The Modern Workhorse: 2019 Fender Bassbreaker 30R

The Fender Bassbreaker 30R is the evolution of the legendary Bassbreaker series, offering the "missing link" features players demanded: footswitchable channel switching and integrated high-fidelity reverb. This specific unit is a highly sought-after February 2019 "First Edition" build, manufactured in Ensenada, Mexico, during the model's debut month.

Key Tonal Characteristics

Unlike the scooped "American" sound of a typical Fender, the 30R is powered by a quartet of EL84 tubes, delivering a punchy, mid-forward "British" growl reminiscent of classic 1960s stack tones, but with Fender’s signature cleans intact on Channel 1.

Features & Highlights:

  • Production Provenance: Verified February 14, 2019 build date with Schumacher transformers (EIA606 1840).
  • Dual-Channel Versatility: Toggle between shimmering cleans and high-gain "boutique" distortion.
  • Gain Boost: Dedicated footswitchable boost on Channel 2 for effortless lead transitions.
  • Studio Ready: Built-in XLR Direct Out with speaker emulation and power mute for silent recording or direct-to-PA performance.
  • Premium Speaker: Loaded with a 12" Celestion® V-Type speaker for balanced, vintage-meets-modern response.
  • Condition: Excellent cosmetic condition with original Grey Tweed (Nubtex) Tolex. Footswitch included (footswitch cable not included). Cover Included. Power Cord Included
