Trusted musician and artist reviews for Fender Blues Junior III 15W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp
Based on 25 Reviews
Packs Great Tones and Power!
Great amp value for your money. These things are good stock, but can be hotrodded and customized in a many number of ways - which is something I really dig about them.
That’s awesome! Same here - have a buddy who modded out one of his that I’ve tried and is nice but stock out of the box is great!
Awesome all around
This is the perfect size! The clean tones are spectacular, and it can get really dirty. I love the master/drive volume knobs; I can crank it and get some sweet tube distortion while still keeping things at a reasonable volume!
amazing sounding amp
first amp I toured with, amazing tone. loud if you need it, quiet when you need it as well. Great sound when overdriven as well. My only complaint (which isn't really a complaint) is the top controls as opposed to my preferred front facing controls.
Tone King
Perfect amp tones, runs pedals extremely well, responds to over drive and distortion perfectly.
Great Travel Size Amp!
I truly enjoy using this amp for practice at home and use in the studio when I take it with me. Great sound, fullness, and good EQ for any setting Plus it's easy to travel with. Would definitely recommend to any and all Blues guitarists, or guitarists who need something to take with them in a flash
Favourite small amp!
Great "Fendery" cleans and really easy to get great overdrive tones as well
home amp
great tone not too loud great sound at around volume 3 for home use great cleans from this but lacks a lot of dirt but it is an amp for blues
Great amp!
Best valve amp you can get for small gigs or just practising.
My Modded Blues Junior
I have played many of these amps, they do have a certain British tone to them. I preferred to modify mine with 6V6 tubes, a 12AT7 driver tube, and low gain 12AX7 in the #1 position. Also, I changed out the 12" speaker to a 10" and an 8" speaker on the baffle, to allow more clarity in the notes. With these mods, the amp sounds closer to a mini Super Reverb, and has just enough power for small gigs.
yeah, EL84s, even in fixed bias? unfender! prior to this amp there was just the short lived EL84 blonde tremoluxes that mostly melted down... for some reason the oddball marshalls with 6V63s sound british, but the blues jr is way un-American stock
