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.

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

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.
@bbnatedogg9 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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.

I got the 45 watt head. Supposedly the only bassbreaker that has the 59 tonestack. Whatever that is it sounds great. The only thing i don't like is the wattage attenuator does very little to the volume. At one watt it's as loud as at 45 it's just not as full sounding. Nice review :)

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 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.

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.

I'm going with the 45 watt one I'm hoping it sounds kinda like an old jtm 45

Add a real spring reverb and this amp would be perfect!

Is there a way I can connect this head to my fender mustang iii combo amp?(use the combo like a cab)
@LehighValleyPhoto9 жыл бұрын
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 KZbin. As I remember it, I believe he said, "the tweed was the bluesbreaker..." For what it's worth--

You should do a tube amp intro for people who don't get them ;-)

may be a dumb question but im new to amps can the 7 watt play by itself without the extra amp or stack
@purplefryer19879 жыл бұрын
No pal you'll need to connect to an external cab housing a speaker. The head is just circuitry and valves no speaker

Do you know if a dual switch, from a Deluxe Reverb, would work?
@PhillipMcKnight9 жыл бұрын
+LehighValleyPhoto Not sure, if it has a mono plug it should work but if it has a stereo tip, ring, sleeve I do not think it will work. But it can not hurt to try.

Can a 7 watt head be as loud as a 100 watt head if they're both going through the same cab?
@garrettfinan2958 жыл бұрын
i was gonna ask this question but sadly no one has answered :/
@tireiron17608 жыл бұрын
No, but if you really like the preamp of the 7 watt, you can slave it to the powersection of a 100 watter pretty easily. I know the 15 wat has a line out, not sure about this one though, but it can be done, and be sure to put a load on the speaker out. If you run this into a 412 or 212 it will be louder than one might suppose, but what we are really talking here is volume to head room. Is volume really what you're after? Do you want to take the broken up sound and amplify that? if yes, then you ought to slave it.
@alexleezer75388 жыл бұрын
+tireiron thanks. I understand now. I don't really play at loud volumes cause it's just for home so I guess a 7 watt would be fine (even though I would still probably get a 15 watt lol). Again, thanks for the info.

Cool, I have the 15 watt head, I highly recommend it.
