Four new heads and combos

Introduction

Introduction

NAMM 2019: Aside from the rather more lavish ’62 Princeton Chris Stapleton, Fender seems to be keeping it simple in terms of its amp range at this years NAMM, simply adding a 30-watt Bassbreaker, new beginner guitar and bass options in the Mustang LT25 and Rumble LT25 and a Rumble 800 head. 

Browse the gallery for a closer look at the new additions...

Bassbreaker 30R

Bassbreaker 30R

The new addition to the Bassbreaker line appears to be taking a seat at the head of the table in the place of the recently phased-out 45 combo. 

In keeping with the ongoing trend for lower-volume amps, the EL84-powered 30R takes its cues from the smaller 15-watt Bassbreaker, adding channel switching, alongside an effects loop - all in 1x12 cab loaded with a Celestion V-Type speaker.

Mustang LT25

Mustang LT25

Designed for new guitarists and learners, the Mustang LT25 is a digital modelling amp with a pre-loaded tonal "greatest hits" package, bringing some of that acclaimed Mustang modelling tone to a basic practice amp setup. 

There's a colour LCD display and scroll-wheel selector onboard and the interface has been designed to be clean and clear. No risk of newbies getting lost in endless tweakable sub-menus here, then.

Rumble LT25

Rumble LT25

Much like, the Mustang LT25, the Rumble LT25 is built with new players in mind and applies the same principles as its six-string-focussed sibling. 

Namely: digital modelling, 50 preset tones from electric bass history and an intuitive interface.

The new Rumble head reportedly runs the gamut from vintage to contemporary bass sounds in a high-powered, highly portable package. 

There's a four-band EQ, plus built-in overdrive and bright, contour and vintage switches to help sculpt a wide range of tones.
