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.
