The Fender Pro Jr. is a small guitar combo amp that is tube based and quite basic in make up. It has a single 10" speaker and delivers 15 watts of power, but don't let this fool you as it can really get loud. It has a single 1/4 inch input on the front and beyond this there isn't too much to this amp.
UTILIZATION
Using the Fender Pro Jr. is just about as easy as it gets to use an amp as it has minimal setting controls. It simply has two parameters - one for tone (EQ) and one for volume. Even if you don't have any experience whatsoever with guitar amps, this is as basic as it gets and I can't imagine that anyone would have any problems working this amp. There isn't much to say about the Fender Pro Jr. amp beyond this as it doesn't get any easier to use an amp than using this one.
SOUNDS
For a 15 watt amp, the Fender Pro Jr. has a great sound. It can get incredibly loud for such a small amp and has a rich and full tone that we have come to expect from Fender amps. Even though this obviously isn't the loudest or the best sounding Fender amp available, considering the size and the price, this is a great sounding amp. I didn't expect that you would be able to get such a loud sound from this amp and I found that it sounded great with a variety of instruments including of course a Fender Strat or a Fender Rhodes, in addition to pretty much any Fender electric guitar or other good electric guitar. While it doesn't have a set overdrive section, if you turn it up you will definitely get some nice sounding overdrive.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Fender Pro Jr. for about a year or so and I do believe that it is the perfect practice amp. While it will work great for recording and even for shows, it definitely works best for practice. While it will work for a live show if you mic it or even if you turn it up, since it only has a single speaker there is only so far that you can take it if you are using it with drums and a full band set up. The price is reasonable and this is an amp that I would definitely recommend to those looking for a small amp with a huge sound.
