{"product_id":"bassbreaker-15-hd","title":"Fender Bassbreaker 15 HD 15-Watt Tube Head Guitar Amplifier","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA Fender Head That Goes Places Fender Didn't Used To Go\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bassbreaker 15 HD is a genuinely interesting amp from Fender — one that deliberately steps away from the sparkling clean tradition the brand is famous for. Built around a trio of 12AX7 preamp tubes feeding into two EL84 power tubes, this 15-watt all-tube head was designed to explore the grittier, more aggressive side of the classic Bassman circuit. The result is an amp with real range: from tight, articulate cleans with the Structure switch in its low position, all the way to thick, cranked-up crunch in the high position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-position Gain Structure switch is the heart of this amp. Each setting delivers a genuinely distinct tonal character — not just more or less gain, but a different feel and response from the circuit itself. Pair that with a Bright switch, a 3-band EQ, and a Master volume, and you have a lot of shaping power in a compact head format. The onboard digital hall reverb is level-adjustable and adds depth without dominating the signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're a player who wants a tube head that covers more than one style of music, works on stage and in the studio, and doesn't weigh a ton at 25.5 lbs, the Bassbreaker 15 HD is worth a serious look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Voices, One Switch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gain Structure switch is the defining feature here. Fender designed it to give the amp three distinct \"boutique\"-like voices in a single channel — from tight and clear to open and overdriven to full, aggressive crunch. You're not just adjusting a gain knob; the switch actually changes the character of the preamp circuit, so each position feels like a different amp voicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single channel keeps things simple to navigate, and the controls — Bright, Gain, Structure, Bass, Middle, Treble, Master, and Reverb — give you plenty of room to dial things in from there. Players who prefer a pedal-driven rig will also appreciate how the circuit responds to input signal and volume swells from the guitar itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRecording-Ready Right Out of the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bassbreaker 15 HD includes a speaker-emulated XLR line output with a ground lift switch, which lets you plug straight into a console or interface and capture tube tone without a mic. The Power Amp Mute function lets you use that XLR output completely silently — no cabinet required — which is a real asset in a studio or apartment setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn effects loop (¼\" preamp out \/ power amp in) sits on the back panel for placing time-based or modulation effects after the preamp stage. The amp also features two parallel ¼\" speaker output jacks with a selectable impedance switch covering 4, 8, and 16 ohms, so it's compatible with a wide range of extension cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Look and the Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bassbreaker series has a distinctive aesthetic that's clearly rooted in Fender history but with a modern edge. The cabinet is covered in dark gray lacquered tweed with a classic Fender block logo and oversized pointer knobs. The cabinet itself is built from 7-ply ¾\" particle board. At 25.5 lbs, it's one of the more manageable tube heads you'll find at this power level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe amp runs on a solid-state rectifier, which contributes to its tight, immediate response — especially noticeable in the low and mid gain Structure positions. For players who want that punchy, controlled feel rather than the sag of a tube rectifier, that's a feature, not a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 watts, Class A\/B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2x EL84\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreamp Tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3x 12AX7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRectifier:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid State\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannels:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single channel with 3-position Gain Structure (voice) switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright switch, Gain, Structure, Bass, Middle, Treble, Master, Reverb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffects Loop:\u003c\/strong\u003e ¼\" series effects loop (preamp out \/ power amp in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR with switchable speaker emulation and ground lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Amp Mute:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — enables silent recording via XLR out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two ¼\" parallel jacks; impedance selectable at 4, 8, or 16 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReverb:\u003c\/strong\u003e Level-adjustable digital hall reverb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-ply ¾\" particle board with dark gray lacquered tweed covering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.75\" H x 19.56\" W x 8.81\" D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fender\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bassbreaker 15 HD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2263000000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
