<p style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-right: 8pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">BJ is a small 15 watt amp with 2 x EL84 power and 3 x 12AX7 pre-amp in (not 4). Reverb (Accutronics) and the rectifier circuit are transistors. On mine all the lights are SOVETK, sorted by Groove Tube for Fender. All logos appearing on the lamps themselves, they are all still original.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: "><span style="font-family: &amp;quot; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: FR; mso-fareast-language: FR; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">The HP 12&#39;&#39;is made ​​by eminence in the USA for fender. The amp itself is made ​​in Mexico</span></span>

UTILIZATION

<p style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-right: 8pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The settings are simple, there is the adjustment of reverb, master, mid, bass, treble and volume (pre-amp). FAT button adds midrange serious but does not "crunch" the amp.</span></span></span>

<p style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-right: 8pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The connectic is very simple, there is only one instrument input, a connection to a switch not included (at least in 2006) that can trigger the AFL and a speaker output into 8 ohms. No effects loop or output for <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span> HP, nothing, that slab.</span></span></span>

<p style="margin-top: 8pt; margin-right: 8pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Configuration is very simple, the manual is completely useless, I do not even know or is it my amp. We just plug in the guitar and go.</span></span></span>

SOUNDS

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">This amp is made ​​as virtually all Fender for blues, funk, country music is not seeking another heavy saturation. If the style of music played ranges from funk, r&#39;n&#39;b to rock very good big Poppa Chubby bold style, this amp is perfect. Fan of heavy metal, this amp is not for you, even if it supports rather well the pedals <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span> saturation.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">I play both Fender and Gibson in both cases, this amp sounds great, a slight saturation occurs only from 5 / 6. The higher the volume will be enhanced, the saturation will increase to approach a very fat and thick overdrive.</span>

OVERALL OPINION

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">BJ is a good amp for playing at home, I do not think this is a problem with group play.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">This amp does not court the street version of occasions it is quite rare. When I bought it in 2006 was not available in the U.S., I&#39;ve found in Europe and especially France.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Now the negative side of the amp is its finish. So far it is rather barrel and sunburst draws the eye, is near the same thing, the finish is simply disgusting, or made ​​or done. The varnish is marked as if the amp had was packed without the varnish is dry, the box was painted while the woods were apparently not dry, the wood continues to play and the varnish is cracked, the dovetails used in the assembly of the boards appear under the nail.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">These large defects finishes plus the fact that this amp does not have a good HP makes an amp in a very poor value for money knowing that in 2006 it cost 806 euros!</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Knowing that the normal bj is a little over 500 euros, the difference is huge for a nail missed.</span>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">BJ is a good amp in sunburst is a bad deal.</span>
