Turn up! There’s plenty of headroom





Two things happen when you add more power to an amplifier: it increases the amount of air it can move and adds more headroom before breakup. And for you, the player, that means you can play louder without worrying about muddying your tone. Fender equipped the solid-state Rumble 800 with a Class-D for maximum efficiency. Plus, the Rumble 800 comes with a pair of 10-inch Eminence neodymium speakers and a switchable compression horn. When you’re playing your new Rumble 800, you can crank it up without sacrificing your carefully crafted tone.





Choose from three selectable voicings





Tonal versatility isn’t a problem when you’re rocking the Rumble 800. This combo amp offers three selectable amp voicings to help you dial in your tone quicker than ever. Choose between bright (adds a treble “zing” to the sound), contour (low-end boost), or vintage (classic bass tone with deep lows and vintage character). Add in the 4-band EQ, and you have some serious tone sculpting potential at your fingertips. If you’re a player that needs tons of tonal versatility, the Rumble 800 is a great choice.





An awesome performance and practice tool





The Rumble 800 is a versatile amp that excels in any musical situation. With its massive 800-watt power handling, it’s capable of moving enough air to fill medium-sized venues. What’s more, it has a balanced line output that allows you to run directly into a mixing board or PA. You don’t have to be a gigging musician to take advantage of the Rumble 800’s direct output, either. For practice at home, take advantage of the Full/Low output switch that toggles you down to bedroom-appropriate volumes. You’ll also appreciate the built-in headphone output and auxiliary input for jamming along to external music.
