I guess the Rumble 800 is supposed to come out in March. AMS doesn't have any listed yet, but a lot of times they don't until further down the road until it's first announced. I'll be curious to see what the word is going to be about it.

One good thing is that it is 2 ohm capable so you can daisy chain 4 x 8 ohm speaker cabinets.

Yeah, that or two 4 ohm cabs. It certainly gives you extra options.

And so it seems that both the Rumble 200 and 500 heads have been discontinued leaving only the 200 & 500 combos available in those wattage choices. The 200 head was disco'd a few months ago, but I wasn't expecting 500 to go.

Wow, I didn't know about that. I wonder if that's a permanent thing, or maybe they'll put out another version of those two options? A Generation 4, if it were.

A mid-range head with the new case design would be super easy to do. Say a Rumble 400 that was also 2 ohm capable. Same front ends as the V3's, so no difference there.

That's a kicker if they did drop the 500H.

I guess they figure the 800 will cover a broad spectrum of practical power usages.

I suppose so. Maybe the combos where a bigger seller, too. You're basically getting the 500 head with the cab when you get one, and you do have the option of adding another cab for a full stack. I don't know if the amp section is detachable or not, though. Some combos you can do that with.

No, I don't think they're detachable. Maybe the 200, and 500 heads were dropping off in sales. Look at the two of us buying amp heads just recently. You went with a more powerful Ampeg, and I went with a tube head.

True. Although, I would have gotten the Rumble 800, if I knew they were going to put one out. Oh well, I'm happy with what I got. If it craps the bed, at least I do have that other option.

The timing was a bit off for you to get a Rumble 800. They aren't out on the market yet, are they? Not until some time in March I believe was the announced release for the 800.

That's true, and that's even if they come out when they say they are supposed to. They've had serious delays with products in the past. AMS hasn't had anything listed for those yet. Speaking of them, I looked at the Fender page, and the Rumble 200 head is no longer listed, and they have the Rumble 500 head priced for $359.99, which is $40 less than it used to be. That's usually the first sign something is on the way out.
