JTM45 Bluesbreaker reissue 2x12

[David J]

I've worked out a trade for one of these guys and I'm just wondering if you all have any clips of this amp? I won't be able to even see it until the weekend at the earliest let alone plug it in.

With one notable exception, youtube has been failing me miserably in regards to quality representations of what this amp really sounds like.

This being the exception:

Anybody here have any clips/experience they could share?

Sorry, no clips here, but let me say that when slightly tweaked, that is one of my favorite amps (owned two of them).

One of the mags (Premier Guitar?) had an article about some major tweaking the guy did to get his Blues Breaker Reissue to sound more like the original. One of the big steps was replacing the smaller cabinet with a larger one the same size as the original.

Had one of these when they first came out...sounded pretty close the YT clip, but it's gotta move a bit of air before you get there. The later ones have a deeper cab like the originals, and can accommodate KT-66 valves which were the key to the 45's sound. Of course, you can go as overboard as you like with the tweaks, but out of the box and serviced, they are a great 2x12 NMV combo.
