All user reviews for the Fender Blues Junior

completely original, live out of the box, no mods

UTILIZATION

configuration is ideal, is connected, is adjusted depending on the local, we let a little heat and immediately sends it did not take place in small clubs where one always comes to the wad, so to 20seconds make a balance, not making the sound head is there, the manual is kept in the box, I do not need, I use it as the fender spawned, and I never had any problems .. .. is an amp that has an intuitive approach to the settings, the sound of a harmonica just whoever plays the best amp in the world has never given her to him who did not and acoustic this little fender junior restores all the intentions that I put in my game

SOUNDS

it is entirely appropriate for the delta blues, chicago, blues rock, rhytm'blues, country, jazz ... I play in different formations, different styles, I only use this amp live, repeating, in studio on small and large scenes, the power of its 15watts is truly an asset to obtain a good saturation characteristic sound of harmonica legend, I put less than 5 in mid and treble boosts on the other hand I seriously 8 / 9 because it lacks a bit of origin, the reverb is effective if one does not put too 4 is a max .... when I use the harmonica as a serious ground or a Bb, I change my equalization, I remove the grave and goes up a little in medium otherwise the sound becomes a bit boueue, especially at the end of show when it is heated through, Anyway it responds in real time with a great precision, it is versatile, whatever the microphone used, a single Shure SM 58 for the green light or a bullet to his ditto saturated with Astatic Hohner home or even the whole sheacker range, whatever the microphone he used the features of each return, I add on each of my microphone volume knob a removable allowing me to manage a possible feedback at high power, it also allows me to work on his desired playing with the master and the volume of the amp over my knob to find sounds that my discourses shade ....
He collects fine or any multi effect pedals when the need arises

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years without any problems at 80 dates per year on average over the repeated and studios, it represents a synthesis ideal for me because I lugging large 60-100watt lamps or 40 to transistor too big too heavy too powerful (divorce. ..) small car trunk, a small club, small local repeated, small studio, and grand staircase cons to 6 hours in the morning in the gray morning .... not good for the back (BUT GOOD FOR THE BLUES ....) this amp is the best compromise sound easy, in emergency or with time, its 15 watts for the stuff, its ease of use, its weight and what about its looks real good vintage tweed, his grip leather adds to the ambiance of the plateau on which it is expressed;
all this for 400 € 10 years ago ... thank you FENDER I wait as the HP original releases me to try another of dissent after what other users may be surprising therefore to be checked;
KEEP ON BLOWING ... and LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL ......

Amp all-tube, 15 watts, 1 channel, 'volume' for gain (saturation)
master (master volume), trebble, medium, bass, reverb and key "FAT"
which amplifies the incoming signal to the preamp and gives more 'body' in
sound.

UTILIZATION

config ultra simple since there is only one channel. We chose the sound: clean
or saturated, the settings of the equal.: I like the treble and
grave almost to the bottom and the mids to zero. (The inverse gives a sound
'Cardboard' - cold - .... like all the amps). Key and the 'FAT'
pressed.

The manual is on 2 pages. Too bad it does not provide details on
the absence of standby precaution with a tube amp
(Wait 5 / 6 minutes after turning it off before moving ....).

With the adjustments described above, I get a pretty good sound, with
still good microphones.

SOUNDS

It is perfect for what I play. If an amp worth
amended, it is the latter.
He began a terrible power.
A jack (misplaced) can interface to a speaker 8 ohms.
There are sites for improvements. (I think that apart
very expensive amps - Mesa Boogie kind - others may suffer
minor edits).
A low point would be the HP, but by exchanging 2 capacitors,
the problem is almost solved. This is a question of taste
each judge is.
I play Les Paul (microphones Burstbucker Pro), Telecaster (microphones
Nocaster), Strato (Fender pickups 69), Danelectro DC 59 (microphones
original). The sound is very good and very dynamic

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two weeks is my third amp lamp ..... and my 6 or 7th
amp, just confused.
I tried a ENGL Thunder (clean channel too cold), Laney TT50
(Lack of dynamics (the lamps?)) And the best of the best: a Fender Hot Rod
Deluxe ... but too heavy, too powerful. So I took her little brother.
With the Telecaster, I have a country sound that I could not have
Blackheart BH5 with my or my Laney VC15.
The grain is there. And dynamics brings incredible pleasure
additional.
It is much lighter than the Deluxe, but it is still his
weight.
.... So much hp at your disposal (40 to 300 euros) and
some capacitors to change (from 0.40 to 6 euros) ... and you improve
One of the most used amps.

But I chose a problem that should not be on an amp
this brand especially with the publicity they are, namely:
In connection, I had a background noise. They were the lights
amplification (2 x Sovtek / Groove tubes). I have
replaced by JJ EL84 (matched, of course, the bias is adjusted every
alone, therefore no intervention at this point) ... and much less
noise. the rest came from the background noise preamp 3 lamps,
because once replaced by jjECC83, I had no sound
! Not these terrible Sovtek / GT: (so note -1
In addition, an internal label reminds the references of lamps:
12AX7-A so why they put 12AX7-WC?

1st small downside is the 'dashboard' with all its
Adjustments: First it is unreadable (on reflection mirror surface) then
it is upside down!
In contrast to the best 'dashboard' is the well Blackheart
readable.

2nd small drawback: tour equilibrium to connect to another
hp.Le jack HP Ultra is misplaced.

For these two drawbacks: -1
That's it, I found my amp considering a lot of
factor.
I think the replacement of some condos (filter
power ...) good brand (Orange Drops - T & T ...)
already provide some nice improvements on this ... Sacred FENDER
R dynamics Ouaouuu .... I do not say.

SOUNDS

Perfect for Gig, repeated ... Portable, compact and powerful.

A little too powerful pr home, but if you have an attenuator

The best of the series Hot Rod.

It reacts to tbien tt type of pedal.

I tried

OVERALL OPINION

1000 amp head so ...

This is not my only amp but if I had to pick a NEW in the 500 usd, I would do this choice.

In addition it is upgradeable to perfection.

Mine is MADE IN MEXICO.

The ideal is to find a 2nd hand MADE IN USA - in the 350/400 euros IS NOT BETTER!

Friends of his Fender, goodnight ...
EXCELLENT INVESTMENT

All tube 10-15W.
6.35 1 Jack jack input and a 6.35 for the speaker output.
1 jack for the pedal on / off boost medium (pedal optional).
The amplifier in its simplest device (bass / treble / medium) and a small spring reverb.

UTILIZATION

The shape and configuration that are easy to use and does not need to immerse themselves into a manual (although his grave I have not!). Turning the knob, it tritouille until "sound".

SOUNDS

Purchased an additional Roland JC77 use in home studio, I must say I am not mistaken. The lamp's easy. rather typed blues (his name) or soft rock, it thrives in the preamp DIGITECH for fatter sounds. The heat lamp is there. I found out the character of each guitar. The sound and clear, sensitive. Sufficient power for use in home studio.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased used two years ago, is a good choice.
Simple, practical, it corresponds to what I was looking for.
I have had no problems to date.

OVERALL OPINION

I use for a week so it's not true bcp back, but frankly y'en not really need because it's more than 10 years I play and I had enough amp to assure you that this amp tt case for me and a nugget for absolutely unbeatable value for money ...

This is a tube amp made by Fender, one of the most well-known and loved Fender tube amps in existence. There are reverb, master, middle, bass, treble, "Fat", and volume controls on the amp. There is only one channel. The amp has 15 watts of power. There is a simple 1/4" input. The amp has a 12" speaker.

UTILIZATION

Getting a good sound out of this is pretty easy. It has a similar sound to most Fender amps when in the normal mode. The controls are enough to really tweak the sound a bit, but the amp is basically gonna sound like a Fender amp regardless. The "fat" setting, though, is where the amp gets its name. It definitely fattens the sound up nicely for blues. Between the EQs and the two settings, this amp delivers plenty.

SOUNDS

This amp sounds phenomenal. It's bright and sparkly with just enough low end and middle to round it out. With the "fat" switch depressed, it's a thick, rich tone that still shines on top. I really love the sound of the "fat" setting with a Fender Strat, or even a Les Paul. It's just a rich, meaty sound that recalls the Fender Twin's classic sound, as well as the Champ. It does have it's own distinct qualities though.

OVERALL OPINION

I think the sound of this amp is obviously the best thing about it, it's got such a great tone. It really brings out the sound of the instrument well, and it's crystal clear while still being gritty. The "fat" setting alone sets it apart from the rest. While not distorting it per se, it definitely enhances it to rock it a bit more. I think that this is a reasonably priced amp considering what some of the other Fender Amps tend to go for.

The Fender Blues Junior is a tube based guitar amp that is quite small and packs a lot of punch.  It has a 1/4 inch input and delivers 15 watts of power.  For only a 15 watt amp, this guy can really crank pretty loud.  The setting controls on the amp include volume, reverb, master volume, treble, bass, and middle.  These are pretty basic parameters so if you have any experience with Fender amps at all, you will pretty much know how to use this right off the bat.

UTILIZATION

Using the Fender Blues Junior is just about as easy as using any amp out there.  It has the basic parameters but still allows for a good amount of control over your tone as it has the three EQ knobs as well as reverb.  Getting a good sound is quite easy and I find that if you have the settings set to the default (midway) and the volumes at only two or three, you'll have a pretty good sound.  From there I usually play with the EQ and the reverb to get the sound that I am looking for on that particular day.  I've never seen the manual for the Fender Blues Junior, but one isn't necessary because the amp is easy to use without one.


SOUNDS

The sound quality of the Fender Blues Junior is surprisingly really awesome.  I didn't expect much from this amp because it is so small, but when I plugged in a guitar and a Fender Rhodes, both sounded really awesome, even at low volumes.  While it has the word blues in the name, this is a great tube amp for all types of genres as I have used it for pop and rock as well.  This is a perfect amp for practicing as you can bring it anywhere easily, for live shows, and for recording.  Unless you are playing in large venues, this amp will definitely work for live shows in bars and smaller venues.  It is great that you can have this amp for all sorts of situations, as you never know when it will come in handy.  It has a lot of crunch to the tone and is great for a variety of situations.


OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the Fender Blues Junior for about a year or so and it is probably my favorite amp out there that is 15 watts or less.  I still can't believe how loud this amp can get and I never seem to have it any louder than three or four as it gets too loud.  The price is quite reasonable since it is so small - this is a really good bang for your buck.  If you are looking for a small practice amp that can go above and beyond, the Fender Blues Junior is for you.
