Fender Pro Junior
Published on 08/14/01 at 15:00When I decided to buy my first electric guitar I did some research. I knew I wanted
a tube amp. I also am into Fender Strat playing blues guitarists. After a bit of
searching I found that the Pro Junior would be a good entry tube amp.
I bought my Fender Pro Junior when I bought my Fender Tex-Mex Strat in Mesa,
Az at a store called Millano's Music. I paid $200 for my floor model Pro Junior.
Good tone consider its size. It can get plenty loud enough to jam with my friends
in the garage. I have used it at a couple of talent shows and been plenty loud
enough.

my Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus I can get a great stereo sound with them.
Nothing. It does what I need in an amp.
The construction appears to be pretty solid. I have travelled with the amp and it
has taken some regular travel abuse. The 'tan' colored covering picks up the dirt
pretty easily.
For the money this is a great tube amp. If you need to get louder, then buy a
second one and run it through your chorus pedal setup or get a 2x12 cabinet
and hook it up to the amp.

OVERALL OPINION
Great sound neutral to receive high-end distortion. 15w but still too powerful in the apartment. it is quite possible to play with a drummer with this combo. The only drawback? the lack of reverb for those who bought my aiment.le least 40% was a real case. I will not change as a bad cat 5W or handicraft.See less00 - moosersPublished on 09/16/09 at 09:06The 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.
