Fender Blues Junior NOS

This is a great amp for those needing a small practice amp or those needing an amp that doesn't get to loud either. The tweed look to this amp is a nice touch, not to mention the Jensen speaker which adds a tone of clarity and tone to the amp.

This amp has a rich tone and worthy to be called Fender. Some of Fender's amps need to be tossed in the trash or off a roof of some sort. This amp is a nice price and has a fantastic look.

SOUNDS

The look of this amp is a fantastic throw back to the way the amps looked in the 50's. The only downside to this amp and you would be mistaken if you think that the tone is going to be of the Hot Rod series. I find the hot rod series to be a little bit more of the modded ton where this amp doens't have that tone you would expect when you here the words hot rod.

The tone is alright for this type of amp. The speaker does help round out the tone of a this amp really well. The best use for this amp is a Fender Telecaster. I think the spank of a nice Tele will compliment this amp much more than any other guitar.


OVERALL OPINION

At new these amps come in at around $579. A bit high for this amp. I personally would not buy this amp just because it doesn't have the tone I am looking for in a tube amp.

I would only recommend this amp to someone looking on the used market. For a new one this price is way too high for the amount of amp that you get.

UTILIZATION

Super super simple amp, don't look for blinking lights or lots of knobs, simple and too the point TONE.

SOUNDS

I owned this amp for about 6 months and used it mainly with a strat and les paul copy (stock pups in the strat and Seymour Duncan's in the LP)
I used it mainly with the strat and with the strat this things ROCKED. It was hands down the best practice amp for anything clean I've ever played, its beautiful and the Jensen speaker really helps with the things that I personally think plagued the original versions (boxy and too middy). with the "gain' high it does a great Joe Walsh or Eagles impression and with the gain lower and set super clean with the neck pup of my strat and some delay it did U2 in spades. I used to set it with the gain at about noon and would run a boost (like a TS9) and it would do great for small worship gigs and for studio stuff.

for anything heavy you'll pretty much never get that and don't expect it to, I wouldn't think you'd buy it for heavniess, but for cleans you'll never lose, its one of my favorite amps for that kind of sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, I really love this amp, and if you want SRV, Joe Walsh, Layla era Clapton or U2 sounds you can't go wrong, but its a one trick pony, albeit a very good trick, just don't expect anything other than cleans and very low gain out of it. If you go in knowing that I'd say buy it now and don't look back.

lamp, 15w, jensen 12 ", 1 hall, master volume bass mid treble, boost, reverb.

UTILIZATION

very easy to use amp, it gives little chance of his work. just a good sound is corrected slightly or is saturated through the lamps.

SOUNDS

amp passes through the entire Anglo-Saxon music from 54 to 80, and of course jazz.

the sound is not fat nor crystalline rather "right". This is a buzz with the TV, he did not mind as soon as you play.
Frequencies put forward by Jensen and lamps are out of the mix playing weaker than other fender without lamps.

OVERALL OPINION

2 months of use
I also use a Rivera home studio.
Junior is perfect for blues scene rehearsals.
good investment for a basic amp.
For a similar price range, I recommend more than a peavey classic 30 (I owned and on which I made mods base-hp lamps)

Difficult to talk about sound not to mention all The elements surrounding the BJ, lintrieur (hp, transformer, lamps) and lextrieur (guitar, microphones, effects) to arrive IN his all as read trs. If you like T Richards sends Honky Tonk Woman in a Tweed Twin, if you are looking for simple hardware with lments cohrents and complmentaires, trs of good quality without (too) breaking the bank, and if you are looking for a vintage sound even when with a little versatility and Versatile here is my cocktail:
