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.

Feature:
A footswitch can be used to switch on the Fat mode, which might be useful I suppose, but it's easy to just switch it directly on the amp wo I have never bothered with this. Perhaps the reverb should be foot-switchable too?

Quality:
Well constructed and finished.

Value:
Excellent tone for little expense.

Desirability:
It's not particularly sexy, but it's good.

Sound:
This amp has a classic Fender tone. Sounds great clean and overdriven. In fact I was surprised how great this amp sounds when it is overdriven. There is something particularly sweet about a Strat with a Fender amp and this amp continues the tradition. My Les Paul with 57 PAF pickups also sounds so very tasty. With the gain turned up full and the fat switch in this can play a heavy rock tone if you want, but it will not be suitable for a metalhead. The sound is trebly and quite cutting, but this is not a bad thing to me. The tube overtones are just delightful and its lack of deep bass response when overdriven aids in making yourself heard over the mix. I agree with the other comments here that the reverb is not so great - but its not awful either. Just keep it low.

Ease of Use:
It's very easy to use having only one channel and with the usual basic controls

Support:
No experience.

Overall:
It makes you want to buy another Fender amp!

Feature:
Master volume - most excellent. Kinda thin sounding, but the Fast switch makes a huge difference.

Quality:
Here's where I have problems. I've read lots of player reviews and they're mostly written by bedroom players. I've gigged this amp 30 times in three months. The plastic pot shafts are wobbly and will be a problem. The tubes come loose. So my impression is - the amp is on the delicate side. I LOVE THE PORTABILITY, THOUGH!!

Value:
I NEED THIS AMP - it is way portable!! I've needed an amp like this for eons.

Desirability:
Looks good!!

Sound:
Love it. Low watt amp that you can push. Might change the speaker to get more clean headroom.

Ease of Use:
I'm always finding new sounds.

Support:
Haven't needed support, that's what the interweb is for!

Overall:
9.

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??

Feature:
Pretty naked, but who needs more (put a Boss ME 33 between Guitar and Amp)

Quality:
Let's wait and see...

Value:
Yes

Desirability:
Needed a small Amp. Would prefer the Twin - but it's too big to carry to 90 gigs a year. When I need a blasting Tube Amp I take my Mesa. Blues Junior is Twin sound that is easy to carry.

Sound:
Typical Fender Tube sound. With a strat you're in heaven.

Support:
No Problems getting my Ultimat Chorus fixed after several years. Warranty works.

Overall:
Sounds like a keeper.

Feature:
Not a lot of bells and whistles here but if you are loking for a tube amp sound, this puppy will get the job done. The FAT switch add a little crunch to the sound but could be a little tighter.

Quality:
Made with the usual Fender quality. I have had this amp for 5 years now. Played both harp and guitar thru it and have NEVER had a problem. It is a tube amp so you will get a little hum during quiet times. That comes with the territory!

Value:
If this little baby was stolen I would replace it in a heartbeat!

Desirability:
Looking for tube sound at a very reasonable price? This is the way to go!

Sound:
The Blues Junior is a screamin' little tube amp. You would think at 15 watts the sound would be mediocre at best.

Ease of Use:
Volume and Master volume give the Blues jr. a lot of volume. Good for small clubs.

Support:
Unknown as I've never had to call or use tech support.

Overall:
The only reason I would ever think of replacing this amp with another would be if I planned to consistently play in a large venue.

This small amp is strong enough for most small-gig purposes if your drummer can maintain some self-control. The reverb is designed for a small incremental effect and for that it's just fine. The el-84 power amp tubes give it something between my genuine 1959 Fender Vobrolux's tone and that of a Vox Ac-30-- and both can be more closely obtained by tweaking volume, fat switch, tone controls. Distinctively different sounds with a Tele and a Les Paul indicate it's sensitive to the guitar tone.

I've been playing through this amp for over a year, and will probably buy a second one soon in order to enjoy the stereo effects I have available to me. I could spend a lot more money on an amp and run it at a lot lower volume, but I can push these tubes a little harder and enjoy the warmth they have in some of the smaller places I play.

Feature:
Is small little amp that weighs nextto nothing and the tone is great, what features do you want? Buy add ons if you want them.

Sound:
Great tone out of a little box! If you want to make it louder you can mike it to your board and PA system and it has a great sounds that way too!

Ease of Use:
Great little amp for practicing and wife doesn't yell at me when I want to get the right sounds (i.e., house doesn't rattle and hum)

Support:
Havn't had to use their support yet.

Overall:
For the value its the best little amp out there.
