They also did a few limited editions of the old model. I picked up a nice yellow tweed covered Bassbreaker 15 with a stock Greenback, still love it, and no drive pedals required ;)
Great video Shane, as always. Just got my 30R today, drove 360km just to get it, cause I didn’t want to wait:) I’ve owned a DSL40CR and just returned an AC15C1 for the 30R. In comparison the Fender just ripped the vox into pieces. I love the AC Tone, but the fender can do it all plus a Perfect clean channel and an unbelievable good Drive. And not to mention the perfectly silent FX Loop. I’ve got a Laney supercub head, a Marshall 2525h, JCM900 4100 and a Roland Blues Cube Tour here and had many other amps including a Blues junior before, but the Fender seems to do it all. The only thing it can’t do seems to be the tight distortion I get from my 2525h. But it doesn’t have to do that! It just has its own perfect drive channel and by far one of the best I’ve heard over the years. Now I just hope that it lasts longer than the previous Bassbreaker Amps, but so far I’m impressed. The stock EL84 are GT branded JJs and the preamp section seems to be Sovtek. I didn’t even think about swapping tubes for now. For example, the VOX that costs almost the same comes with really crappy Chinese tubes! One thing that’s not so great is the reverb. It feels a little noisy, but just to a certain degree and doesn’t get noisier when you turn up the volume. And also the reverb is not the type I like, but that’s what I have my Digitech Polara for, which fits into the Bassbreakers loop like a glove. Im incredibly impressed by fender so far. Lets hope it’ll stand the test of time!
@@WeDreammore hey! It was fantastic! It was because I don’t have the amp anymore, but that’s due to private reasons. It’s a little hard to dial in a very very low volume but I was able to practice even with a sleeping toddler in the next room and it still sounded full and delivered all frequencies. Because of a wife who doesn’t like rock music and sleeping kids it’s always one of the criteria an amp has to fulfill 👍🏼
Gotta say I'm still pretty in love with my 18/30. Sounds massive live and every time I've put it on a recording it's always delivered what I want over other amps. I think bassbreakers are underrated in general.
This Fender Bassbreaker is a great value for both home and gigs. For the price, it’s a great amp for many styles of music. Me personally, it’s not Fender-y enough for what I want, but it would be great to have around the house. Great jam Shane!!! If you do end up buying it, I would love to hear how it stands up live! Cheers!🎸🎸🎸🎸🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
That's the reaction of a man who is about to buy a new amp! You almost didn't need to say anything. Loved the cleans and bluesy low gain. Loads of headroom.
I'd come across your channel through another video and this one came in my feed. It's quite hilarious, because I've been scouting this amp for a few months now in other reviews to pair with my DSL40 for a stereo rig. You're right, it sounds similar to the Marshall but still with some Fender character, which is what I want. I don't typically use my drive channel(s), I have pedals and a multiFX I use for most of my gain, but it's nice to have it and it's actually not a bad drive/gain tone.
Me too. Just sent it off because it needs a new valve...The guy does the amps for all the bands round here. He' text me and he's put a JJECC83(S Premium) valve to replace the Phase Invertor valve. Hope it sounds the same as when I bought it , when I get it back.
Picked one of these up at a pawn shop for 200 bucks. Had no clue what it was but decided to plug in cuz I was curious. I was completely blown away. I live on the mid gain channel with my tele and the tone us so musical. Very responsive Amp with killer tone
Great review Shane. I tried it and the Hot Rod deluxe iv and went for the Hot Rod. Bought it from Sky music on the way home from the Melbourne guitar show.
Yes, needs a shoot-out against your Marshall DSL and Blues Deluxe. Considering that it is called "Bassbreaker" and has that Celestion speaker, suggests that it has been designed to sit more in the Brit territory.
...took my 15 to practice the other day...sat on mid gain with volume high and guitar volume down to edge of break up...brilliant...not sure why I didn’t use this amp much before (a have a few amp)...this is my now fav......was thinking about the new 30r...interesting...
That thing sounds killer! I have the limited edition bb15 british edition with a greenback and wheat grill cloth and green tolex. The bassbreaker series of amps are my new favorites no pedals needed. The reverb on mine is great as well it a digital hall i think but it does all i need it to do. Great video.
Dr. Ric's harmonic jaw resonance just happened to combine with the resonance of the transformer in a one-in-a-million shot that time. Hopefully he's learned to tame the beast.
Try TWO Peavey Classic 30's HEADS in stereo. 8 EL 84's. 60 WATTS with one channel switch for both. In fact ANY small tube head/combo in STEREO you will NEVER go back to MONO ! And, LIVE really easy to mix at lower and higher volumes. Vocalists and drummers love it. STEREO.

I saw it at NAMM in January. Put an order with Guitar Center here in Hollywood and had by the end of February. Just a KILLER Beast of an AMP! Love it! You are spot on with the details. I need to get a BOSS Waza Tube Amp Expander or the Rivera Rock Crusher to keep the levels to a reasonable level here at home. Still I push that bad boy all the way and get that thick, sweet full sound! Great post!
I got one as soon as they became available. Very mean drive channel with my epiphone lp with Duncan pickups. Best tone I've ever had. I'd take this amp over the old prosonic too.
Watched the demos from Winter NAMM early in the year, have been impressed with their sound. Thinking of buying their 7 watt version for use here in the apartment. Cheers!
Sounds good man! I’d take a Peavey Delta Blues 210 myself mostly for the price point and I’ve gotta have valve tremolo and spring reverb. Not a big Fender guy but this one sounds good to me!
I have the Bassbreaker and the Marshall DSL40.. my DSL40 now collects dust.. this Bassbreaker 30 kicks the Marshall butt!! And I play every weekend ( when no Covid is present) Fender makes great amps
If you felt that solo any more than you were in that intro, you'd have turned into a Strat yourself! Great demo. The Bassbreaker series sounds unbelievable.
You know what really grinds my gears? Fender release the BB15 combo, good amp right? So I try one in the shop, it's used but mint - as new. Got a great price on that and a nice little Tweed Blues jnr - portable wet/dry rig was the idea (and it still is). In the shop, I didn't notice any hiss or whine, hum etc. But then, once I got it home, and at rehearsal and started working it, gremlins appeared. Reverb turned up=high pitched whine. Gain up=loud hiss (way more hiss than in this demo, it starts with the medium gain setting at around 4-5, not that loud). The notorious FX loop problem, but that's not a deal-breaker because I tend to run everything into the front. So, it's still waiting to go to my tech to get sorted while I'm using a Laney Cub12r (nooo problems with that, just swapped out the speaker for a Vintage30) with my Junior for the W/D thing. IF this BB30 had been around, I probably would have grabbed it instead. The weight is comparable, it's got more headroom, they *seem* to have ironed out most of the issues that plagued the BB15s we got here in Oz. And, ofc, when using just one amp the BB30 would be a better choice. Live and learn, I guess - but WTF Fender? Just release both -WITH DECENT QC - and then folks who just want a 15watter will buy that one, and vice versa for the 30. But then they wouldn't make as much on the bottom line, I suppose.
Looking forward to a future video when Dr Rick blows this thing up. Jokes aside what's the build quality like ? From the video / pics I have seen it looks pretty cheap. Would be nice if Fender could somehow honor these great circuits / designs with build quality to last.
What it actually is , is Fenders copy/take on a Marshall Bluesbreaker, which in fact was a copy / take of a Fender Bassman. I personally just bought a Fender Bassbreaker 15 W Combo and I am very pleased with all the tones, very loud, quite light, can be gigged and practice, home use, the only drawback with the 15 W is the gain stages are not footswitchable.
Thanks for the post Shane. An inspiration to me as usual to play more and stay engaged in music. I just played one of those amps. Yes it sounds great clean or dirty.
Great Demo and Review Shane! I’ve been waiting for you to get your hands on one of these to Review. I’ve had mine since April and just LOVE IT!! Great Tones Clean or Dirty, light weight and COMES with the Footswitch AND Cover!! Just like the old days I remember! I use it for Blues with a light edge and Classic Rock with a little more Gain. I don’t ever use the HIGH GAIN feature (it’s WAY too much Gain for my use). This Amp takes All Pedals very well and has a great push on both Channels! I just can’t say enough about this Amp! $899 US. from Sweetwater (and all On-line Stores. Great Vid man it sounded sweet in your control! Please keep up the Good Work and have a Great Day! Cheers from the US!
A year ago I compared a hot rod deluxe 111 on clean channel and a Blues deluxe tweed and a Bassbreaker 30 for clean tones, I went with the HR deluxe.. But this review makes me want to buy the Bassbreaker. Shane you are now an influencer...Fender should at the very least give you that amp!!
The hot rod might be the better clean pedal platform but the drive tones on this are totally wild 😎. I’m glad the video was helpful. Stay tuned tonight I have a comparison with my Marshall coming up.
Great demo Shano’ - I had a couple of these in the 15W range (first runs) but couldn’t switch channels and I found the fx loop so noisy that I couldn’t use it. However, with the gain dimmed on the second and third gain stage it delivered down right awesome crunch tones.
Sounds awesome Shane. I had bassbreaker 15 for a while and I really liked it . However this amp seems like it's just got everything that you want clean and dirt and enough volume for a gig if you needed it.
I agree it sounds great on the clean and the gain channels. Lots of of lush tones that sound huge. I'm thinking a noise gate might be nice to have for the higher of the the two gain channels but wow!
I am a Vox person, loving the chimes, but this catches my eye for having the EL84 tubes. While I prefer the sound of two Celestion Blues, there's no denying the sound coming out of this single 12" V-type. Clean tones are superb.
Would this clean channel do a good jazz sound without craping out? I find that I can make it happen with the blues deluxe but I also like the drive sound of the bass breaker.
Sounds pretty good - it's got that lovely clean fenders renowned for and the drive channels are very marshally. That background hiss sounds very prominent though even for a tube amp? Shane, you should do a shootout with it against your deluxe, the artist tweed and your DSL.
Shane, doubt if you can answer but how does the bassbreaker emulation on the GT compare to the actual bassbreaker 30? Sounds like the 30 might tick my supersonic box but for home use both seem too loud. Might the GT be a close enough substitute? Btw, great playing and keep those guitar search shows coming when ya feel it. They’re great! Thanks for the channel.
Hi, I got the Marshall DSL40CR but I was searching tor a Fender combo with a nicer clean than mine. How do you would compare the clean between the two in person? The Marshall is harsh, too bright and shrill. I have to play also funky and disco style with my band. Please help. Thsnks...🙏
Shane, for classic rock which do you prefer? The blues breaker or your Marshall? I have a Hot Rod Deluxe and I use an OCD to get my gain...I’ve been wondering if the Marshall or the Bassbreaker 30R would be a better set up.
The amp sounds extremely noisy when idle but that's some nice uncharacteristic gain from Fender. Generally I really don't care for Fender amps but this one is intriguing.
Nice, like a Hot Rod Deluxe and a SuperSonic 22 had a love child. Nice that there are separate tone controls for each channel, with a mid control on the clean channel. Would have been great to have cascading gains on the drive channel.
well, I think I want one two. I just don't get why fender is so hesitant to put some sort of wattage switch on it, as pretty much everyone else does now, so we can use it at home too
Holy moly! At 10:30 you were rattling the wax in MY ears, I can only imagine what that was doing in your room! Does anyone know where the "bassbreaker" moniker came from? Odd name for a guitar amp.
@@intheblues not blaming you Shane , i was just unpleasantly surprised when i clicked that link , so i aborted and went to the other one instead ,the ozzy link was much more friendly . i hate it when sites take the freedom to jump all over you ,and invade your personal space ,instead of just beeing happy a customer visits their site . this amp for sure is a candidate to become my next purchace .

Man, if that was wrapped in Tweed I'd probably buy it right now ! It sounded fantastic to my ears ! Thanks for another great demo mate ! :-)
I don't know why they didn't use grey tweed like on my 007 Bassbreaker head and cabinet.
They also did a few limited editions of the old model. I picked up a nice yellow tweed covered Bassbreaker 15 with a stock Greenback, still love it, and no drive pedals required ;)
Shane this amp is the best I have played. I have fender, Mesa ,orange and vox amps this is the one I always end up gigging .Superb work Fender!!!
Pretty cool. This requires a shoot out. Bassbreaker 30R vs Marshall DSL 40 CR. Go for it 👍
Mario De Francesca And then throw in the amp killer, The Katana. !
@@guitarprism I have the Bassbreaker 15 and the Katana 50. No comparison. The Katana sounds like a cheap, nasty toy next to the BB.
@@guitarprism Katana? That’s hilarious!
Lol… Already a video by that Marshall guy
Finally you tube that dorsnt have to play a 5k guitar to sound good. This means so much !
None of the other reviews/demos I've heard have gotten me interested in the Fender Bassbreakers. Shane plays one, and I've got GAS!

Very nice clean jam in Ab minor!
SHANE do u like it as much as your dsl 40cr how does it compare ?
How much headroom does it have in the clean channel before it starts to breakup?
Hey, Shane! Any amps you know with great mid-range and treble for some great clean tone?
If you could turn the clean up to sound like the low gain on chan 2 you would have a killer, because it sounds fantastic
The amp sounds extremely noisy when idle but that's some nice uncharacteristic gain from Fender. Generally I really don't care for Fender amps but this one is intriguing.
Nice, like a Hot Rod Deluxe and a SuperSonic 22 had a love child. Nice that there are separate tone controls for each channel, with a mid control on the clean channel. Would have been great to have cascading gains on the drive channel.
Love it mate, classic sounds right there🎸🎶👊
I found one of these for 325 and was wondering if it’s worth it

Dan Kelsall I’m ready to rumble mate!🇦🇺
bought a DSL 40cr over this last week. I'd say I made the right choice.

This amp is like the answer to a Marshall DSL. And yes. You made the right choice. You cannot replicate that Marshall crunch.
well, I think I want one two. I just don't get why fender is so hesitant to put some sort of wattage switch on it, as pretty much everyone else does now, so we can use it at home too
nice opening blues face dude ---- seems like u may be buyin this one .
Is this different than the bass breakers you reviewed in the past? Newer model?
Holy moly! At 10:30 you were rattling the wax in MY ears, I can only imagine what that was doing in your room! Does anyone know where the "bassbreaker" moniker came from? Odd name for a guitar amp.
Blues breaker and bassman
Well Holy Crap Indeed. Well played Sir.
Thanks for another great demo. How does it compare to your DSL 40?
Video is on the way :-)
smokin lead riffs shane !
Really wish there was a footswitch to change those gain settings...
very sweet sound , love it. ( really hate the data tracking feature of that sweetwater link , its agressive and they just shouldnt do it )
bassax7045 its an affiliate link. It says in the description 😎🎸
@@intheblues not blaming you Shane , i was just unpleasantly surprised when i clicked that link , so i aborted and went to the other one instead ,the ozzy link was much more friendly .
i hate it when sites take the freedom to jump all over you ,and invade your personal space ,instead of just beeing happy a customer visits their site .
this amp for sure is a candidate to become my next purchace .
