So... I followed all the update instructions, using Wifi and USB, and what I get on my Rumble 800 is "Version 1.0.2 / Base 02.12". Which doesn't seem to be at all what I expected to see. Where did I go wrong?

Shouldn't I have used the Mustang USB update patch? If not - where's the dedicated Rumble one?

Why isn't there a specific Rumble one for people like me who are reluctant to proceed when they're asked to apply a firmware patch that's named differently than their device?

Why can't the whole update process be managed via USB?

How do I upgrade my Rumble to the current version without any problems?

There has been a lot of difficulty with updates. A Fender Rumble Club member over on talkbass opened a support ticket, and here is what it was.

OK, the update is applied to my Studio now. Here's what we wound up doing. Instead of just hitting the encoder button and the power switch, hit the middle button to the left of the encoder button also. So middle-encoder-power. It will display the searching for updates, downloading... but will not hang there.

A word of warning. They have changed the menus on the amp to consolidate things. This was mentioned in passing in the changelist under the effects section. The update didn't install incorrectly, you just need to find where they moved things.

So, did my post help you, dawnrazor? I guess not. I checked his profile and saw that he came back and read my very helpful answer. Yet not a thank you, or your post was very helpful. No, nothing like that at all. Just another good for nothing duffus. Yet I am told not to grow weary of doing good. So I shan't.

:wink:

Wow... I didn't know was supposed to take my amp with me while travelling abroad to check out any tips as soon as they are posted...

Anyway, thanks for the reply. I'll respond to it after I checked it out on my amp. Which may not be within the next twelve seconds...

So, I finally tried out the tip, but unfortunately it didn't work - the update failed again. I guess the base firmware version (as shown by the amp) is too low for new updates, but that's all I get from the patching utility.

Anyway, thanks for trying to help.

dawnrazor and anyone needing help updating your Rumble, please contact support at https://tone-support.fender.com/hc/en-u ... _id=181566 so we can troubleshoot.

One easy thing to always try (to repeat what linnin mentioned above) if you are having trouble doing an update is to do a 'Force Update' on the amp...

1. Turn the amplifier off.
2. Press and hold the Encoder button and the left middle soft-key simultaneously and turn the amplifier on. Hold the buttons for at least 5 seconds and release.

Well, I tried all the different update procedures that I could find in the manual, online and which were suggested to me - even by support. Unfortunately, they fell pretty silent when I told them their magic trick didn't work either...
