Hi, did the dark sound of the BB15 get taken into consideration when making this? As good as the 15 was, it was let down badly by its clean sounds and demos of the 30R seem dark too...

I tried that amp and was very impressed with both channels.

I've had mine about a month now and I can tell you this is the absolutely best amp I've ever owned. the tone is just amazing I hate putting any pedals in front of it because the tone is so good you just don't want to Jack with it. The overdrive / distortion is just simply beautiful. This amp can do it all everything. I play in a cover band that plays a lot of Stevie Ray Vaughan Jimi Hendrix all sorts of 80's and 90's pop and rock. this amp will cover anything you want to do including that awesome Stevie Ray Vaughan tone you have been looking for.

This amp actually is amazing and doesn’t sound like anything I’ve ever played . Tried it with a jazz master which I don’t play either . It was really something else on the clean channel . Clean roller ball bearing sound

Definitely on my must have Amp List.

Wow! really great amp, considering switching my blues jr. for this! but i love that spring reverb haha!

nice work Fender! Great low end tight and nice crunch.

4:35 there's the tone right there!!

Now that's what all amp reviews should be like...Thanx!!

I have both the bassbreaker 30r and the bassbreaker 45 with the extension cabinet. If you're going to buy one get the 30r. This amp is nothing short of amazing. now I will say the high-gain channel has a lot of hiss and buzz so you will need a gate or a noise reducer. I have the rocktron hush so it's not a big deal. you can get any sound you want out of this amp from Stevie Ray Vaughan ...blues ...metal... 80s rock.... beautiful clean... Country....you name it this app will do it and oh my God it is as loud as the bassbreaker 45. If you've been looking for that good tube distortion you know that good creamy sound.... This is the amp. I probably would have paid twice as much after playing it.

Bought one. Love it. Have a demo of a loop I recorded of the cleans.

I confess that I watch Fender's amplifier videos mostly because I'm curious to see how Mr Heins is wearing his hair.

I call my Bassbreaker "my Hummer". More noises than a freaking old jalopy. When I replaced the Tubes, I found loose screws in the cabinet. I never did find empty screw holes. The assembler in mexico dropped them and left them in there. I bought a '65 Deluxe Reverb, I love it and never going back to the Bassbreaker. It sits forlornly in the corner.

Thank you Fender very very cool

Amp sounds great I want one

Bought this amp. Truly love the tones you can get out of it. Play a lot of S.R.V. and Hendrix. Clean channel is excellent IMHO. Wampler Tumnus running through it is amazing. Run it Wet / Dry at home w another Fender and really love how the gain of the 30R sits in the mix.

What would happen if you were using another channel switching system like the Boss MS3 to go from clean to dirt? Since the included Fender one has two switches/buttons would it still work?

Does the XLR direct out have an output level control. My issue with house PA's is that they want a level that doesn't leave me with a good stage level. They tell me they'll put the sound into my monitor, but it's just not the same as that sound level and tonality from the amp speaker. Great distortion sound, I'm gonna take a look. Thanks.

The Bassbreaker 45 head is discontinued, so they just might.

Good overview. This amp is definitely on my "To Check Out" list.

Does this amp need to bias? Great sounds!

The only things missing which could be improved upon for similar price point: 1. Power attenuation (like the 45) 2. Tweed lacquered finish (like the 18/30) 3. EF86 tube Also, if Fender did a KT66 amp I’d just melt!

If I don't have a way to use the xlr out at home, would is sound good at a home volume ?

But I second the whole just add spring,plate and hall reverb if it’s just a pedal inside n let the axeman have the choice But I know you want us to buy all your new pedals not gonna happen

With any amp, the most important setting is the breakthrough point where gain just starts happening. In this demo, they go from completely clean to heavy distortion.

Does this have the same chassis as the 15 though?

Did not recognize Rick! Traded the silver fox vibe for the Allman bros. look!

So, this is a great improvement over the 18/30 in my opinion. I have an 18/30 and will be looking to upgrade to this.

Martin Bonilla it has 2 separate channels. The 30r has a dedicated distortion/dirty channel, as opposed to the 18/30 where you had to crank the 18watt side for overdrive. This also has an effects loop- which is a huge improvement, as well as a selectable reverb, unlike the 18/30-which I own. Definitely looking to upgrade myself now.

@@jaygiordano9489 To each their own. The benefit w this amp is the touch sensitivity. Depending on what you're playing I get your point. To my ear at least when it's a band setting w drums and bass it just seems the lush spring tank tone benefit gets lost. Or, rather for the money and weight of hauling it around is a non benefit. I am partial to delay pedals. Feel that they give that full round sound w out the challenge of getting that exact right spring setting. If money were not an object and I had a front of house tech I would be all over the spring tank thing. I get it though and most if not all would likely agree on the purity of the sound coming from a proper spring tank. At $899 though this is a steel at 35W.
