The Blues Jr. pushed through a 12" Jensen speaker.

The Blues Jr. NOS takes Fender's 15W gem and gives it the true vintage treatment with lacquered tweed covering and a vintage-style 12" Jensen speaker. Its power is generated by an all-tube signal path using a pair of EL84 Groove Tube output tubes and 3 - 12AX7 preamp tubes. Add renowned Fender reverb, flexible controls, and FAT circuit with footswitch for golden tones, and you're in business. And just look at that chrome panel, that lacquer tweed finish with pinstripe grille cloth, and those vintage pointer knobs . . .

Exellent Amplifier

I have owned this amplifier for many years and continue to be impressed by it's performance and tone. I play Rockin Blues, Blues and Classic Rock, and find the tone second to none!!! In my family of amplifiers I have the Junior, Deluxe Reverb and Super Reverb...I rate the Junior first the Super second and the Deluxe third. The tone that I get from the Junior cannot be duplicated by the others. It like it with both my Strat and Les Paul. I use a TS9 and MXR Delay...Great Texas tones!!! You won't go wrong with this amplifier!!!

Great Tones

I have several amps, from a Gibson 5amp to a Marshall half stack. I usually gig through a 40 watt Marshall or Fender tube amp. Pushing the Marshall DSL401 to distortion would be really loud, so, I run a pedal board through either one. 40 watts is too much for some of our smaller gigs. The other day, I cranked up this Fender tweed blues jr. Wow. I forgot how great it sounded. I got great lead tones with natural distortion. I may have to take this to the next gig and forget the pedal board. Great little amp.

Much better than the tolex!

I have owned a tolex bj for two years, playing a am deluxe ash strat through it. I bought a tweed with the jensen upgrade, and felt the difference between the two was worthy of writing a review. In terms of the product itself, the other reviews seems pretty accurate to me. However, if you're deciding between this one and a tolex, get to a store and A/B it, the internet videos don't do the difference justice. I love the way this one sounds.

Warm, Beautiful Tone--Excellent Volume Setup

I've had this for about two weeks, played a couple of gigs with it and recorded a demo using it. I'm usually plugged into a much higher wattage 59 Bassman Reissue. I am both surprised and delighted by how much headroom this little guy has, and by how, with simple switching of volume knobs, you can get some great distortion as well. It really packs a lot of punch--I've not suffered any loss of volume or attack at small gigs.

So far the Sovtek tube complement has suited me very well, and the 12" Jensen sounds just fabulous. My experience with the reverb is that it's quite decent, but I don't use it much--I have a tube-driven effects box that's very high-end for that. This is a BANGIN' amp!

Where's the Reverb????

I play small clubs, private parties, etc. and when miked this is the perfect amp for me. The tone is super and works well with my strat and tele. But if you want reverb, you'll have to set up in a stairwell. I usually set my reverb to 1 or 1.5, but on this amp "12" only gives you the slightest hint of reverb. Other than that this amp is well worth the money and I'm vey satisfied with everything else.
