These were rhetorical problems that didn’t currently impact me, but it’s not unreasonable to think I might jam with someone in the future. But there were four issues – the internal 10 inch speaker didn’t sound good, there was no reverb, there was no effects loop to add a reverb, and it wouldn’t be loud enough if I ever wanted to play with a real drummer or band.
I was running my Bassbreaker 007 through a 12 inch cab, which I enjoyed a lot and which sounded great. I don’t know why – I think it covers clean, crunch, and overdrive extremely well. My second favorite is the Marshall DSL40, which for some reason gets a bad rap. However, the Bassbreaker 15 is my favorite amp for under $700. With the Fender Bassbreaker 15 (which I now own) I’d like to say the search is over. Like many, my journey to find the perfect “budget” guitar amp has been an ongoing thing. Update: To hear what this amp sounds like, check out my Bassbreaker video!
