    Bought this head after seeing this review like 2 yrs ago, this is my favorite amp and i own alot of amps. I crank the gain and use the vol cntrl to tame it, didnt know how awesome it was till i got a tele, and oh man! , i play it all the time moved it out to the garage so i can play late and loud, using a 6505 2x12 and a 1x10 carvin cab, back off the vol a qtr turn and ur in srv heaven. I use pedals to drive it into dimebag land.

    I bought this 007 head and received it one week ago. It's the best sounding amp I ever had. I play Blues and classic Rock and boy does it sound amazing. It's pretty loud too. I use it with my Blackstar HT212 cab. It's just perfect with the exeption that it doesn't have reverb but that's no big deal. There's a lot of great reverb pedals on the market. I decided to get this amp after watching this video. Thanks for making those videos Mr McKnight they're very informative and fun to watch. Keep up the good work. Thanks

    Luc you said its pretty loud. Is it loud enough to gig with or should I consider the 15 or 30 W? I mic my amps through the PA but don't use a monitor I just need enough stage volume to get above the drums (and Im pretty close to my amp). I have some big amps for bigger venues.

    hi Philip great review! For anyone wondering about volume - I recently bought the head and matching 1x12 for rehearsal and small gigging. at rehearsal it is loud enough....JUST. the master is at 8/10 and there is no clean headroom at that level. sounds great though! compared to a class 5 combo I would say the Marshall is louder, I got to a usable level with the master at 4/5 with that. the treble boost I didn't think I would use but actually it sounds amazing.

    About 20 years ago there was a guy from Canada who sold Bassman EL34 conversions (called Bluesbreaker) that was essentially a mix of a Marshall JTM45 and late 60s Bassman (used to be really cheap). It was killer, and it looks like Fender is now marketing the same concept.

    They do sound as good in person as they do in this vid, I had one for a few months, sold it, regret selling it, just bought another one today (on the way). That said, didn't need the footswitch, kept treble boost on all the time. Only clean tone is at very very low volume, the gain sounds incredible. I thought the 15 watt version would sound the same but louder so I bought one locally, took it back hours later, sounded nothing like the 007 and many of the controls were useless. I think if you were really into the Brian May tone, you could use about 4 or more of these micd and it would pretty much nail his tone, or anything in between the tone controls are very active, and for playing at really low volume these sound very full. I was using the head version thru a 4x12 and sometimes a 2x12. I have never tried the 30 or 45 watt versions, so I can't plug or criticize them.

    Theres an old bass breaker that looks like a tweed bassman. They are pretty rare and expensive but yeah the bassman was the inpsiration for the JTM45. They are very similiar except for some valve changes. I have a tweed princeton that i fucking love Fender tweeds are very close to marshalls just smaller and once again a few valve changes. Tweeds sag a lot, more than marshalls. i have and old 1971 50 watt plexi thats my #1. Crank it and ride your volume control, especially with my vintage casino with lollar 50 wind p90s. I got the guitar in rough shape, but now its my current favorite, a hollowbody with p90s in to a cranked marshall=tone heaven for me.

    Thanks for the review on this. That's quite a coup by Fender. I'm interested in trying out the 45 watter with the built in attenuator. Most might think that 1 watt will be pretty quiet, but your lunchbox amp demo with the 1 watt Blackstar puts that idea to rest. I just want to be able to dial in my breakup point pursuant to the venue I'm playing and that will be just the ticket for me I reckon. The only criticism I might have is that those lipstick pickups seem to be a little more trebly than the average single coil that most play. Don't get me wrong. I love lip stick pickups. I'll never change them out of my Dano. They just aren't real representative of the average player's gigging gear.

    Just received my Fender Bassbreaker 007 today and also the Jimi Hendrix stratocaster. The Bassbreaker sounds and looks great. It has to be the best low wattage amp(under 10 watts) for less than $1000. Amazing clean fender tones up to very nice crunchy marshall, orange(at low gain lol) tones. Did I mention It looks great in person. Also for $899 the Jimi Hendrix guitar feels and sounds great.I used a 10 inch eminence Lil buddy, 12 inch wcg ET-65, and A 15 inch eminence legend speaker sounded great with all speakers.

I was expecting chinese tubes inside and was suprised to find GT premiums for tubes. Still replaced them as I paid $65 for tubes normally worth $90. To be honest they sound better ( I think lol) but not worth the 60 dollar upgrade atleast for me.

    whats nice is that unlike most marshall's with the "brown sound" you also get this muffled sound. but this one is clear and crisp and dirty all at the same time! Unfortunately they probobly wont make these very long like the fender machete(which was insane).....seems like if its not the exact same cookie cutter DRRI then no one buys them. Good job again from fender. I also had a rumble 350 2x10 that was the best bass amp for the size&money I've ever seen. If you see something wild from fender amps you really like you better buy it before they discontinue it.

    All these amps are different from one to the next. These amps are much like the Vintage Modified Series in that each amp is a unique amp to itself, but in this case it's as though they were built in the UK with those style parts. Here are a few highlights I collected about each different amp of the Bassbreaker series. You'll see what I mean. I've included my guess as to what each amp may be about. Hopefully we'll hear more soon! 7W Bassbreaker (Mini Bluesbreaker w/ Treble Booster?) - Single Channel - Class A - Master Volume - EL84 Based - Foot-switchable Treble Booster circuit - 1/4" Line Out - Single 8 Ohm Speaker Tap 15W Bassbreaker (Tone-tweaker) - Single Channel - Bright Switch - 3 Position Selectable Gain Structure Knob - Master Volume - FX Loop - Hall Reverb - Power Amp Mute - XLR out w/ on/off switchable Cab Emulation - 2 Parallel 4,8,16 Ohm Switchable Speaker Taps - EL84 Based 18/30W Bassbreaker (UK Blackface Deluxe/1974X?) (This amp is ONLY available as a 2x12 Combo) - 2 Channel Foot-switchable (Each channel is a different wattage, there is no switch) - Channel One: 30W UK version of a Blackface Deluxe w/ Volume & 3 Band EQ - Channel Two: 18W UK version of a 61' Brown Deluxe w/ Volume & Tone Knob - 2 Parallel 4,8,16 Ohm Switchable Speaker Taps - EL84 Based 45W Bassbreaker (UK Built 59' Bassman) - 59' Bassman Circuit - EL34 Based - Normal and Bright Inputs with independent volumes - "Both" Input for Patched input tones - 1-45W Adjustable Output - Presence Control - 2 Parallel 4,8,16 Ohm Switchable Speaker Taps

    That treble boost function HIGHLY suggests that Fender was going for the Marshall Bluesbreaker crowd. Probably the most famous Bluesbreaker sound ever is Clapton running one with his Dallas Rangemaster, a treble booster, while he was with Mayall. Hence the amp became known as the Bluesbreaker.

The 45 has a variable output that goes down to 1W but that still might be too loud for bedroom practice depending on how much gain you want. All of these amps seem really intriguing but they're all missing features that another amp in the series has. A 1x12 18/30 with an effects loop and a master would be perfect for me.

    Phil - if you could only live with one amp, and your choices were the Fender Bassbreaker 15w head (understand you haven't gotten your hands on one yet), or the EVH 5150III Lunchbox 15w, which do you think you would choose and why? Thanks!

    the Bassbreaker. the reason is I will always use some kind of pedal and the EVH LBX is not friendly to pedals. also I could put the MXR 5150 pedal or the Wampler pedal through the Bassbreaker and get the EVH tone

    A quick question Phillip. Like in my previous post, I loved the sound of the 007, however, I have a have a little more wattage. So I need the sound of the 007, but higher wattage.what would you say? , go with the Bass breaker in higher wattage , or is there another amp that gets me that sound that I should be looking at.

    I just ordered one. I live In Spain, and its coming from UK. Get this, they are hundred dollars less here. I kinda wanted the 15 but was a waiting time of 7 weeks, and cost was double. I normally dont need loop or reverb, and use a Boss GP-10 for all effects. I play mostly Eagles, Led Zeppelin, 3DD, America, Bob Segar. My question is this, for a small gig this has enough power, and sound quality to support yes? I can always mic when needing more, but would you have waited for the 15 or would you be happy with this gigging? Last you think this is really made like the older bass amps?

    im having trouble deciding between this and the superchamp x2, the thing that puts me off about the x2 is the lack of a mid control, as i like 3 band EQs for a sharper tone when you boost the mids and roll back the highs, but then this doesn't footswitch between 2 channels which bothers me, given these 2 personal flaws what would anyone recommend?

    If you need clean and chimey tones, the BB 007 might not be the best option as there is not a ton of clean headroom (in that case, go for a Blues Junior). For blues to classic rock tones, the BB is great - fat, warm. deep and good bass response. Great amp! I have owned both the SuperChamp XD and BB 007 and sold my SCXD as it was a jack of all trades, master of none....still a great amp but not as purpose specific as the Bassbreaker. If you like pedals and maybe gig once in a while, the BB is great...if you want everything on one box for home use, the SCX2 would work.

    Probably not wrong Phillip. I saw an interview with Eric Clapton in which said he went to the early Fender tweeds because they sounded like the Bluesbreaker. The problem with the bluesbreaker [according to Clapton's statement] was that they were too inconsistent. One did not sound like another, where as the Fenders were much more consistent. I don't remember the interview, but it is on KZread. As I remember it, I believe he said, "the tweed was the bluesbreaker..." For what it's worth--
