The Bassbreaker 15 is a versatile 15-watt amp that delivers the big, thick and crunching tone sound of pure tube greatness, with a special preamp gain structure control and many other great features. Bassbreaker guitar amplifiers continue the acclaimed lineage established by the great Fender Bassman® amp of the late 1950s, taking classic Bassman design and "breaking" it with features including unusual-for-Fender circuitry and components, dark gray tweed covering, refined pointer knobs, and the early Fender block-letter logo. With its full sound and distinctive style, the Bassbreaker 15 comes in combo and head models ideal for stage and studio alike. Its preamp gain structure control lets players effortlessly shift gears among three impeccably voiced tonal flavors from clean sparkle to bluesy crunch to full-on burn. Bassbreaker 15 also features a bright switch for extra brilliance, shimmering reverb, convenient front-panel mute switch, recording-quality speaker emulated line out, dual EL84 output tubes, a 12" Celestion® speaker for tighter rock distortion (combo model), impedance select switch and more. The Bassbreaker 15 head pairs neatly with the Bassbreaker BB-112 and BB-212 speaker enclosures. Register your Bassbreaker 15 online at www.fender.com/product-registration.
