Fender Blues Junior Amp Customer Review
Feature:
As other people have said, would have been nice to have a foot switch for the "fat" mode. But, other than that, clean, simple, easy.
Quality:
Very well made, as all Fender products are!! I will only use it for home use, but it seems very solid, and certainly capable of being taken out on the road. And, how could you ever really have a beef with these guys?? If you ever do have a problem, they take care of it! (The first Mexican Strat I got had a neck issue, and they replaced the whole guitar - not just the neck)
Value:
A little bit high for a "15 watt amp" - but, hey - it sounds fantastic, and you get what you pay for!!
Desirability:
The look is somewhat "retro", and although that is nice in itself, I really got it for the sound. That's the beauty of this amp!
Sound:
This gives me the warm, smooth overdrive/distortion I was never able to get out of a solid state amp (traded my Fender FM-212R for it!!) I immediately (with a little tweeking) was able to get these great sounds the first night I used it (I messed with my 212 for months!).
I found the volume at 10-11, master to 2, lower/medium settings on bass and treble (3 or 4), and guitar (American Strat) volume rolled down a bit, gave me exactly what I was looking for! It sounds great by itself, or with any pedals I tried with it. Perfect for what I will use it for (home recording) NOTE: I've read a few reviews about "unhappiness" over the reverb - ? - I don't get it!! The reverb sounds great to me (not turned up a bunch)!
Ease of Use:
As I said above, able to get the sound I wanted very quickly. Don't need the manual, very easy to use.
Support:
As I said above, they handled the problem immediately.
Overall:
I will keep this amp forever, my search is over!! If it ever "dies", I would get another in a minute!! I found a great little product, that is easy to use, does everything I want, and sounds amazing - what else could I want??

"BUY THIS AMP. MOD IT OUT. THE BEST LITTLE AMP YOU'LL OWN."
Feature:
the master vs clean volume is amazing. you can really get a great clean tone, or just crank the volume and add the fat switch for that great natural overdrive. the reverb needs help.
Quality:
i've had mine for 7 years, and worked it pretty hard. i haven't needed to change a tube in all that time. i HAVE HAD PROBLEMS with the pot shafts. pretty poorly built. you'll wanna get them changed. but other than that, its stood up well to what i've done to it.
Value:
for $400! are you kidding!?!?! YES!!! AMAZING value. and if you invest another $40-$80 in upgrades/mods, you've basically found yourself a miniature Twin Reverb for $400! great value!
Desirability:
i've always loved the look of the fender amps. especially this series. i'm huge on the look/vibe of all my equipment. i know it might sound lame, but people love looking at a great stage set up, with good looking gear. whenever i go see shows, i'm always checking out their gear first thing.
Sound:
I love pushing the 15 watts through the 12". you can get a true, warm, gritty overdrive without a bunch of fake-sounding effects. once those tubes get saturated, all good. BUT the reverb is weak, and gets pretty tin-like when cranked. i recommend getting if modified with the inexpensive mods you can get off the web. mine has a reverb, bass, and mid tone mod, and this little amp sounds like a classic twin reverb.
Ease of Use:
its hard to make this amp sound bad. i sometimes play with just this amp, and can easily find a great, thick, mid-ranged tone. and sometimes i combo it with my Vox AC-30. i use the great high/low end of the Vox, and crank up only the mids of the Jr. WOW!!!! the most complete tone, and volume, i've ever jammed.
Support:
its easy to find someone to help you with repairs if you can't do it yourself. THE MODS ARE MORE THAN WORTH IT! very inexpensive, and do wonders for the tone/reverb.
Overall:
its a great amp for recording. its a pretty good amp for gigging, (as long as you can mic it). modified, its my favorite amp ever! played as a combo with another, different amp, incredible.
its an amp i've enjoyed for years.
