If there's one company that truly stands on tradition, it's Fender, so it feels only natural that the Rumble 100 delivers a full, rich sound that works beautifully at home and, thanks to its generous power, holds its own effortlessly when playing with others. It comes with a broad set of features that opens up a wide palette of modern and vintage tones, giving its owner plenty of room to explore. With the amplifier and speaker combined in a single housing, the Rumble 100 stays comfortably compact, and its modern Class D power amp keeps the whole unit surprisingly light, making it easy to carry wherever it needs to go.
The Fender Rumble 100 combines a 12" Eminence speaker with a lively 100-watt Class D amplifier, creating a powerful core sound that can be shaped to personal taste through a range of flexible features. Its responsive four-band EQ section lets users fine-tune the bass, low mids, high mids, and treble, while three dedicated switches add further character by brightening the top end, introducing a warm vintage flavour or dialling back the mids with a gentle boost of both the bass and treble. For players who prefer a touch of grit, the overdrive can be engaged by button or footswitch, with both intensity and volume easily adjustable. There is also a DI output that makes it easy to connect the amp directly to a mixing desk or audio interface, making it just as useful for recording as it is for practice. Covered with black vinyl and with a silver front grille, the Fender Rumble 100 also carries a look that feels authentic and gives the combo a presence that already hints at something much larger.
The Fender Rumble 100 is built for ambitious beginners who want a generous amount of power, a rich core sound, and plenty of tonal variety right from the outset, encouraging them to explore and shape their own style as they grow. At the same time, it's equally appealing to bassists who need a compact practice combo that still has enough sonic muscle to keep up with moderately loud bands or ensembles without drums. The option to connect the Rumble 100 directly to a computer via its DI output adds another layer of usefulness, making home recording sessions simple and inviting for anyone who wants to capture ideas with ease.
Fender is without doubt one of the most legendary guitar and amplifier manufacturers of all time. The company was founded in 1946 by its namesake Leo Fender († 1991), whose innovative ideas brought a breath of fresh air into the musical world. His Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass, and Jazz Bass are not only classics – they also continue to shape the styles of musicians in countless genres to this day. Timeless Fender amplifier models such as the Bassman, Twin, Deluxe, and Princeton also enjoy a stellar reputation. Besides maintaining its classic product portfolio, however, the company is also constantly developing new products that make Fender a driving force in today’s music industry.
When starting to play an instrument, it's often tempting to continue practising late into the night, but this can quickly lead to problems if parents, siblings, flatmates, or neighbours begin to complain. The Fender Rumble 100 addresses this problem with a headphone jack that automatically mutes the speaker as soon as the headphones are plugged in, making late-night practice possible without disturbing anyone. To make practice sessions as effective as possible, the combo can also be connected to a sound source such as a drum machine or mobile phone via the AUX input, allowing players to jam along to their favourite songs, drum loops, or a simple click track.
