Fender BassBreaker 18/30 vs. Supersonic 22

Your choice and why. Go. This is more of a window shopping question at this point, but I am interested in the group's experiences.

Well hold the phone. I think I like the idea of the Bassbreaker 45 way better, because instead of 18 or 30, you get an attenuator from 1 to 45, and it is based on the Bassman circuit with some marshall touches.

I wish I had played the 45 watt version while out and about this weekend. Having an attenuator would be a good thing to have for that beast!

I played a Bassman RI this past week, and there is something about that tweed growl. It was loud, but glorious!

I think it's really hard to decide without mentioning for which project: To my ears the Sonic 22 sounds much better but I also think that the demo is far better recorded than the Bassbreaker noodling. I love the clarity of the Sonic 22.

The supersonic in clean mode had more of that Fender clean sound that I like personally.
