Killer Fender Clean, and Super Simple Layout
Two knobs and super pedal friendly. Classic fender clean sound. Low wattage and ability to be cranked without killing your ears.

Takes anything I throw at it.
I got this amp used at a local shop, and was not disappointed! It takes pedals very well, even heavy drive, although the clean headroom goes out the window past 3-4 in the volume dial. It has a very clean, attractively minimalist look, with only two knobs and nothing but the silver grill and "Fender" logo on the front. I recently started using a Boss GE-7 to scoop the mids which helps clean up some of the signature growl at higher volumes. This allows me to play sparkling cleans much louder without breaking up the gain ceiling. It plays just about anything I want it to, and is very portable.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I keep the tone at 3 no matter what. It's articulate without blowing my eardrums off with harsh picking sound. The volume stays below 4 if I'm playing in my home, but this amp can get very loud if necessary, especially if you feel like pushing it with some noisy pedals.

Big fight in a little dog
These things scream and while they are definitely a one-trick pony, it’s a pretty good trick.

Perfect amp.
Used many expensive amps, and I still prefer this one. Takes pedals well, sounds great (especially when cranked all the way up), small and easy to transport, and simple because of the two knobs.

Classic fender tone
Great for gigging and studio work. Guitar-guru Charlie Powers modded mine so it runs just as hot as it should for a class A amp.

In the article of Vintage Guitar (link below), there is said that Jeff Beck was using a couple of Fender Pro Juniors on the concert featured in the DVD "Rock ‘N’ Roll Party, Honoring Les Paul".
http://www.vintageguitar.com/9486/jeff-beck/
Beck continues to use Marshalls, specifically a JCM2000 that supposedly shares very little circuitry with retail models and that he boosts with a Klon Centaur. The man has also enjoyed a flirtation employing a pair of dimed Fender Pro Jr. amps, and let's not forget his trusty Magnatone models.
Before I started using the Alessandro, it was a Fender Pro Junior. I would even set it at my feet like a monitor. That way I can get feedback if I need it, and it feels more like a live performance.
