The Perfect 15-watt Tube Amplifier
A couple of years back, I had purchased a used, USA-made, first-generation Blues Junior (1997).
It was a good amp, but at the time, I was not using it much. I did, however, find that I was missing the tone that only a valve amplifier can produce. And so when I saw a 2019 Limited Edition pop up on Facebook, I watched and waited.
Eventually, the seller dropped the price to $325 and I jumped on the deal.
One of the major selling points for me was the fact that Fender used a Jensen C12N instead of their usual "Fender Designed" speaker. I'm not bashing the FD speakers; they are excellent, but the Jensen pushes anything into what I think is sonic perfection.
It has a spring reverb tank, which will always beat an FX pedal. Always.
Finally, the tweed covering is the icing on the Fender cake.
I know that some folks complain that these amps are "boxy" sounding, but, to my hearing, I cannot say that this is true. This little guy sounds amazing.
If you have been considering a tube (valve) amplifier, I would recommend this one every time.
