall. I also use it for guitar with a Nux multi effects pedal in front of it.
Love my Rumble 100 = it's a "Little Beast" only 22lbs too. Lightweight, portable, No Hernia & Sounds Amazing. oNe LovE from NYC

@@thebionicbassplayer Agree with your assessment 100%. - it's exactly how I feel about it.

@rupe82 Thank you for the comment. I tried my 5 string on it and it sounded good.
