Genz Benz Focus 1 x 12 vs Fender Rumble 1 x 12

Just asking really.

I had a splendid back up rig which I sold. Stupidly

Streamliner 600 through two GB Focus 1 x 12's. It was a terrific rig and weighed nowt.

Few months after selling it, I got to thinking Fender bought/shut GB, wonder if their 1 x 12 Rumbles are based on them, and how do they compare.

Anybody been lucky enough to have both?

Hello,

Lovely rig you had (i have one, exacty the same STM600+2xfocus12) and it sounds lovely.
In that time, i saw the rumble cabinets also, they had more power (250w) but with different voicing.
Honestly i don't believe them will sound as good as the focus since they already exists, but believe they are also a good sound/weight option.
The V3 model (new) has a eminence speaker, the same tweeter functions (on/off/-6db) and a bit bigger dimensions for better bottom end.
If you have chance, try them and see how they sound to your ears
