1962 ‘bluesbreaker’

John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers playing with Eric Clapton is what gave the 1962 ‘Bluesbreaker’® its name. This 2x12” combo reissue has the legendary deep blues tone created by the GZ34 valve rectifier, similar to the JTM45. However, with two re-issued Celestion Greenback speakers it’s sonic characteristics differentiate it and give it that recognisable sound. This 30W classic may not shout the loudest but its vintage tone means its personality stands out from the crowd.
