Fender Blues Junior
Anonymous
Published on 04/16/09 at 02:22
All tube 15 watt amp
Small equalo simple but effective 3-band
A reverb, master volume and a cruncher, plus a button "FAT" to highlight all that.
The HP is a 12'Fender / Eminence Special Vintage
The animal is 14 kg

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple: you connect, you dig a little équalo according to his taste, and in 5 minutes you start to get THE sound.
The manual is clear, but useless for my taste.
With the amplifier is provided a detailed plan of electronics, what delight electronics who want to get in a replica

SOUNDS

I tested it with my two main guitars: a Gretsch G5120, and an Ibanez SZ520.
With Ibanez, the record is quite surprising. This guitar is not really what is called a must, but strangely the amp it revealed a sacred character. Clearly, the sound is very slamming, and incredibly warm! When I think of the harm I have read on AF about this guitar pickups! Position serious, it's just a slap! umm, it gives a good mind to push a little while to discover this "infamous" crunch ... And Ben, I'm not disappointed with the trip. Wholesale grosgrain, I feel it swing all alone ... I can do that with my fingers me? oh yeah ben ... truly incredible this little amp.
Okay, well here the past not to squirm, must try with the Gretsch.
The sound is very bad ... no I'm kidding, the record is really good. Clearly, the sound is very warm and the color palette is virtually unlimited when you're having fun digging with various settings of the beautiful. With the microphone acute, the sound is very loud, and makes me want to push the volume a bit to get the crunch ... ohhhhh yeah ... the sound Setzer is not far, not far at all. Big big swing, while responding to perfection, with each stroke of Bigsby I feel like the whole room shakes. The sound is really impressive for an amp of this range, I'm thrilled!

OVERALL OPINION

I received it yesterday and I played with for 4 hours. No need to be more at ease and find the sound.
The only little snag "that I find is that the reverb is a little lacking for my taste. I like the reverbs very unfair, then forget.
Before that, I had a Peavey 5150 which was not bad for the repeated and concerts, but far too powerful for the home studio. And then it was a big big amp more distinctive rock or metal. The Fender Blues Junior finally suits me much better. This is an amp quite open about the different styles of rock and blues. Should not want to play with the trash, it's on, but you can still flirt with the big rock n 'roll genre AC / DC for example.
The amp cost around 600 € in trade, I paid mine € 300 Used. The price / quality ratio is very correct.
This is really the machine that I needed. I had a lot of amp medium and high-end, but never found exactly what I wanted. Maybe it's a bit early to say, but I think I found my happiness.
