Fender Adds Bluetooth Streaming to Rumble Series Amps
Fender updated their Rumble V3 Series of bass amps with the Rumble Studio 40 and the Rumble Stage 800. The new amps bring the same wireless capabilities and presets as their Mustang GT guitar amplifiers to bass players in 40-watt and 800-watt packages.
“The amplifiers are also compatible with the free Fender Tone app,” Fender says, “making it easier than ever to download the latest updates, add new amp and effects models and access Fender artist-created presets alongside a community of dedicated players and music makers. Through the Tone App, which is WiFi and Bluetooth enabled, players can customize their tone so they can jam, sounding like their favorite artists. The Tone App makes it easier than ever not only to emulate the greatest artists but also for players to create their own tones.”
The Studio 40 is fitted with a single 10-inch driver and a compression tweeter for an output of 40 watts. The Rumble Stage 800 is a 2×10″ configuration at 800 watts. Both models have onboard technology offering over 15 amp models and 40 effects as well as an onboard 60-second looper and setlist support. For connectivity, it has Bluetooth audio streaming and control, stereo send and return, an aux input, XLR line output, USB output, and a headphone output.
