OK. Alright. (sniff) I'm just about recovered from the lack of new Fender bass amplification at NAMM last week. Well, almost, that is. :(

But, I see that the Mustang amps got 3, count 'em 3, new models! 2, of which, come with a new Fender TONE 3.0 App, and 1 even includes a new 7-button footswitch!! Well, I'm happy for the 6-stringers, as I am one of them, too. (But my Cyber Deluxe with foot controller is still doing just fine, thankyewverymuch.) :D

Now, to the titular question. Will the existing Rumbles Stage & Studio get to use the New Fender TONE 3.0 App, and/or the 7-button footswitch? What new features does the 3.0 and footswitch have, anyway? :?:

I mean, it's bad enough that the Mustang GT40 even gets a Fender amp cover and the Rumble 40 does not. But, must the bass amps continue this neglect? Now it seems the Bassman 500 may be discontinued without a replacement, too? :shock:

Come on. What do you say? 8)

I'm very happy to report that Tom Bowlus, of Bass Gear Magazine, consulted his Fender sources on this subject and has confirmed, on another forum, that the new Fender TONE 3.0 App will, indeed be available to upgrade the Rumble Stage & Studio firmware giving them several new effects and functionality with the new 7-button footswitch!

This is good news for Rumble Stage & Studio owners from last week's Winter NAMM 2020. While it's not quite new amps, like the new Mustang amps, it is some new functionality for existing amps, which is what the WiFi connectivity has promised.

Thank you, Fender. Thankyewverymuch! :-)

Think I read in the Mustang GT forum here that Fender said the new TONE 3.0 App would be available the 25th of this month (meaning February), if I understood correctly.

Any other Rumble Studio or Stage owners here looking forward to the upgrade?

PS: The Mustang GT forum indicates that they have had quite a few problems, even with the firmware updates. They are hoping that the 3.0 upgrade solves some ongoing difficulties. I've not heard of such problems with the Rumbles! (Knock wood)

Dang!

Since we didn't get the TONE 3.0 App on February 25th, I searched for a new ETA. "End of March" is the date I'm now reading.

Anyone else?
