Fender Rumble LT25

That's it: this amp comes with everything you need. First, this amp delivers the proper deep sound of bass. My experience with practice amps smaller and cheaper than this one is that they just can't give the low frequencies and that vibration that feels all over your body. Second, as a modelling amp, it comes with a wide selection of different amp sounds. On top of that, it comes with many effects. And to keep everything easy, there are the presets, that is, combinations of amp+effect(s)+amp settings+effect(s) settings. Modelling amps without presets will not give you the tone you look for unless you know very well how to combine amps and effects and to choose the right settings. Here, you just select a preset and everything is set automatically so that you get the tone you wanted to. Put other way, you don't need to know much about effects and amp settings to get great tones. I imagine that very experienced players with large collections of amps and effects at home might feel a bit annoyed or jealous that it is now so easy to get the right tones. Indeed, anyone can get them as they are available in the amp out of the box and, on top of that, many more can be downloaded - at present there is a total of 86 presets. The conclusion is obvious: for less than 200€, you get the equivalent to thousands and thousands of euros in amps and effects, and this medium sized box saves the spaces of many metric cubes of amps and effects. The Rumble LT25 rival is the Rumble Studio 40; this one costs almost twice as much; the main reason for that is more power, which you don't need if you play at home; and with wi-fi, bluetooth, and more keys, it is easier to play around with different combinations of amps and effects because you can do it with your mobile phone, whereas in the case of the LT25, you need to plug a laptop to the amp. You can of course change settings, amps and effects directly on the amp, but the screen and extra keys in the Studio 40 makes that much easier. But if you just want to get the right tone and choose different presets without caring much about creating your own presets, than the LT25 is more than enough.

I bought this amp to be my main practice amp for in my appartement. Don't be fooled by its small size, this thing packs a punch. I used it both as. a regular amp for my bass and (if I don't want to wear headphones) as a monitor for my Roland e-drums. It works wonders for both.

There are a crazy amount of sounds you can get from this little guy. Some are a bit too out there for my taste but it's great to just have a totally different sound by just turning the preset knob, great to get the creative juices flowing. Also the build in tuner is super handy.

Are you looking for a small, light practice amp? I totally recommend this one. The Fender Rumble line has always been great, and this is no exception.

This is my first amp and I cant compare it with much but it's pretty amazing.
The sound is really nice, enough low end and overall really balanced, the majority of presets sound okay and the options for customization are abundant and pretty easy to use. Once you get used with the menu and know it a bit the amount of tones you can get out of it and how fast you do it make this a great amp.
At 25W and with the 8inch speaker this thing is more than powerful. I only use it at home and rarely turn it up more than 25%. I can imagine it will easily do jamming sessions and small gigs.
I've also tried recording it through the usb and the quality is pretty decent even compared with my sound card.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this amp for home use, especially for beginners. It will do justice to your bass!

The Fender rumble LT-25 is what I've been searching for for years for playing at home. The sounds in this little box are fantastic! You can get pretty much every tone you ever wanted out of this. At home I play many different styles of music, from metal to fretless, and this little amp can do it all. Don't let the 8'' speaker scare you away. It has plenty of low end and a very well rounded sound. With a wide variety of amp models and effects you can spend hours crafting sounds. I would have no problem recording with this amp. In a live setting it will not hold up volume wise, but I don't think anybody expects that. This is the quintessential practice/studio amp. For home use this will be the last amp you'll ever have to buy.
