An OLD and a NEW Marshall Blues Breaker compared!

The new Vintage Reissue Blues Breaker from Marshall will surely be a top seller. Let's compare to an old one. Big thank you to my buddy Clemens for letting me borrow his!

Yep, sounds the same to me! One can't expect to set the knobs EXACTLY the same but like showed, there are similar tones in nearby settings. Hope to get one and compare myself, nice job Sasha!

Great and honest review. It's absolutely right to talk about component tolerances in electronics—something not many people go into detail about. Listening to your samples with good headphones, I noticed only slight differences, nothing earth-shattering and nothing that couldn't be adjusted with a bit of knob-tweaking. Marshall did a great job with this reissue, and I understand the frustration of those who make clones or who spent too much on the original version.
PS: I have the original Shredmaster—the reissue sounds the same, or almost

Excellent test, but what an epiphone special ! Happy to see the futur vidéo about it, and all the spec, pickups, paint remove and New painting

[pieter]

They did heck of a job on this one. Great comparison!

Great video, got an old mk1 BB today; I feel they sound less ‘bitey’ than the re-released / newer ones. As others suggest, it really is a on a case-by-case basis for the older ones due to component fatigue with age. Definitely something you should try before you buy, as no two will sound the same. However, they will generally be more warm and mellow compared to the newer ones, and this is what I was after. Your video helped me decide, so thank you!

They both sound great. Maybe the old one is a bit warmer?

[jaripalom]

I think this video showcases the differences well! I have both (just wanted to find out how big the difference between vintage classics and the reissues are). You could say that they sound 95-99% indentical, but once you've used them both, the differences become apparent. The reissue actually has more of that amp-in-a-box type of a feel, whereas the original sounds more "like an OD pedal", but sure, I prefer the original.

[cvo]

Old and new sound the same. If you would compare 2 original ones, they wouldn't sound 100% exactly the same, because the values of the electronic components have tolerances (the older ones more than new ones) and also they tend to shift a little over time. Think the prices of the original ones will go down now.

Sasha man…the hell with which one when you’re playing 🔥like that!! Can’t wait to have a Bluesbreaker of my own, but damn man LOVE your playing!!

[judehanley]

Reissue sounds much better. Nice job Marshall!

[dustinarnold]

As someone with both the browne amplification carbon sounds better than both

[aldanino]

Thank you for the comparison and hats off to your chops man really enjoyed your opening jam

[wabisabi]

Has anyone compared this reissue with the MXR Duke of Tone and the Boss OD3?

[informiert-youtube]

Hello Sasha, great playing, thank you. One question, is the intro the old or the new one? Greets

[bradwoods]

They are exactly the same. The only reason the old one will sound different is because of component value drift over the years.

[dannyllerenatv]

The new one with the gain cranked sounds a bit more "Marshall-y" maybe? But the difference is as minimal as you can ask for a reissue. Ordered!

[TempusDan]

Check out the Blammo blues breaker clone too, fantastic pedal. I tried to tell Sasha about Blammo a few months back, he's based out of Oregon. I think Sasha's just too busy or "just another crazy American" maybe? lol All good though.

[Dzika_Astronomia]

Do you still think that Sire S3 (basic version) is a good guitar?

[diversionesconvenuslausinr]

Sound exactly same. no spend the money on the older.my first pedal was a drive master. the blues breaker drive and shreed was pedal more cheap like a boss. sounds really good, but not for 600€ buy the new one
