[@benmoore7946]

Finally a decent Marshall I may be able to afford! Thanks Fender!

[@Driftuner]

ever heard of DSL range...

[@Dagger_323]

Bassbreaker series blows the modern DSLs out of the water... unless we're talking about the ones that were made in the U.K.

[@Driftuner]

well, its a matter of taste...i prefer the bassbreakers as well, but there is no denying that the DSL range is very nice, specially when you consider the price...i mean, the DSL40C is a LOT of amplifier for the price..

[@Dagger_323]

Pe Peroni it can cover a lot of bases, sure. But I personally never liked the overall tone of the Vietnam made DSLs. I can't stand high gain, so I only used mine to mimic a Plexi and obtain classic blues-rock crunch. I was never satisfied with it. Last year I picked up a JCM 2000 made in England and it wiped the floor with the modern DSL I had (which I sold and bought a Bassbreaker 45, which also annihilated it for those classic tones I was after).

[@Driftuner]

nice to hear that...yeah it seems like the BB45 is hell of an amp

[@RobChappers]

"As fate would have it, later that day Chappers did purchase that Strat - and as foretold, her name was Zaffre, a moniker which spake of the ancient blue pigment produced by burning ores of cobalt in a furnace"

[@Joeobrown1]

+Rob Chapman a les paul and a strat... you're getting boring!

[@tommeakin1732]

+Rob Chapman ...if all else fails you can always become a poet Rob ._.

[@RayraysAzombie]

+Joe Brown bitch please les Paul is one of the greatest guitars ever

[@joshf8097]

awesome

[@cow5547]

+Rob Chapman are this your strats

[@CaptAnderton]

Great job Fender - you really are making some amazing gear. The Bassbreaker amps & the Postmodern Strats/Teles are just fantastic!

[@bengale1674]

CaptAnderton I'm looking to upgrade my amp from a 20 year old un-branded combo. What do you recommend, I'm thinking Head, Cab setup for the upgradability. I'm into indie music and sometimes gig small venues.

[@ejw3006]

Ben Gale I mean a twin reverb set up is always good cause it’s got good cleans and an awesome pedal platform. But I couldn’t see why you couldn’t get the Bass Breaker head to make that work.

[@golfhound]

@@ejw3006 I would go with the bassbreaker head. The 15 watt is the only one available in a separate head. The head also has two speaker output jacks. That way, I could buy one or two cabinets.

[@breakfastbuddy5]

not realy , kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYmZp6d5gdSchpY

[@bencarson8510]

I have owned my Bassbreaker 15 for a year now and could not be happier with it. Excellent amp. The overdrive saturation is glorious. The only pedals I use are a Boss Super Overdrive for lead boosts and a Boss Super Chorus. My Strat has never sounded better.

[@HamzaJamzaFamza]

11:13 the reason the "standby" light blink is to let you know that the amp is not only muted, but still active for silent recording or sending to a PA through the Direct Out on the back of the amp... not just a standby feature, but also a speaker mute for silent recording....

[@nickolasecker9596]

Bought one used for $400 today, love it so far, it does the fender lo gain clean which is a great pedal platform, the medium channel has a vox like chime, and finally the high gain sound does a great Marshall sound. The only complaint I have is that there is no spring reverb, but that can be handled by pedals.

[@liambenn3893]

I love it when rob and lee start improvising together! They are both amazing blues guitarists!

[@lancevoorhees7318]

They also have a great way of being honest, fair, and extremely informative on all their videos! I bought the 15 watt bass breaker, I like it a lot, simple to use and baby it cranks on my start and les Paul! Their duet at the end of the video was excellent! A total thumbs up!

[@MEDiumInc]

PLEASE do a Bassman VS Bluesbreaker VS BassBreaker. Would love to see how the Grand daddy competes with its successors.

[@Robstafarian]

+MEDiumInc You are confusing amp names with amp architecture: never mistake marketing for engineering.

[@MEDiumInc]

+Robstafarian I'm not confusing anything. those are 2 iconic amps, and I want to see how the bass breaker competes against them besides, the bass breaker 45 says on the product page it's a tribute to the 59 baseman. and marshalls early amps where based on the bassman. so it would still be fitting anyways seeing as the bass breaker it's an EL84 gain amp

[@Robstafarian]

MEDiumInc Virtually the entire history of tube electric guitar amps is based on tweaks to one of three circuits: the Fender Bassman (typically the 5F6-A), the Vox AC30/6, and the Fender Deluxe Reverb (typically the AA763). I cannot be sure which Bassbreaker you want in the comparison because you mentioned both the Bassbreaker 45 (which is substantially different than the Bassbreaker 15 and 007) and EL84 power tubes: the Bassbreaker 45 has EL34 power tubes. I have to assume you mean to compare combos, so do you plan to control for the different speakers? The Bluesbreaker, which was a Model 1986 JTM 45 2x12 combo, used Celestion G12 AlNiCo Silver T1656 speakers; the '59 Bassman used Jensen P10Q speakers (of which the current Italian production is not representative), and the Bassbreaker combos use Celestion V-Type speakers (which are something like quieter, cheaper Vintage 30s).

[@Biffen1812]

jeez man all he asked for was a comparison between a few amps, whats the big deal?

[@Robstafarian]

Biffen1812 Are you referring to my first comment or my second comment? My first comment was terse, I admit, but it was hardly as dickish as the average KZbin comment; my second comment was just geeking out about amps: where is the harm?

[@medikamensch]

I love how Lee maintains his style but keeps getting better!

[@19maurice66]

+aMadButcher I think he's lost his style compared to previous videos. Go back and look at the early stuff.

[@NickNnight]

+Maurice Philipps give me a link to a good example of him playing better than this

[@medikamensch]

Guys, don't fight. We are brothers. We are guitarists.

[@NickNnight]

no no, no hard feelings

[@budgetguitarist]

Great review! I just bought the 007 combo the other day on sale for less than the price of the 007 head at Guitar Center. Lee is right about the 10 inch speaker sounding farty - it's the cheapest 10 Celestion makes. But connect the 007 combo to a different cab, like my one twelve, and it sounds AMAZING. I agree with Rob - I think this is the best dirt sound of any Fender amp. It's very, very rock and roll.

[@williamcarson613]

Captain and Rob I thank you guys for this. This video was what led me to buying my Bassbreaker 15. That and I did my own shootout between it and a Tweed Blues Jr and the Bassbreaker blew it out of the water! Keep up the good work Andertons Music.

[@danielebasile3957]

Im so proud of my 15W. Tried at the shop and compared to a Marshall Origin and Fender Blues Jr. Got immediately the right feeling with it.

[@NoOne-hd2iu]

11:15 I wish my girlfriend had one of those

[@yeeeww]

+John Ray haha

[@solidranger]

+John Ray HAHAHA! Nice one!

[@nathanpetrie6156]

😂😂😂

[@paradiswest4395]

Lmao

[@fndrn8]

I think the key thing to note with any amp, not just a valve, is to mic them up. I’ve made many cheap practice amps feel huge with just the right setup.

[@dayspro5516]

I have a Bassbreaker 15 and its plenty loud plus its very versatile and has many great tones. Very happy with the purchase :)

[@tom474e]

I checked out the Bassbreaker 15 watt at the music store today, I was impressed. I tried three different amps and the Bassbreaker sounded the best by far.

[@Lucasarrillius]

I just bought the 15w bass breaker and i am totally in love with it. Been trying to buy one when it first came out and i was not disappointed. In fact, i was surprised just how versatile it is!

[@MarkJohnsonJams]

I've never owned a Fender amp but I'm intrigued by these amps. I must say, I think Fender is making such high quality instruments right now. Love that Strat Rob bought.

[@EclipseAtDusk]

+The Gospel of Mark The 007 combo is one of the best little amps I've ever played tbh

[@DarthEcoli]

I've had a few Fender amps, and a Peavey Ranger that's a black face twin knockoff. NONE of them sounded as good as this Bassbreaker. Fender cleans have always been stellar, but this amp seems to do it all. I'm damned tempted to sell off my Ranger and Valve king just to get one.

[@dpdockery]

I bought this amp because of you guys!! And it freaking is everything I thought it would be. You can get ANY tone out of this with just the eq and maybe a pedal or two

[@hondansx1000]

Wasn't the Supersonic the kinda loud hard rock amp in the fender range?...and mother of god it sounded nice with the Les Paul through it. For me Fenders have always sounded really nice with loads of distortion like a Hot Rod Deluxe

[@lealand707]

ValkyrieBSG notoriously unreliable amps

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

Not really. The supersonic is half bassman/half hotrodded fender type deal. And fenders don’t typically sound great for high gain stuff. Get them driving hard enough, and they do crunch up nicely. However, things like the hot rod deluxe are pretty much just clean amps until you use pedals. but if you want gain, get a Marshall. That’s what these are supposed to be. Fenders idea of A british take on the bassman circuitry, Ie, jtm45.

[@noahchristytv]

That lamp on the left is perfectly placed haha. Every time Rob is sitting on the left it looks like he has a bright idea! Great playing fellas, I just got a buddy of mine to buy one of these (15w) for himself, I'm glad I stand in great company when I say these amps are stellar!

[@darcedwards6362]

Man, lee is getting so good at playing guitar

[@Shygster]

Could he not okay when the channel first started or something?

[@Shygster]

+Gordon wong I'll have to go back and see then. thanks!

[@apinakapinastorba]

+Monkeycamera He could okay but not that okay

[@JudsonGraham]

+Darcy Edwards so true! id love to ba able do play pentatonic solos that effortlessly! he used to be pretty bad lol

[@CaptAnderton]

+Darcy Edwards Cheers Darcy - its all this hanging around good guitar players that does it! Rob, Rabea, Mick & Pete (& there must be others!!) - its such an inspiring place to be right now.

[@underground_man]

Rob's solo with delay at the end was awesome! Great job, gents.

[@Kfiskplumbing]

Bassbreaker vs vox ac 15? I'm looking at new tube amp for home and pub size gigs

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Finally someone does justice to the BB 15, what a great amp. Nice job guys.

[@EventHorizonPrdctns]

a lot of people saying there's a major problem with the fx loop though...

[@Blycker]

Brilliant video, gentlemen. Thanks for the great work. Whoever edits your videos with the sound effects needs a raise. They are surprising, hilarious and add real fun to the viewing.

[@cow5547]

you should do like a Q&A

[@RobChappers]

+jamie dunican 2005 Good idea man

[@user-bu3mb7gk3e]

+Rob Chapman yes!!!

[@DevinThe242]

+Rob Chapman do you have an ask.fm? That way you would need to make the 2005 throwback videos that would clog up the feeds of people that aren't interested, and it would let people be able to freely and anonymously ask you questions. If you have an ask.fm already, I'd like to follow you.

[@MB-yw3pv]

THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ANOMALOUSLY ASK QUESTIONS AND NOT HAVE PEOPLE SEE WHO THEY ARE USUALLY ARE THE TROLLS AND MISERABLE PEOPLE WHO WANT PEOPLE TO BE AS DEPRESSED AS THEM

[@vertigofall]

MB215 Or those who can't spell....! Sorry couldn't resist...;@)

[@DaMusicMan203]

Rob, i gotta tell you man, thats the best tone ive ever heard in one of your demos. ive been watching your videos for years and youve sold me on lots of gear, but youve absolutely sold me on this one. Fantastic job, well done!

[@yannikhofmann]

Could you do a Fender Bassbreaker 18/30 vs. Marshall DSL40c? Would be awesome :-)

[@cryptoskywalker6000]

Why would you want to see the DSL get it's face cleaned with the floor? Watching a Marshall get the shit kicked out of it isn't my idea of a good time. 😅

[@virtue696]

im thinking of either the Bassbreaker 15 or the Marshall dsl40c??... for thrashy high gain stuff which is better?? Also im in Australia and even with shipping Andertons is gonna save me $100's on local prices which is awesome...

[@JawkneeJay]

I was trying to decide between those two amps as well. I chose the Bassbreaker after playing one at a shop. They're amazing!

[@psychofunksoldier02]

I recently sold my Blues Jr and just got the BB15 combo. I think the BB15 can do the Blues Jr clean to "gritty" tones but also has a sweet overdrive built in. I like to play without pedals and just use the guitar volume to get from clean to dirty so the BB15 suits my style well. Aside from that the quality of the BB15 seems way better than the BJ from the linear controls to the speaker and cabinet. Plus it just looks cool! ;-)

[@LocoDirewolf]

I would like to hear a comparison between the Bassbreaker and the new Origin.

[@sneifert1968]

Would love to see a bass breaker 15 vs. a Blackstar 20

[@CammojoDragon97]

you've just sold yourselves a 007 Bluesbreaker! Was saving for a Blues Juniour but I dig the tone and it's half the price for still an all-valve amp!

[@melexdy]

13:40 Aaand captains O face right there.. Btw Rob is wearing a kobra kai shirt from karate kid?

[@RobChappers]

+MeLexdy Correct - Kobra kai, never die \m/

[@jackgrizzly7140]

+MeLexdy Hahah Lee does look concerned about how good this amp is.

[@TMmodify]

I bet he bought him on the Last Exit to Nowhere website, you should check it out

[@oig40203]

+Rob Chapman PAIN DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS DOJO, DOES IT?

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

Thank you. I was trying to see what the bottom of his shirt said. Although I wouldn't have remembered the movie and made the connection.

[@slimturnpike]

where's the part where you compare the 007 to the 15?

[@bmorebob6624]

slimturnpike exactly, I was hoping to hear more about the 007 and more of a comparison

[@MATuCHEW]

YellowMatterCustard3 c

[@opwave79]

Boy, KZbin really screws with the audio after uploading. Even after listening through studio monitors. These amps sound WAY better in person.

[@Claimjumper55]

A ladder isn't necessary to bring them over the wall; they'll just bring them through the tunnels. :)

[@neilsthepoet]

Darrell McMillan anybody who believes in open borders .... Needs to take the front door off their house

[@julian65886]

That blue Strat is lovely! The neck has a great look. And Chaps did a good job today.

[@RequiemOfSolo]

I need that 15 watt in my life now just gotta sell my soul real quick

[@donklink2545]

I love you guys. Another great product demo that is funny and informative and inspiring. I have to buy the 15W. I don't even gig and am a bass player!!

[@Progimli]

Rob, you looked like a Clapton with Strat :D:)

[@budandbean1]

He does doesn't he, you're totally correct...

[@RiffLair]

So this is gonna sound silly but... I got a fender Hot Rod Deluxe 3. 40w seem A LOT!! for bedroom recording and Im all bout that sweet tube saturation. So if I crank up I ll get arrested probably. In theory the 15watt combo bassbreaker seemed a nice idea. I also use pedal. Spark booster, big muff, fuzz face, OCD drive etc. Any suggestions? Cheers.

[@en_ray]

The video I've been waiting for since NAMM

[@simonsbuddy]

Jeeeez...Chapman can play any style, can't he! And Anderton holds his own as well...Outstanding video...I'm off to buy my own Bassbreaker. Inspiring playing lads!!

[@oi-yeah-nah-mate7731]

If you have two amps playing the same thing at the same time and volume it will only be 3 dB louder

[@skrattzerat5831]

+Jordan Scotland that is because double wattage does not equal double the SPC and yet double SPC does not equal perceived 2x the volume :D. The perceived raise of double the watt would be somewhere around 23%? depending on listener and tonal frequency

[@shadeofull]

+Jordan Scotland Actually if there in perfect phase relation ship (no one is moving and you've split the signal (exact same signal into the two amps) ) then you've got a +6dB boost (only if the phase relation is stable)

[@denembro]

+Ryan K I don't know all the technical terms, but when I play two amps together, my volume gets pretty loud, to where playing one amp, I could be on 6 on the volume, but with two I'm on 4, which helps to stay a little cleaner when you play two amps. One thing I know for sure, they are in phase, because I always play two of the same amps.

[@MoANjAmSaiNT]

But a 3dB increase is twice the energy and a massive percieved difference in volume.

[@oi-yeah-nah-mate7731]

+MoANjAmSaiNT 3 dB is the smallest difference in volume that the human ear can detect during a piece of music, so it isn't a massive increase, 10 dB however is a massive increase as it is perceived as a doubling of volume

[@JeremyRayWilliams11]

I purchased one of these last week. I love it!!

[@josefeld7164]

Captain got some amazing vibrato going on there ...

[@owwwwcccchhhh]

I know right! It was super deep sounding.

[@dustinduczek4509]

Damn robs solo at the end there was the best playing I've ever heard from him. No shredding just great phrasing and note choices

[@Mitchnagel58]

I'm blow away, These sound amazing. Anyone think driving this with a distortion pedal would give a good punk tone? Like green day or blink.

[@TheAkilesh12]

hurrdurr propane joke lol I'm so original and funny hurr durr lmao

[@TheAkilesh12]

But in all seriousness, I totally agree, an angry distortion would totally make it sound great for a punk-esque tone.

[@dickdanson]

You'd be better off boosting it with an OD. This has more than enough gain

[@user-bu3mb7gk3e]

+Akilesh Menezes i love you lmao

[@TheAkilesh12]

And I love you too random citizen!

[@robertobasp5767]

Does it have a good clean? I need a typical Fender Clean with the possibility to use heavy distortion like Mesa Boogie Throttle Box.

[@stefanozurich]

I really cannot understand why Marshall hasn't been making a cheaper bluesbreaker for the last 40 years.

[@CaptAnderton]

+stefanozurich You have to wonder don't you!

[@benjo12345100]

+stefanozurich The Marshall Class 5 is basically a cheap bluesbreaker amp, very much in the same mold/price range as these fenders.

[@stefanozurich]

+benjo12345100 The Class 5s biggest flaw is that it doesn't have a master volume. Which means the creamy goodness isn't really achievable at home volumes.

[@benjo12345100]

stefanozurich You're right, but the Bluesbreaker doesn't have a master volume either, hence the Marshall Class 5 is a cheaper Bluesbreaker - type copy.

[@vinterterroristen]

+stefanozurich and a mini plexi and jcm 800. thats what the people want, or is that just me? Edit: just watched the video, i now want this, and i will buy it. No marshall for me this time.

[@benjaminrath6322]

Can you guys show pictures of what all the controls are set at? I'd like to be able to see where you're at in terms of volume, bass, mids, treble

[@spy5573]

16:45 "oh shizz, he's right. high-end fender sales are about to plummet"

[@warfire24]

Incredible sound with the Les Paul and Bassbreaker....holy cow!

[@rubentrevino6288]

I know the video is about the amp, but damn that's a beautiful les paul

[@silasantonisen]

Daaaaaaaaaaamn Chappers and The Captain sounds drunk when you slow the video down to 0.5 speed. Great video as always mates!

[@finishin.my.coffee8780]

I often speed down these videos for that specific reason!

[@smiley4288]

He's always been a great player but guessing he is just getting more confidant !!! 😎

[@GWRFan281]

I'm a home player only, would the Bassbreaker 15 be too much for home use? Would the 007 be better for my needs? I'm currently using a Yamaha THR5 that doesn't upset anyone else in the house.

[@anxiousmindmusic]

They look like Morgans. That is awesome. Please play the 007 through a cab though.

[@deejayscano]

I still haven’t understand which one is which, which model is the one on the left?

[@thisdyingsoul76]

OMG! The 15W can do everything from Fender style clean while also being capable of high gain tones. Never thought I'd say this, but I'd actually buy this head and put it to a closed back cab. Like you said, not a metal amp, but I think you could get it there with a good boost or overdrive. I might even consider this as my only amp rather than getting a high gain amp and a separate amp for clean.

[@shahedboss]

I couldn't make out the names. But what is the amp rob used in this video? The awesome one that is.

[@thisdyingsoul76]

The Bassbreaker 15 is the one that has me floored.

[@shahedboss]

+thisdyingsoul76 I knoww! Hard imagine such amazing tone from an amplifier alone. Sexy af

[@thisdyingsoul76]

And being a self confessed pedal nerd, I'd smack that with a clean boost or a Tubescreamer. Just to here it roar; but I can totally see myself downsizing or creating a basic pedalboard that has nothing but time based effects. ...well... Ok, maybe a boost for solos.

[@tjnugent62]

Nice playing Lee.... You are getting better and better.

[@jakesdaddy08]

So Fender are now making better Marshalls than Marshall!

[@Dagger_323]

jakesdaddy08 *more affordable Marshalls than Marshall. But better? No. The handwired Super Lead is still miles ahead of this.

[@lelobster8935]

Dagger 323 someone owns a Marshall and now feels insecure

[@Dagger_323]

Fascist Walrus I don't own a Marshall at all actually :) I own a Bassbreaker 45 head and 2x12 cab. I crank it up to 10 and use an attenuator to get those power tubes working into Plexi territory without going deaf. For the money, I'm absolutely convinced it's the best amp on the market. But I have played Marshalls that were owned by other people that were better. They were also nearly $2000 more than my amp. So I'll stick with my Bassbreaker. I just think the statement that it's a better amp than anything Marshall makes is a bit ludicrous. Better value and better quality are not the same thing.

[@andrewlinn11]

I want to see a shootout between the Vox AC4 C1-12 and the bass breaker 007. Make it happen guys!!! You loved the Vox ac4 with the 12 inch speaker and I would be interested to see how they compare. Especially because for the most par, they se different valves too.

[@philbrannigan5854]

The 15 looks to be a winner. Effects loop. Right volume for stage. Three really great sounds. Except for one thing. No foot switching between the gain stages. If the intention was that you'd put pedals in front of it, what's the point of the three gain stages? Hang on, I've got a solo coming up, I'd better get to the back of the stage, take my hand off the fretboard and turn a knob on my amp and twiddle a volume knob. Come on Fender, if you want to make a gigging amp for the masses, add footswitchable gain stages, better still, with three independent master volumes, and you won't be able to make enough of them. Add 100 quid to the price to pay for it, you still won't be able to make enough of them.

[@neilsthepoet]

Phil Brannigan wow Phil goes crazy.... Must be that paying attention THNG .... He gets goin..

Is that a problem, Matt Gilbert? I was thinking of getting one sometime either this year or next. I'll have to study up more.

[@gamingdc9208]

Beery the original ones had a recall cause the effects loop had noise. The older ones should all be good now, and any fender certified store can fix it for you easily if you have an old one like I do

i spent all the video open mouth ..... damn they are good and cheap ... 2 words not used very often

[@xXjuangarciaXx]

I played one at GC on a whim. I believe it was a 15 watt. I loved it, spent all day on it, played every guitar through it, and then nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the price. I am absolutely gonna own one soon

[@Kyle592]

Rob, question; do you ever think you have too many guitars? Not a criticism, but do you ever think of cutting back to a select couple?

[@NetiOP1]

Im mexican, didnt have idea that our indocumentary state problem is internationally well known.

[@123gonesurfing]

Rob Fender owes you some money, killer absolutely killer review. And an outstanding sounding amp, nice guitar too.

[@trollfiddler]

Nice outro jam. Rob even managed to sound like clapton for a bar or two on that strat! Good man Rob, learning to play real music at last :D

[@bryand.5240]

"real music" oh god another generic blues elitist

[@trollfiddler]

No,no, I just like music. Music is made by the pauses between notes. Play one note 20 times with no breaks or changes. now play the same note 20 times but leave a few gaps and maybe change the length of some of them. Which sounds like music and which sounds like just a load of notes? Shredding is just notes, music is more than that. It doesn't have to be blues.

[@bryand.5240]

Shredding isn't playing the same note 20 times, which is where your argument becomes irrelevant

[@trollfiddler]

+Mr. Señor That was an example for ease of playing if anyone wanted to try it. The point was that a load of notes all of the same duration and speed with no breaks are not music. It doesn't matter if they are the same note or not. If you sang a song that way you'd sound like a robot, whether or not you changed notes. I presume you subscribe to shredding, if so learn some stuff about melodic playing. Your playing will take a turn for the better, honestly.

[@bryand.5240]

Not at all, melody is music, time is music, you're extremely close minded

[@Laxcoach1574]

So my take is that it's a Fender that sounds like an early Marshall, which was a Fender copy. However, it doesn't seem like the Fender clean tones are there. Am I wrong? I would scoop one up if it can do the Fender cleans.

[@circaSG07]

+Bob K i too was waiting to see if the cleans would be there, but I had a really hard time... from what i can tell, this amp was made to sound dirty... if it did lovely fender'y cleans... i'd snatch one in a blink of an eye.

[@HamzaJamzaFamza]

+Bob K The Fender Cleans are easy to obtain on the bassbreaker 15, even on the highest gain of the 3 gain settings, by turning the master volume all the way up and keeping the "gain" knob turned down. I should do a review video. The amp has some really bizarre features that they keep a secret.

[@HamzaJamzaFamza]

+Samuel Gibelli It's easy to dial in the cleans on the bassbreaker 15, just turn the master volume up all the way and keep the gain turned down. Even on the high gain setting, the cleans are beautiful.

[@fueradeljuego]

No footswitch, WTF? deal breaker, no pun intended

[@tylervandall]

how do you guys think the 15 would sound through a 2x12 avatar cab? Seriously thinking about trying to make that my setup.

[@CaptainFantastik1]

I'll let you know this week. I'm getting the 15w bass breaker head and will be running it through my Avatar 2x12 closed back cab w/ V30's.

[@tylervandall]

CaptainFantastik1 Oh awesome. thanks!

[@Jakeman90210]

All fender had to do to make a good amp is make a Marshall

[@alvarengaaustin]

more like the other way around.

[@carloss1788]

+1

[@Jakeman90210]

Austin Alvarenga hows that?

[@src248]

+Scumbucker DRRi is brilliant

[@anarchocommunist9154]

+Scumbucker The original Marshalls were modified Fender Bassman circuits.

[@Justin.Franks]

@6:08 Just a clarification, the 15-watt version has an effects loop, but the 7-watt one does not.

[@jwalkrr]

anyone else slow the video down to 0.5 speed to try to learn the lick @19:19 ?? lol

[@StackProne]

No

[@AgentBlackCrow]

Great Vid. Ordered 15W head today for tomorrows delivery (UK). Oh, it's 2am, today's delivery!

[@Cvweare]

fucking donald trump....so embarrassing. Love the tones, and you guys though! :)

[@neilsthepoet]

Clayton Weare you need a good butt rubbing from another stinking lefty commie

[@RiverCityRocker]

LOL LOVE the ladder comment! Great vid guys! Great tone too!!!

[@Altroante]

450$ ? Super affordable my ass.

[@hazenstribling2646]

compared to a marshall bluesbreaker? hell yeah

[@Aint1S]

Hey Capt'n Lee, you think you could drag out the Fender American Special guitars for a head to head comparison? Like the Mustang, Telecaster, Olympic White Stratocaster HSS w/rosewood fingerboard. [HH Mustang vs. [HSS Strat] vs. Tele] Then toss in a custom shop Strat HSS for the definitive answer on the American Special being a great deal or "SPECIAL" ah hmm... 🙄

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Please feel free to mock Trump. Half of us over here recognize the idiocy. The shame is that it's only half of us....

[@neilsthepoet]

CentaurusRelax314 yes for Gods sake MORE SOCIALISM ... Like Venezuela... Russia Chine half wit

[@BenUrquidez]

How does this compare to a Blues Jr? Thinking about picking up the 15w Bassbreaker. Obviously the Jr won't be as versatile, but I'll be running pedals in front. Mostly concerned with how well pedals play with this amp.

[@bfitz111]

Afternoon Mr Chapman! Im kind of torn! I live in a small house in Dublin so the 007 really appeals to me. Is the 15 a more versatile amp? I used to own an orange AD5 and it was a little weak and boxy with the 10" speaker. I currently run an Orange TT with 2x12CB cab and would like a fender. So for cost and size the 007 looks really good but is the 15 seems like the more solid purchase for gigs and cleans(ish). ADVISE ME PLEASE?!?

[@boboliver5907]

I would like to see a shoot out with the Blackstar HT-20 combo vs Fender Bassbreaker 15 combo for versatility and all out performance.

[@xandermeadows2792]

Do you think these heads would sound good with a 4x12 Marshall cabs? I know fender and Marshall don't really go together, but these amps sound very like a Marshall.

[@Chakaflakaflame1]

Xandeeno I wanna know if it would be good in any 4x12 amp

[@fuzzyoverdrive4968]

QUESTION:: I am a casual home hobbyist using pedals - mostly keely into a 68 custom princeton reverb. I have some interest in the bassbreaker series as they have master volumes on the 07 and 15, and I am an apartment dweller. I understand the 15 is a bit more expensive, but which would your recommend for me. I thought the 07, but after watching a couple of your demos I am thinking the 15 as it still has a master volume. Does the 15 take pedals well?

[@laurensbronsveld]

@graphicartdude I went through the same journey! Though I have not tried the bugera v22 yet. Was that not to loud for home use? I am using a katana 100 watt right now. It is very quit, but can be very loud (enough to gig). I have got a joyo american sound to add some of the fender blackface sound, amazing pedal.

[@Alex051993]

Do you think the bassbreaker 1x12 cab would go well with the orange micro terror?? I like to play metal with plenty of gain.

[@SecondHandMan1]

Would have loved to hear more on the clean tone from the 15! Awesome stuff as always though!

[@Jim71]

Isn't the 15 watt basically the old machete amp? It had the gain stage stage knob too? And it sounds similar??
