I use a MasterEffects Super 800 Plus preamp with switchable boost/OD. For a top notch tubey clean, I'd go with a RedDI + separate OD, but that gets pricey and heavy.
For OD, I'm using a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe. Had the JHS Violet been out when I bought the Tumnus, I might have gone for that.
Overdue post, but sad to report my 200 wasn't quite doing it for me. Happily I found a solution, really just needed "moar stack". The boys have got a 200 and 500 to keep them snug:
Does that give enough SPL for a medium sized gig w/o PA support?
Assume regular rock or country music (no Reggae or EDM or DeathMetal).
How loud does your drummer play? How big of a Marshall stack does your guitarist use?
I'm not currently in a band, but I don't think I'd be in a high volume setting these days, so say restrained drummer and a restrained guitarist or two.How loud does your drummer play? How big of a Marshall stack does your guitarist use?
Yes, several Rumblers here use a pair of R100s. Actually, a lot more than that short search list found. But you can get the idea from those.
We also connect several other Rumbles, matched and unmatched, pairs and more, which also work very well together. You can build the modular rig you want!
Hi Steve
Left is a 2016 Flea bass (alder, rosewood) with Lavaguard pickguard and PU cover. Right is a 2019 MIJ (basswood, rosewood) with new Fralins and control plate.
I'm calling them Toffee Apple and Candy Apple
I haven’t had a chance to try, other than outdoors with 75-100 people dispersed amongst trees growing 6-10 feet apart, where it was fine. But the points @LeMaartien raises are key.
A pair of 200s or a 500 (especially with extension cab) would definitely do it but cost a good bit more.
If one doesn't care about them being the same size, a 100 and a 200 together are sweet, or use whichever one is sufficient.
Question: If I use a preamp pedal plugged into the fx return of my 500, can I still chain another Rumble by going from the 500's fx send to the fx return of the other Rumble?
In short, I'm wondering if going into the fx return of the 500 has already bypassed its fx send.

Send comes out of the internal EQ and preamp, and Return goes into the power amp. Yes, if you plug into Return, the internal EQ and Pre are bypassed.
Could use a reamp pedal to connect the DI out from the first Rumble to the Return of the second.
Just looked at the Rumble 500 manual. Says the Send is 1k impedance, and the Return is 22k. I'm sure the 200 is the same. I think it'd work fine if you made a parallel Y cable to come from the pre pedal to both rumble fx returns.
How about 4 R100c ??? Look nicer on stage !
