Fender Bassbreaker 007 7-Watt

Fender · amplifier

The Fender Bassbreaker 007 is a 7-watt all-tube guitar combo amplifier from Fender, inspired by vintage small-format Fender Princeton circuits. Single EL84 output tube delivers the clean, chimey Fender character with natural single-ended tube breakup as volume increases. At 7W it achieves power tube saturation at manageable studio and home volumes. The Bassbreaker 007 is part of Fender Bassbreaker series designed to capture vintage Fender clean tone with a British-influenced edge.
