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

Ultimate amp to handle any tones.

The Super Reverb is a great combination of enough power for any stage, with 4 10" speakers to give clarity of notes and picking. It can handle virtually any pedal at it's input, and has enough tone variation to dial in most tones.
