Brit Breaker

Brit Breaker

The Marshall Bluesbreaker is a legendary combo amplifier first introduced in the mid-1960s, most famously used by Eric Clapton with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. It features dual EL34 power tubes, a pair of 12-inch speakers, and delivers around 30-35 watts of output. Renowned for its warm, dynamic, and harmonically rich overdrive, the Bluesbreaker is celebrated for its touch sensitivity and classic British blues-rock tone, making it a highly sought-after amp for both studio and live performance.
