Crank Those EL84s
Taking its cues from the supercharged high gain and lush reverb of the Bassbreaker 15, the 30-watt Bassbreaker 30R tube guitar combo amp adds channel switching for precise, foot-switchable control over your clean and dirty sounds, while the built-in effects loop give you additional options for custom tailoring your tone. With its single 12" Celestion V-Type speaker, the 30R packs the punch of crunchy Bassbreaker tone. Four EL84 output tubes sparkle with crispy cleans; hit them hard and drive them into classic bratty breakup with incendiary midrange distortion — or anything in between — with wonderful responsiveness to your pick attack and control settings from mid- to high-gain. On stage or in the studio, the raw power is in your hands with the Fender Bassbreaker 30R.

Wattage that wants to be cranked
Thirty watts of tube power is perfect for the studio — or any gig. In small to mid-sized venues, you can crank it up and achieve parity with your drummer without overpowering the rest of the band. In the studio, it's low powered enough to get the power section really cooking, giving you control over the responsiveness and saturation characteristics of the EL84 output tubes. Whenever your power tubes are working that hard, it adds a level of touch sensitivity to your amp's performance — and Sweetwater guitarists know that's often difficult to attain at a reasonable volume.
