Purchased used in March 2005 for $230. This is a made in USA model with manufacturing year 2002. I wanted a full feature, 12", tube combo for portability.

The BJ is full featured concerning controls with individual master & gain, 3 band eq, reverb, and a FAT switch. The speaker connection uses a standard 1/4" plug so you can run a different cabinet from the amp section. The FAT selector is foot-switchable. The FAT effect is not dramatic but I find it useful at low volume. I do not use the footswitch because I only use the FAT at low volume.
The Eminance speaker is average at best but in line with this price point.
November 2005 I replaced the speaker with Jensen P12N alnico & replaced the full tube set with JJs. Total cost installed $175. Total amp cost $405. |

My style of playing is 80% blues rythym/lead & 20% 70s folk-rock.
Part-1: Prior to the speaker/tube upgrade this amp met all of my expectations. The cleans are not pristine but I wasnnullt looking for that. The bluesy tones are easy to dial in with the gain & eq. For the rock lead tones I add a Boss SD-1 with great effect. As volume increase the speaker loses tone and becomes raspy.
Part-2: With the speaker/tube upgrade this amp is awsome. The sound is full, rich and powerful at all volume levels. The harder your string attach the crunchier it gets. |

The Fender Blues Junior is a tube amp, 15 watts and can get pritty loud. It has a Reverb, an EQ, Gain, and Volume. It only takes one guitar at a time. |

The Fender Blues Junior, for its size has [b]great[/b] sound. It is better that any other amp of its size. the only effect that it has is a reverb however the reverb works great. you can over drive it like most tube amps. |

The Fender Blues Junior is not quite loud enough for a big consert but it could play for a group of at least 100. I have never had it adjusted, it has never had a problem. All in all i think that if you miked it you could play almost any gig. |
