No, not the Bassbreaker, which is Fender's version of the British sound...
I'm talking about this unique "Pawn Shop Series" Excelsior amp from 2012-13. 13 watt tube goodness loaded w/ a 15". Has a volume knob, and a bright/dark tone toggle, plus a tremolo on/off/speed knob. It has a split circuit w/ the pre and power (2 6V6's!) stages separated at the top and bottom of the cabinet. There are 3 separate inputs (gtr, mic, accordion, each w/ it's own unique circuit) From all the samples I've heard, it breaks up gorgeously w/ some real grit. When dialed up, it still cleans up nice by rolling back the guitar volume, like a good amp should. Has a great vintage look as well. These can often be found in the $300 and under range.
I need another amp like a hole in the head, but this one is just so different from my vintage Fender/Marshall/National amps in tone character that I think I just have to find one.
Anyone ever heard one of these in person??
