All user reviews for the Fender Blues Junior

Tube amp etc. ... it's always the same config. My Blues Junior is the basic model, the next generation.
He has a good look anyway. I like seeing the 'diamond'. It's stupid but I like it. On such small amp there could have been seeing a plastoc. Besides the rest is aesthetically coherent. It looks vintage combo. In short pass, it's everyone's tastes.
I read on this page that the settings were not on top. I always thought the opposite! Three knobs for EQ that are effective. I play rock, I get my set in two seconds. I play jazz, I put the bass 3, treble and midrange to 3 to 8 and go! The reverb is a little afraid, okay, but I do not buy an amp for the reverb. And since it is there, and well, I'm using ...
The button 'FAT' adds fat to the sound. In fact I am not using the amp without the 'FAT'. The interest for me is to work the amp to the max.

UTILIZATION

Work to make the amp max: This is also where the strength of the Blues Junior. Imagine that for stage I ask to rent an amp for me not to carry it on the train. They rarely provide me with anything other than the hot rod deluxe (the big brother of the blues junior). The latter is probably very good, but the problem is that I've never made more than 1.5. Result, I never use the lamps to good diet and I have a tiny sound of kiki (all transparent and bodiless) on stage just to not tear the ears of others zicos (this is music that sound almost I do, so not too much volume).
With the blues junior is different. I push the volume and master up to three (not below it sounds), and there magic!, He began to roar and the sound is to die for. The volume is not necessarily the strongest but the sound is much better.
And it can still send 'naughty when pushed a little. I do not even see the point of having a bigger amp. In repeat I am not ready to put it back on stage and there are returns. then the walls of Marshall amp to Iron Maiden is over!

SOUNDS

I played with jazz guitars (half case), a sheraton 2, a Strat. Everything sounds good, with a preference for the sounds 'round' (type gibson). For some time with a HBE powerscreamer overdrive and I really broke out. Looks like this pedal was made to go with.
it has been said, but the effects go well in this amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year. I bought it quickly because I needed a lamp versatile amp for the studio and because I knew it would sell easily seen its popularity. Finally the more I play, the more I feel that I will keep it a good time.
Some of the change. I will change the HP may be one day for a greenback but today I will like that.
it may be a tad expensive (530 euros for me), but everyone knows that the price you think the day of purchase, the quality however, you think about every day.
I conclude with this sentence that I authorize you to quote.

well we know

UTILIZATION

uh I think yes

SOUNDS

Then this is the slap because this amp is modified
the input transformer and output have been changed by mercury
the hp is a weber alnico condos have changed by oranges
lamps by lamps (all) of cryo English at Watford Valves
a detail of the output tubes and it's not EL84 E84L is not the same thing that makes more sins
and especially the sound is warmer.

result sound garish original no longer exists and make room has a more versatile with incredible presence, a gentle compression and low

OVERALL OPINION

3 or 4 years I do not know
I heard not when I say that's
the reverb is bad
the value moueh but I'm with modif in the upscale
yes I do it again this choice

See other opinions or characteristics of the manufacturer.

I NOTE THE BLUES JUNIOR MADE IN MEXICO 2 telex, CREAM BOARD

UTILIZATION

Simple and intuitive (except taken to pedal and HP).
The sound is good, the reverb is poor beyond Level 2.
We must push a little to get a good sound especially with the second channel (button down).

SOUNDS

it's perfect for blues, rock.
j'obtient mostly clean sounds, crunch, and a slight distortion (blues), for cons for Hard rock is not possible.
Guitar squier stratocaster deluxe (SSS), fender stratocaster United States (SSS).
I like the sounds I made an Excel spreadsheet with my various settings.

Note, with a multi-effect, as I try (BOSS GT-10, DIGITECH RP255) is really very average (I will soon try with analog pedals).

OVERALL OPINION

3 years of intensive use.
This is the only amp that I use regularly, I try other long enough to really compare.
+ Pros: The simplicity of the whole lamp, clear sound and distortion, the warmth of sound when you push a little sound.
- Cons: Sometimes the sizzle, the reverb (I have changed a RUBY TANKS), I changed what I did not like (see site for many BILLM info on this amp in ENGLISH) a manufacturing defect repair by a single weld.

A thought: it is better to buy a more expensive amp that works well with all, rather buy a cheaper amp and make modifications necessary but not see the difference (reverb, solder, capacitors, reglgae bias, add button LINE, EH 12AX7, EL84 JJ) thereafter (thus losing the 5-year warranty). Otherwise purchase for editing.

But we must recognize that for a tube amp for "apartment" is really not bad, I always find its sounds, and it's always a pleasure.

Combo 15 Watt All Tube (2 EL84 power and two 12AX7 in pramp)
EQ 3-band: Treble, Middle and Bass
A grant-knob reverb
-A "Volume" which acts on the volume of prampli and a "Master" who gre gnral volume.
One-switch "fat" supposed to give body to the sound.
Hp output into 8 ohms, a footswitch jack to enable / disable the Fat.

My version, while buying new this year is a panel rglages Submitted chrom.
The finish is exceptional, the new version has a black panel also benefitted from amliorations in this area.
All knobs are gradus 1 12: louder than Spinal Tap!

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple and will basically the amp is single channel, dpourvu loop effects. Plug 'n' Play are the watchwords.
Some regret labsence a standby ... if only one gaffe to make time for heating / cooling, the lamps should last, especially since it is Groove Tubes, the rf ences in the Contents.

The main strength of this amp is its relationship qualitprix / weight / power. It can carry around everywhere, concerts RPTES, quite easily and we can make blush power tubes without exploding the ears of everyone.

Strong point, you can switch between lead and rhythm sound has a clean sound simply by assaying the attack and grant the volume knob: thank you to the single channel!

SOUNDS

I play Rock, Blues, Heavy Metal or Hard. I am interested in Jazz recently also.
The amp does not have as many 6L6 Fender, they are EL84, rather common to Vox amplifiers, which in this sigent Blues Junior. This hybrid mid gtrain rsulte a Fender, Vox half, trs singing, leaping with mids.
The amp starts to sing vritablement when the master is the third party.

The grain base of the amp is definitely bluesy. Warm, it is difficult to get out a clear its strictly Manir has a Twin or a Roland Jazz Chorus.
Outright saturation is unattainable, the volume of pramp located on 12 gives at best a crunch pushed. We will not fawn all bought this amp to make Mtal ... has less to add to it one or more pedals!

The amp as a level hair chtif its grain and my taste, I added an MXR Micro Amp to give it body and shine no more. Leads for Rock or Blues, I boost with an Ibanez TS808 and when I want more rubber, activate a Proco Rat. The versatility of the amp it is dmultiplie, and as long as one chooses good pedals, it does not lose momentum, thanks to the low power of the amplifier and simplicity of its design! The amp accepts pedals well trs of Manir gnrale.

I play a Stratocaster, a Les Paul and a Flying V.

I do not find that the legalization particulirement be effective, but it will calm a Telecaster too bright or too dull a Les Paul.
The original speaker does not seem to capture the richness that the amp could offer ... Can I be the change one day! ^ ^

The new versions seem to be more versatile and offer a much better saturation. Yet it is the version "chrome" that I chose because it seemed warmer, less sharp ... basically, if your thing is the riff Keith Richards and Rory Gallagher, the Blues Junior III you will get better. I was looking for a grain closer to that of Vaughan, I am delighted.

Note that to have it plugged into a Marshall 4x12, this little Fender can be transformed into bte Hard / Blues Vintage, confirming the Reserved What many users on the quality of the firm / loudspeaker. I also think a 1960 Marshall acqurir trs soon so I will appreciate the combination! ^ ^

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for about 1 month.
I possdais before a Mesa Boogie Mark II, for the absolutely outstanding sound, at first silent far too powerful for home use or even live (they taient barjos has the power issue era srieux ...)
So I was looking to replace just a small portable lamps and usable volume level.
From the Hard Basically, I have become over time a big fan of Blues. And I think better a vintage amp that can boost an amp sound that's Higain donf and which can not draw any distinction!

The Class 5, in Marshall is great, but the abscence of the Master pnalise lot to me. In addition, it Submitted as 5 watts, and if 50 or 100 is often too much, 15 watts Submitted an excellent compromise.
The Vox AC-15 Custom Classic gnial also silent, but not as warm and fat than the Fender could be.
In this price range, and single-channel (my favorite setup!) The Blues Junior is untouchable in my opinion for those who love the Blues Rock.

I would do exprience with this choice, even if I think in the future to add to it an AC15 or a Marshall, because the Blues Junior is not everything.

DEFINITIONS In and as others before me have said, I'd say this amp is an excellent compromise between power usable, affordable prices, a warm grain, a dynamic and well-tural weight quite acceptable. This is not the best amp in the world, but it does a good job

I was surprised at how great this Fender Hot Rod Series Amp actually was. I was able to dial in a sound that I liked out of all 16 preamps. The clean and distortion channels all sound great at low and high volumes. This amp is more than loud enough to play over a drummer.


UTILIZATION

A lot of the presets are even pretty good, but I would definitely recommend spending some time dialing in your own tones because of how versatile this amp is - you can pretty much get any sound you want.

SOUNDS

Another thing I like about this amp is that you can plug the amp directly into your computer for recording. The built in tuner is easy to use, but the screen is pretty small so it's a little hard to read. The effects are very good, definitely comparable to what you would get from something like a Boss compact pedal. It is pretty light at 36 pounds, and is very easy to carry around if you're going to a friend's house with it. i would definitely recommend the FBV MKII ($200) to go along with this, it makes it way easier to use, and you pretty much need a pedal if you're going to be playing live though.


OVERALL OPINION

I play an Epiphone Les Paul Studio Limited Edition through this one and all of a sudden I'm a rocker (I'm really not, but it sure seems like I am and that is all that is important!) The thing about this amp is that it is fun and because it's not that expensive, you won't be worried about how much you paid. .I recommend this to anyone not just using a Les Paul but to almost any guitar on the market, even a cheap one. The Fender Hot Rod Series amp will make it sound top notch no matter what. Try It!

The Fender Blues Junior is like a smaller version of the famed Hot Rod Deluxe and Deville amps, right down to the cosmetics! It features 15 watts of tube EL84 power, and it has a single channel with basic EQ as well as a "fat" switch (which pumps up the midrange and gain a bit) and onboard reverb as well. It features just a single speaker and is very portable and light, a definite plus for a small gigging amp. It has a great Fenderesque sound as well which has made it very popular over the years with players of all styles.

UTILIZATION

Getting a good sound out of this amp is pretty easy. It's only a single channel so it doesn't take much to really dial in and get tones happening. The EQ is similar to the other Fender amps I've tried - it's quite responsive and reacts well to subtle or extreme EQ changes. The fat switch in particular is a great thing to have - it allows the user to really coax some more midrange and gain out of the amp to get some more singing tones for lead work. This amp does have a decent bit of gain on tap which is nice for classic rock or fusion type sounds.

SOUNDS

This guitar seems to react well with both Strats/Teles and humbucker loaded guitars such as Gibsons or PRSi. The amp has a very neutral voice that accepts both the brighter Fender guitars and the darker Gibsons equally well. The clean tones are very Fenderesque - rich and warm with a hint of delicious sparkle and chime, especially when using a dash of reverb and a Strat. The drive tones go from very mild gain (think classic rock) to some thicker and chewier overdriven sounds that work best for single note lead work. I find the highest gain sounds get a bit muddy for chord work due to the small speaker, so I'd say it's best for lead work solely.


OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the Fender Blues Junior is a great little amp for someone looking for a great portable and good sounding Fender amp for small gigs or recording. Many players have used these over the years and they're very popular around the world. They sell for about $300 used which is a good deal considering how good the tones are for the price. It's definitely worth a look if you're in need of a small amp that sounds great.

15W all-tube amp Fender

The mine dates from 2007 I think ... dating to the c * n Fender.

UTILIZATION

Forget the modeling, digital and other
Here we are in the simple, lights, sound.

The manual is on a page.

Input, master 3-band EQ, volume (gain) and a small button 'fat' to accentuate the bluesy side.

This is an amp everything simple.

SOUNDS

I play rock / funk / pop ... a little of everything. RHCP, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Clapton ...
It suits me in terms of power (15W terrible!)
In terms of sound, it may be too falls into the clean

It's simple: even at max gain, it is still at a fairly moderate crunch.
This is a blues amp typed, with a typical Fender sound, very nice bass, treble and not too garish. A round, we obtain a good sound easy, but to attack a little, rock, this lack of aggressiveness.
It sounds very strong and very good for a 15W at that price. But metalheads go your way.

I play a Fender Mexican Start 60's type.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a year, I separated for a Marshall, the sound more suited to what I play.

I can highly recommend that a small budget who wants a real nice tube amp sound.
In addition to fans of the soldering iron, there are upgrades to be done (it seems).
I also have a Vox Cambridge 15 transistor is more common.

Economically, this is not a loss, bought at 350, it sells for the same price without worry.

This is an excellent price / quality ratio, and at least a nice discovery.

I loved having this amp, it gave me a better knowing where I was going.

lamps 15W amp input, an output for fat pedal not included but simple cross, making extra HP, not stand by no effects loop

UTILIZATION

an adjustable channel, volume, treble, mid, bass, gain, reverb and a small inter "fat"
you turn the pots a little and listen if the result is not found quickly the suitable one should try another amp
found on the internet forums with lots of examples of more or less good, but that test

SOUNDS

I like it I found after a few months that the grain was still a little too far and a lack of "clean" a brief blues well as the name indicates, moreover,
I tried several combinations of lamps and I stayed on three Telefunken AX7 sound became cleaner I recently changed the HP for Eminent cannabis rex and I really like the more round and warm with fine treble not aggressive low and neat and my tube screamer type pedal (home) goes much better for a light crunch
lace sensor pickups stratocaster deluxe everything goes though I prefer the intermediate positions (2 and 4)
Cort source with C57 pickups gibson jazz well if desired
the big crunch does not then the big m'emballent saturation it seems to me not his thing (but not mine either)
as it is now if I put 8 7

OVERALL OPINION

I resumed the guitar after many long years so I just bought a small secondhand peavey
I also played on a hot rod too powerful but that gave me lights on I want to find this one hand and still under warranty
I also knew I wanted a fender sound rather it is not necessarily the best home is not a defect but it is a different type that's all.
it is simple good classic rock blues sounds a bit weak next to HP for real clear sound but only use that I felt some do not complain.
a remake? can be but I changed things that were not binding but I prefer now there are many new models of low power lamps should try it because it is too powerful to play in a small room (the SCXD going much better)
good quality amp / right price (it is cheaper now) but think about his real needs and try before you buy

The specs for starters: small single-channel combo 15w lamps, 2 EL84 power and two 12AX7 preamp in, spring reverb, no loop, a bowl Eminence 12 "8ohms, all in a small cab unfortunately a little cheap.

In terms of settings, there is the necessary but no more: gain (called "volume "...), three band EQ, reverb and master, plus a small switch" fat "is essentially a mid-boost.

In my case, in this price range and amps, I see nothing to add (I'm not very customer loop effects) and nothing to remove.

UTILIZATION

I have not read the manual, whose main interest is - for DIYers - include a diagram of the amplifier. Anyway, no need manual for an amp of this type (unless you have never used a guitar amp), it's very plug and play.

SOUNDS

The eq is decent but not stunning enough effective provided (there are those who are not afraid to get out the soldering iron a few very simple changes which, it seems, make the tone stack much more efficient). The reverb, argued that without an old Twin is quite musical and not the next "pool" from that of the Vox AC15.

The remains fairly clean typed Fender, both friendly and well crystalline, while having a specific color EL84 - less excavated and less deep bass with the 6V6 / 6L6 usual brand, but in against a small side " chemistry "that made the reputation of Vox (even if it is not at all in the same area, the circuits are very different). That said, do not expect to keep a clean really clean volume to repeat, it is a 15W so it twists quite quickly even with low gain (it's a little fact for that matter).

In crunch, we feel a very bright amp, and this time quite different from the signature Fender. It's very medium of travel (EL84 + small open cab, do not expect to have the Oumph a Marshall or Mesa 4x12 closed on either), but very song (thank you EL84) and warm. I'm talking about the crunch of the power stage - that obtained at low volume amount of the gain is usable race (and quite nice) but rather all-purpose (of course since this is the distortion of the 12AX7, which equips 99 preamps% of the market). A volume of repeat always, playing between the gain and master, and (of course) as microphones, you can go almost a clean starting to drool a quite big overdrive. It is always typed enough vintage, so it will fit perfectly for blues, garage, classic rock. For the metal, go your way! -)

Other well known as the Junior Blues: it works very well with tubescreamers, OD and various distos. Besides my old TS-09, I tested it a few OD and distos at all from the high-end, and all went well, we feel the respective characters of the guitar, the pedal and the amp.

The fact that it is single channel can be disadvantageous if one wishes to switch its clear and crunch, but it also has a nice clean sound at lower volume (I mean, low volume on a 15w lamp is still quite box), this amp is primarily made to be pushed (hard to maintain its _really_ clear to the volume of repeats). At least there is no making head is opened and we send

Major weakness, for against, the bowl a bit noisy (seems that the latest version is a bit better) and, especially, the cab pretty cheap and in any case too small. I first changed the bowl for Eminence Legend GB 12 / 8 (greenback-like an excellent price / quality ratio), and was already a marked improvement - better defined bass, midrange singing even more, acute and less screaming. Subsequently I put the bowl in my Hotrod (cab bigger and stronger), I took the test and connect the HP port of the cab of the BJR HRDx, and this is seen limits: as amply, the BJR is really good, but the cab is not up to par. I then could test (briefly) the BJR on a marshall 4x12, and all of a sudden this little thing even prove useful for the large hard-rock riff (well, with the shovel is going well and a hand tube screamer).


OVERALL OPINION

Well, after that is a 15W combo nine to 500 € (you can find opportunities for € 350 or less), so should not be too demanding, and being able to carry with one hand even when you are a shrimp like me is pretty nice. Since nothing prevents plug it into a cabinet when needed, it is an acceptable compromise.

In summary: if you want a little amp easily transportable, used at home (well, in a house in any case - in an apartment, I guarantee nothing), powerful enough to play in groups and tailored to the blues and rock, try this one, on occasion it is an excellent quality / price ratio in its class. on the other hand, if you want crystal clear sound at high volume, distortion or a nag like metal, or if you have a taste for gas plants, go your way ....

I ended up selling this amp after going on HRDx (more suited to my needs at the time, but not fundamentally "better"), but I miss a few times, the drive was more singing.


Note 1: For robustness, I have not had the amp long enough to speak. That said, the Bjr is a small tube amps in the world's best-selling, and it seems that he shows in general rather reliable. In any case I had no problem with the few months of use (home & repeat).

Lamp, 15 watts, jack, simple adjustments

UTILIZATION

no need for manual

SOUNDS

I play blues, jazz, rock, pop etc. ...
This versatile amp if you have a good pedal with "equ" and the sound palette that goes well for my part I use with BOSS ME 70 of that makes me the equ.
This amp is a bit garish in acute if one branch without Equ ...

OVERALL OPINION

1 year I am all my gigs (up to 100 people if you have a good mic for the back) because it is light (if I have a twin amp) cheap for what it makes! For if you want some hand made it three times the price! Normal.

15 watt all tube amp with 2xEL84 and 3X12ax7s
12" speaker by eminence
Solid state rectifier
Reverb, Master, Middle, Bass, Treble, "Fat" Switch, Volume

This is the most basic an all tube amp can get, single channel, low wattage and minimal controls. Very simple yet very effective. Just goes to show what guitar players can do with minimal equipment and/or what guitar players NEED vs what they WANT.


UTILIZATION

Very simple to use. Plug in, wait a few seconds, and play.

Tweak the knobs till you get what you want the amp to sound like.

Suits my current needs, which is just a low watt tube amp that's clean so I can plug my distortion pedals in and get my sounds that way at lower volumes for late night practices as well as make recording a heck of a lot of a more comfortable environment.

SOUNDS

Sounds great! It's got the classic fender twang that you'd expect from fender clean amps. There isn't much more to say about this as everything has already been said about fender amps and the blues jr for maybe the past 30+ years!

I like the fact that this amp delivers the same classic fender clean sound with such minimal effects/knobs etc. It's so basic yet sounds so great. Of course it's 15 watts but there is still a lot of headroom and the clean can be remain clean at band volumes depending on the drummer and what style of music one is playing. I've seen these amps used with live jazz bands from coffee shops to full out stadiums (mic'ed of course). They seem to hold up and do their job and do it efficiently.

Of course there is no distortion on board, if you were to crank the volume you would get a bit of break up but I would hardly call it distortion, cause it's not exactly usable in any sense. This amp is designed for clean and designed to take pedals to accommodate for other sounds than clean.

OVERALL OPINION

Great basic clean amp for quite a few things: gigging, playing at home or recording if you have a versatile board that can accommodate for the different sounds you want. But the amp itself is more like a transparent-ish amp for your style. You can mold it to do what you want depending on the gear you have. By itself it is nothing but a good clean amp, small and reliable. With your board, your guitar and your fingers, you can mold this amp into whatever you want it to sound like. The Blues Jr is sort of like the honda civic of guitar amps. It's base is very normal and typical but it meant to be either modded, changed, added etc etc in order to become something. It's a great platform for somebody to create their own identity through it with the equipment they use.

I wouldn't say it's great for metal, though I have heard some pedals put through that sounded VERY convincing. But for everything else, it's a great staple amp!

- 15 watts
- All tube
- 1x12 speaker
- Fat Switch
- Spring Reverb
- Self biasing
- El84 powered
- Eminence speaker
- Controls for bass, middle, treble, pre and post gain
- Solid State rectifier
- Single Channel


UTILIZATION

Great marks for usability. Small and lightweight, easily carried around. Yet loud enough that I’ve seen them used unmicced for small outdoor gigs. You get pretty much just the features you need at a great price. A full 12 inch speaker, spring reverb, pre and post gain controls, and a full 3 band EQ. The amp is self biasing so you don’t need to worry about taking care of that, all you’ll need are a matched pair of EL84s.
I’ve seen some reliability issues with these; they aren’t as durable as vintage Fenders. But for the most part they hold up pretty well.


SOUNDS

It sounds great! Pretty easy to roll into overdrive at 15 watts. Yet you can still retain a pretty clean signal at reasonable volumes should you want to. It isn’t going to get you a classic Twin or Bassman sound, but is something new, a light bluesey OD as the name suggests. Can get anywhere from glassy to gritty, and the reverb is a nice touch. The Eminence speaker is supposed to be pretty close to a Legend, modified by Fender. The NOS versions come with Italian Jensen speakers.

OVERALL OPINION

The perfect little Fender combo. Probably one of Fenders best innovations in the last few decades. I’ve seen these used in all kinds of applications, they make perfect bedroom/college dorm amps, yet still have enough power on tap for jams and concerts. The best part is, they can be had used for around $300 which is almost a steal considering what it is. I’m not a fan of many current production amps, but they really did a great job with this one, I find myself recommending it regularly.

I bought this amp in 1996 while I venai buy a stratovolcano, I didn 't need to amp but I cracked up!!
In the time I paid € 440 nine, he enjoyed an excellent value for money, that is unfortunately less the case today.
Mine is cotton tweed with a leather handle, it is superbe.15 watts delivered by 2 EL 84 & March 12 AX7 preamp. 1 1 1 master volume treble bass 1 1 medium 1 & 1 switch reverb fat that always leave started (in my opinion).

UTILIZATION

The operation is disconcerting ease in the limited settings. The effectiveness of the 3 tone controls is réduite.Le sound is shaped with the master volume & legain, sounds ranging from light to saturated through the sounds crunchs.Les saturated ring has the AC / DC with a Gibson.

SOUNDS

The sounds are very interesting, very musical, for cons should not be afraid to open generously to the volume that the amp "breathes." As its name suggests the sound produced sounds bluesy.
The sound of this amp is very typical Blues n 'hoped to play other styles settings with a minimum of efficiency.

OVERALL OPINION

I does not use this amp on stage because it is not comprehensive enough for that, but given the price that is normal. If you play blues and this amp will delight you the power of 15 watts is enough for bars & the CIF-CONC.
The quality / price was excellent at the time, now it is too expensive in my avis.Moi I am very happy to have him to enter the horse among friends, he is not heavy and I'm about to get sound, that me has happened to land with this little amp in the arm for a nice little party, at the beginning you look a little sideways and laughing at the end of the evening you are asked or you the you buy.
A tip: connect a 2x12 Marshall cabinet in place of HP original sound takes the scale and you can play does matter where there is always enough power.

15W all-tube amp ... description has already been very well done!

UTILIZATION

So just one little cest almost put the button anyway it is always sound to exploit!

SOUNDS

I make drunk and it's happy! Finally a tube amp with which we little play at home! I tried a blues deluxe and a hot rod! The sound is clear but it is hard you head! Obviously the fan of death metal .... etc. can spend their way! But clear and crunch sounds are really very good!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it 6 months, bought used for 500 euros! One might say that it is not cheap but it really is a quality amp!
I love the crunch and its recess lamp! Some tube amp sounds very transistor! Here the return of attacks is magnificent. Like all Fender amp for that matter!
Something else! The distortion goes well above! I am not an expert in metal and everything but it goes but it's not fai to. By ACDC cons rings!
I am happy to have a tube amp with which I play just as well in a group home! 15W all-tube with the volume and the gain at 5 to 7 I not stay long on the side.
I'll follow the advice of other reviews and maybe put a 2X12 cabinet

All tube amp, (15 watts) surprisingly powerful really punchy. A guitar input and nothing else. Master Volume + Treble / mid / bass, a preamp + function Knob fat (it boosts the sound with great musicality). An HP 12 "found on the 100 w amp brand. This simple architecture and architectural works!

UTILIZATION

Child's play, you plug, you play it sounds. The only limit is the ratio volume / gain, in fact, alone but rather a studio amp, if you play with the drive to the bottom power is enormous and the HP all cash (I have my Rhodes over time to time). In its clear the preamp is less demand, the volume is smaller. In short, this is not a multi-channel amplifier.
I do not see this as a limit in the sense that it sounds better than anything I had (Marshall JCM 800 / JCM 900, Fender Twin Reverb, Fender Princeton, Hughes & Kettner Tubman!)

SOUNDS

It is super versatile depending on the settings, the only limit is the metal. It's a sound that goes from very light (clapton, robert cray), the highly saturated (led zep, cream, black crows), through the wonderful crunch (john lee hooker, keith "hard riff", etc. .. .).
I've mostly studio, he made me sell my twin and my two bodies marshall. It transforms all good guitars guitars, I play with a Epiphone Sheraton type, a Fender U.S. Start Plus, a telecaster us, an SG, everything sounds.

You just have two on stage with a bypass, and then use the pedals to compensate for the lack of highly saturated channel (I put a Guv'nor, a Boss OD or VOX ToneLab + neutral setting of the amp .

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 7 years at the time it was much cheaper, I do not regret it can not. To understand the current price I think it done.
A bonus would be an outlet to attack a second baffle.

The power is sufficient to play in an apartment, and pushing at the end you can play in a small formation at a bar for example.
Connections and settings are very simple and effective .....

UTILIZATION

It leaves a little heat, it's lights! hop and whatever happens is the sound!
The manual is useless, which is not the case the wiring diagram, you never know ....

SOUNDS

For the moment I do not really have style, but mostly blues, with a telecaster that makes him serious! The sound is of the ball! And then some Electro Harmonix pedals and the fact that serious!

OVERALL OPINION

Two days of use and totally conquered, it is a wonder: compact, powerful enough, sound quality, but not given all the same. That said it seems unstoppable, so ....
This is an excellent choice for fun in apartments and the power is there if you want to play with others. It's SUPER!

I will not repeat what has already been said but you were sleeping, we are in the presence of an all-tube amp 15 watt with a 12-hp "eminence adopts a 3-band eq (bass, mid, treble ) have been taken for a button that activates fotswitch Fat and a spring reverb and master volume a knob.
All in a sober housing and who seems very solid!

UTILIZATION

The config is super simple you put on it, it is expected that the heat lamps (yes should not be so presses) and boiler sound arrives hot and delicious at once.
Regarding the manual Well no need, now if you absolutely insist there's a ride on the fender website and you will find the manual in French

SOUNDS

I couple this little monster has my G & l asat classic and the sound comes out and proud, exactly what I was looking for a clicking sound, incisive, very black guy with shades of desire radiohead bloc party etc etc ...
The clear sound is superb in the bridge position sound is very sharp and snapping the neck pickup is going to come a savior and exhilarating round.
As soon as you press the button and Fat as you climb up the volume we get a more crunchy sound, and that you put the volume up and assaying the master gives the famous amp saturation lamps was really superb.
There's really nothing I hate about this amp.
The sound coming out of that clear or saturates is really very handsome, certe typed, but very representative of the brand.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the Blues Junior since early 2006 and the least we can say is that it suits me very well and especially the style of music I play (black desire radiohead bloc party interpol [motto] ... ..).
I use it mainly flat so have to watch the neighbors because it remains very powerful despite everything so by applying a little master and the volume is reached to obtain a very good sound.
There are still two negative points.
Firstly the price it costs about 670 € in France which is relatively expensive for a 15w, it certainly is light but should not exaggerate anyway, the quality is good but I think paying a price of around € 500 would have been better then that's how you tell me ...
The second point is anecdotal but it is the footswitch jack which is stashed behind a wooden plate at the rear of the amp for more precision finally take a look at the official site.
I have not tried many amps, I had a Vox AD15 VT (which is also for sale) and good .... here I will not make you a drawing and then I had the opportunity to try a Hot Rod Deluxe (great Frerot) and there magic but too powerful for my home so I waited a bit to get more money and boiler under !!!!!
I would do well this election and I think obviously I would not change more amps.
Perfection does not exist I put 8 / 10 because of the price and that damn jack footswitch very bad at

It is an amp any lamp (s) "3 * 2 * 12AX7 and EL84 for power 15w (largely hegemonically for home and play in a pub).
It is very simple with only one input, gain, bass, mid, treble and volume over a reverb!
There is also a booster (fat) to entry that can "tweak" the sound, it's short for a little more dynamic.

It is small but sturdy and attention to 15w, it's all lamps with an output of 12 bowl "!
And if for just plugging in a speaker 2 * 12 ", you Aurre a precense sublime.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use.
The sound is clear signed Fender. So there is no problem and when you reverse the gain and volume, you get a crunch / overdrive just thick blues sound good (the name of this amp is right).

If you play with a TV series with the microphone or / /, is the guarantees Foot.
Start with a micro serious is free to comment!

As its use is simple, it sounds live! ideal for all that the sound is clear and simple law.
For the Knopfler, Clapton, SRV, Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, John Mayer, etc., and all others, it's all good!

SOUNDS

The Twin had one that I could use max volume to 1. Now with this amp, the volume (gain) is 2 and 3 show the rest is 5 and my sound is clear idem. It is right and without pb.

Admittedly a little less "acoustic presence" but that's just what I needed ). By connecting a speaker 2 * 12 "or 4 * 12" is identical with the Twin cons of a point of view "presence" (no volume), and there is great.

With an acoustic or electro-acoustic, it goes very well.

I did a test by connecting on 4 * HP 10 'and 2 * 12' in + / - the same impedance ...... result:
- Is even better especially in the crunch with 2 * 12 '.

At first I thought it would interfere with the breath. Can I make a small change to less than 1 euro which explanations are via the following link: ~ http://home.comcast.net./ machrone / bjr / bjreverb.htm ( http://home.comcast.net./ )
In short, since it sounds Reverb 7ender. It is (I think) or more light sensitive in the treble.

OVERALL OPINION

It is top, there's no other word!
Although I am a crazy brand is to talk to Peavy Classic 30, but it was still too strong, good and Excellent but too powerful (and I'm pavilion).

The BluesJunior is just enough with the added ability to push a little to in a pub.
Simple, effective, short it is a choice I would do it again without problem. And even if the modeling hurts sometimes, the lamp still has its charm and this advantage makes the difference.

Again, Fender does not disappoint.

Ps: I have been slightly modified and the reverb does not generate more breath. Here is a link giving complete information about the changes it can bring to this gem.

http://home.comcast.net./ machrone ~ / bluesjunior.htm ( http://home.comcast.net./ )

15 W lamp, good power compared to 30w including a transistor.
HP 12 "that ensures effective communication

UTILIZATION

Not really need a manual.

Fender clean sound very very accurate (I mean many more things than my Laney LC50 tube!)

Crunch possibly a bit limited but good, and a pedal that's all.

SOUNDS

With the right gear, you can still play many styles; 15w tube fender with HP 12 "leaves a lot of opportunities here!

Afterwards, simply adding or multi-effects pedals quality, to expand the whole.

But at minimum, good basic sound, well-defined, well distributed there is any evidence.

OVERALL OPINION

Very wise choice if:
- Choosing a tube amp at reduced power but sufficient
- Not too expensive
- Not too heavy, not too big
- Good quality

Really nothing to do with the multiple at 30 W modeling market. There was good stuff simple, sturdy, which has been proven over the years and great sound!

This is the 15w family hot rod, but like all fender, it sends more than a 15w amp common lamps.

Connectivity too limited: a small loop effect would have been really nice

UTILIZATION

The sound is good right now, we're in big fender, mini version of course. Very intuitive operation with a wide range (fenderienne course). Function thickened fat sound, adding a little extra overdrive. Runs on old ...

So do not expect the switch to have a fat clean sound and its drive, it will use the volume knob on your guitar.

SOUNDS

Good. It is the family hot rod. In theory anyway! The hot rods are a bit caricatured in fender (I think the deluxe), can be closer to the twins, quite enjoyable in crunch. The major difference comes from the power tubes that are EL84 (EL34 close of JCM800) unlike traditional 6L6 brand. Suddenly, the bass is less present. The advantage: a more present and more punchy (a small side jcm 800 I tell you). If you play power trio, your rhythms are less greasy, but suddenly, when you switch to lead the overall mix is ​​not balanced.

Great advantage over the Hot Rod, it does not distort the sound of your guitar. We can get classic Fender sounds, but also to make the world of old marshall (I think the JTM45 Clapton Blues Breakers period).

I forgot: Class A = zero parasite!

OVERALL OPINION

So if you looking for a small fender that does not lock you in the sounds of Stevie Ray Vaughan (like the Hot Rod in my opinion), and allow you to touch other styles (jazz, without blushing! And rock with overdrive upstream) is a killer!

You can do the SRV, but with a gibson, you can approach sounds BB King for example. The amp is versatile enough to provide clear audio on types "Hellecasters.

Also note that, like all Fender basses are well warmed by the preamp. This means that in overdrive, with a guitar with a level of output result, rhythm and solos in the bass will sound a little porridge. Short, clear sound even with a distortion pedal, you can not get a big popping sound clean. Well yes: it's the Blues Junior!

It is the only fender that have convinced me 100% (small flaws are not so serious) unless they come out the same in version 30 or 50W. A MUST!

Really very Hot Rod!
15 watts terrible.
Really good stuff.

UTILIZATION

Nothing to add to previous opinions.
Easy to use. Master can be a bit sensitive, but it's just as well!

SOUNDS

I use it in the apartment for several days and it is true that it's just limited to two masters (the minimum) and volume 5, it is already starting to ring. Admittedly, this is my 3rd receiver, not to mention the DA5 (running it very well with the Blues Jr.).
A Marshall JCM 2000 DSL401 and a Vox ad60VT. Very nice this year, but sometimes a little synthetic and lacking in presence.
The Blues Jr provides its really wonderful that both clean crunch, and inevitably with a Strato is luxury. Impressive sound and pure ... and presence!
I put 9 for the slight lack of bass.

OVERALL OPINION

A bit pricey, certainly
But I can confirm, nothing beats a tube sound ^ ^

For the moment I do not intend to change to new amp

15 watt tube amp. No masses of connections: 1 input, 1 footswitch jack for the "fat", a jack for the speaker that makes it possible to connect another speaker if necessary. The footswitch jack is fand the amp is a bit boring. An effects loop would have been nice ... The reverb is nice, it can seem disproportionate (huge), but a Danelectro reverb with a big inside, it starts 50 years back!

UTILIZATION

Not need the manual, it's an amp plug'play!
The sound is good now. This amp deserves still to push to really enjoy themselves. It sends a 15-watt! beware! in the apartment, it is certainly too big already! in rehearsal, the volume is more than enough!
He deserves a good scratch. I have a guitar with P90 in microphone is a real joy over ...

SOUNDS

It suits me perfectly, and I am surprised at the sound of my reverend (P90 micro) with my pedal turborat. I have a great rock distortion, and when you see the size of the amp, it's hard to believe that it comes from him!
I just bought a Danelectro baritone, granted it, and I'm having fun with on this amp. Nothing to say, his sound is suitable for many guitars! A Rhodes, it works very well also in ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had over 2 years. Ultra strong, not too expensive, no picnic backpacks, sufficient volume in rehearsal and in concert. I would change it. In concert, I put before me, so return. I have my well now, and it does not interfere with the face or other musicians. It's perfect! Too bad he has not done a walk like the twin.

Amp lamp 15 watts (enough to live with an attenuator (30 € if you do it DIY) it happens at home)
a inpout
3-band equa
a boost (activated by footswitch)
spring reverb based op amp (transistor if you prefer)
is in fact fairly basic but adequate mono channel is not an obstacle I would explain
why.

UTILIZATION

It's a simple amp, but it's still a lot of sounds arranged by adjusting the settings, the basic sound is very good, when the manual, it is useful to recall that the stresses due to lamps.

for fans, the schema is provided ... but it is also easily available on the net.

SOUNDS

I use a telecaster, the sound is very clear, there is the beautiful clear fender well balanced across the spectrum.
the equa can carve a really nice sound, it may be a lack chouille low.
HP without being monstrous is absolutely correct, good distribution, not at all aggressive.

Finally I said earlier that the single channel was not because this amp rédibitoire cash very well the effects pedals, all the effects I have sent him chimed in, even the effects of modulation which requires a rather loop, so for both channels, or make you get a distortion pedal.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months I think the sell because the sound does not suit me, too sharp, but it is a very personal choice.

I tried to be silent about the 15 watt amp from 0 to 1000 € in the VC15 dual Stateman:

cf: minutes of my tests ( https://forums.audiofanzine.com/index%2Cidtopic%2C275042%2Cidpost%2C%2Chighlight%2Cthurston.html )

attention both for the price 480 € 680 € in thotho in mag ... who said the problem ...?

In any case, at 480 € it's a great amp I think, in fact quite rational

Nothing to add

UTILIZATION

Simple, sound immediately

SOUNDS

Already he sounded very much like that! By visiting different forums, some change the original HP for a Jensen C12N, what I did! I thought I had a small improvement, but hardly noticeable! WELL NO! I took a slap. What sound! HOOOOooo! I am delighted. With my Start, clear sound and overdrive beautiful, good and beautiful bass, treble very beautiful song. With my Les Paul, the feet! With TS9, Fuzz, distortion, ecstasy. Surely not to the metal, but I do not know, I am not a connoisseur of this style, and I have not tried. So I recommend to all who have this little amp to change HP, 98 euros. The volume has merits, the master of at least 2.5, the overdrive is terrible with a Les Paul, without pedals. Clarification, with the HP, there is a better projection, and it sounds much louder! I will change the amp for lamps JJ Telsa when it will be out of order, and I will review if I notice a real difference!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 10 months and one month with the HP Jensen C12N. This amp, power quality / price ratio is a killer! The sound of SRV, Hendrix, ACDC, Paul Personne, ZZ Top etc. ... I had a lot of amps, I also tried a lot (100-W, 50, 40, 60 of 5, lamps, transistors, modeling), it gives me the best compromise despite its defects: no effects loop, no socket for an additional HP, only one channel (but with a guitar pedal or volume, it solves the problem that is not one!) It is on that be compared to an amp with 2 or 3000 euros ... Although the price is not always justified. The blues jr potential competitor might be (not tried) the Blackheart Honsome deville! But all this is a matter of taste, try it. If you have the opportunity to try the limited version of tweed, the HP C12N is mounted directly.
