The Fender Rumble 800 Stage enters a new category of combo amps, seamlessly blending the warmth of analogue bass amplification with the versatility of digital technology, making it an exceptional tool for anyone seeking a powerful partner on stage or in the studio. It offers a wide range of possibilities, including numerous amp and speaker simulations, 40 effects, Bluetooth, WiFi, and more, giving players virtually endless creative options. At the same time, it can function as a classic amplifier with an impressive 800 watts of power and a simple three-band EQ section, delivering the familiar feel of a traditional amp. Thanks to its modern Class D power amplifier, it also remains surprisingly lightweight, making it easier to transport and handle despite its remarkable output.
The Rumble 800 Stage is built around two 10" speakers, a switchable tweeter, and an 800-watt Class D amplifier, delivering 400 watts through its internal speakers, with the option to connect an additional cabinet to fully unleash its power. Its classic three-band EQ section allows for simple yet effective fine-tuning, giving players immediate control over their sound. From there, the possibilities expand dramatically, offering 16 amp simulations, 22 speaker simulations, and 40 effects that can be combined freely to suit any style. To simplify operation, a wide range of presets for different genres or special sounds are available, and with Fender's free proprietary app, users gain access to an ever-growing library of presets that can be downloaded directly via WiFi. The connectivity is equally impressive, featuring pre and post-DI, a stereo effects loop, AUX input, a headphone output, and streaming and control via Bluetooth, leaving virtually nothing to be desired.
Without a doubt, the Fender Rumble 800 Stage is designed for a new generation of bassists who aren't bound by vintage nostalgia and feel at ease with modern technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, and apps. It will appeal to players who want to explore the full diversity of the digital world while enjoying an amp that offers broad tonal flexibility and the ability to continuously expand, and with its impressive power and the option to connect an additional cabinet, the Rumble 800 Stage is also perfectly equipped to handle louder bands and more demanding genres, making it a versatile companion both on stage and in the studio.
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 recording at home or in the studio, players often wish they had access to every iconic bass amp and cabinet to capture their ideal sound, yet for most, that dream remains out of reach. The Fender Rumble 800 Stage offers a practical solution, delivering the tones of nearly every major amp in a compact package that can be accessed at the touch of a button or the turn of a jog wheel. Thanks to its pre and post-DI outputs, it can be connected directly to a mixing console or audio interface, allowing players to record their sound with professional-quality results. This combination of versatility and convenience makes the combo an ideal tool for ambitious bassists looking to explore a wide sonic palette without compromise.
