    *(#%^@*!^*_!#

    Ugh, more GAS attacks... I've been having killer GAS for a Marshall Bluesbreaker/18 watt amp type thing for the past week and it's KILLING ME!! I didn't even get my Tweed amp yet!

    Here's a link to some videos of the new Marshall Handwired series. I played the 1974X (the one that I was interested it) about 5 times but just got frustrated that it was too loud to crank up in the store.

    Hold out for the Tweed...also, FWIW, the 18 watt Marshalls do not sound like a Bluesbreaker...nothing at all IMO. If you want a Bluesbreaker get one but don't get an 18 watter in search of the Bluesbreaker tone.

      What is the difference? I never played a Bluesbreaker amp. BTW, I am holding out for the Tweed. I just gotta wait for the reply email (and I'll probably harrass him a few times more with questions and specs) and for my financials to be ready.

        The 18 watters and the Bluesbreakers are really very different amps...everyone thinks that because that they can get an 18 watter and get the tone of a Bluesbreaker just not as loud...that could not be much further from the truth.

          Yeah the Bluesbreaker has a glassy top to it, and a really sweet clean when backed off.

          The 18w is what I call a mini-Plexi sound. It has a lot of similar characteristics to a 50w only minaturized and easy to crank without a hot plate.
