The Blues Jr. pushed through a 12" Jensen speaker.
The Blues Jr. NOS takes Fender's 15W gem and gives it the true vintage treatment with lacquered tweed covering and a vintage-style 12" Jensen speaker. It's power is generated by an all-tube signal path using a pair of EL84 Groove Tube output tubes and 3 - 12AX7 preamp tubes. Add renowned Fender reverb, flexible controls, and FAT circuit with footswitch for golden tones, and you're in business. And just look at that chrome panel, that lacquer tweed finish with pinstripe grille cloth, and those vintage pointer knobs . . .

Little Giant
I've been playing guitar, mostly rock and blues, for about 50 years. I now play a Gibson Les Paul double cutaway pro with Burstbucker pro pickups. I have a Marshall MG50DFX amp...50 watts with a single 12" Eminence speaker...and it rocks pretty well. I was impressed until I tried out this little 15 watt Blues Jr. NOS. I tried out the regular Blues Jr. and this one side by side. I thought the NOS was beefier and better overall tone. Naturally, I baught it, took it home and tried it out next to the Marshall. At 5 on the volume, it blew the Marshall away full up. Plenty of overdrive. To me, you don't want so much distortion that your guitar sounds too muddy. This has excellent crunch and great harmonics. The Blues Jr. NOS holds a chord or note for MUCH longer than the Marshall did also. Light weight, great looks and killer sound. Buy this amp. Well worth the money. Anyone need a 50 watt Marshall out there?

Old School Sound
The best sounding amp out there for the money! When I was growing up my Dad had one of these back in th early 60's and played an early 60's Gibson SG through it. I rememeber as a young boy watching my Dad play and hearing that clean Fender/Gibson sound. To this day that sound still rings true. I finally bought this baby and it reminds me so much of my Dad playing his Old Blues Jr. again. Don't waste your money on those fancy digital amps you will never get this clean tube sound. Don't let the 15 watts or small size fool you either, this baby like my Dad's is very loud and will blow your sox off! My Dad who is now in his 70's recommends Gibson or Fender guitars and Fender tube amps nothing even comes close! Get this amp you will never regret it! Fender tube amps all the way!

TONE!
The Blues Jr is a TONE beast! It weighs in at about 30 pounds, and is compact which lends it perfectly to rehearsals, indoor gigs, and recording. It is clean as a whistle until about 6 on the master and then breaks up beautifully with a deep sweet tube distortion. I was looking for something that was easy to lug around to indoor gigs and rehearsals, or jams, and I found so much more! what an amp! there are alot of great mods out there for this sweet little thing as well. go buy one, you will not ever regret it!!!

Incredible!!!
This is the best amp I've ever owned! I previously had a GDEC, but I sold it because I was getting better and the GDEC is a very quiet amp, and could not play over a drum set. You also can't get the kind of pure sound From the GDEC that more experienced musicians want. Note I've also owned a Marshall JCM. So I sold the GDEC and used the money to buy this amp. I tried it at the store and it sounded great, but they didn't have any new ones there so special ordered one from another store. I had to wait for a week, but it was definitly worth it. I tore it out of the box and pluged it in right when I got it home. I was very impressed at the level of volume it had. The amplifer itself is 15 watts, but the special disign Jensen speaker is 50 watts. That gives you an idea of how loud this thing is. I was also impressed with the tone. The work of the pair of EL-84 power amp tubes and the three Sovtek preamp tubes comes out to give you incredible tone and crunch.
Now keep in mind that this amp doesn't have a drive channel, so you can't get a lot drive, but it does have a FAT switch (Increases preamp gain) and a volume knob (which I would call the gain knob). Don't make any second thought's about buying this amp. I have yet to find something I dislike about it :).

Vintage Tone, Look, For A Bargain!
The Blues Junior series is one of the best bang-for-buck tube amps currently available! As a gigging musician and sound engineer, I've grown weary of large amps that are heavy to carry and too loud to to really use effectively in most club settings. I borrowed a friend's Blues Junior for a few gigs while my lead guitarist borrowed my Peavey Classic 30 (for which I get a LOT of compliments on it's tone), and I loved it so much I didn't give it back! The two EL-84 tubes produce 15 screaming watts that are WAY louder than you'd expect. I play a telecaster into it and crank it up to where it's just starting to break up nicely. I've never played a club where it wasn't loud enough yet. The footswitchable "Fat" switch thickens my tone up nicely when I need an extra boost. The three band EQ lets me dial in just the right tone, and the reverb and master volume let me get big sounds even at apartment volume levels. On top of all that, this amp is an easy carry with just one hand! I finally bought one of my own and opted for the gorgeous tweed N.O.S. version with the Jensen speaker. It's got more of a '50's Fender sound than the stock version, and I just love the look! I let my lead guitarist use it for a gig and he loved it even more than my Classic 30!
For any level of guitarist, hobbyist through pro, this is a killer amp and at this price, it's a must-have item for your gear collection!
