Amazing

I originally was introduced to this amp by a former teacher of mine who used another Fender Amp. I hadn't tested the Blues Jr. but trusted his word well enough that it was definitely amazing.

Take my word for it and the Youtube videos attached to this page; this amp is worth it!

The only con about the amp for me is that it does not have an output jack which doesn't allow me to use headphones or go out to a stereo setup from the amps.

Fender Blues Junior III

Very tasty, lots of clean, expansive headroom, Fender oomph, compact with a large face. Would I buy another? Absolutely, small or miked large, it projects what you play...just enough reverb at any setting. Clear and clean, juiced nicely with slight overdrive/boost pedal when desired. It is all it is advertised to be, I figger the other small footprints have to have a lower price point somewhat, or you WILL buy a Blues Junior III......Sweetwater delivers with good service followup, ease of purchase and shipping, and reasonable pricing and availability....

An Outstanding Amp

I just love this amp. I moved up to "tubes" from solid state and man what a difference; from the other part of the house my wife even noticed that it sounded better. I researched this quite a bit, even for me, and decided that this was the best possible choice. I was looking at Marshall and Vox as well, and the Jr III won out. The biggest factor was the Master volume control. I will play primarily in the spare bedroom and to get the break-up that I am looking for the Volume has to be nearly maxed out. The Master keeps the windows in the house and I can play at a reasonable level. This baby sounds great with my Les Paul and my Strat. Plenty of power, simple controls, sounds exceptional, works well with various pedals, what more could I possibly want.

Quality 15W Amp

I did a lot of research on 5 and 15 watt amps before landing on the Blues Jr. III. I use it solely for indoor practice and recording and I think it fits the bill quite nicely for the price. Great tube sound that you just can't replicate digitally and the simplicity is nice. I play clean/blues/rock primarily and but it can reach a good AC/DC sound at the highest gain (don't expect heavy metal sounds without a pedal). I've heard of tubes being damaged during shipping but mine seems to have survived the trip just fine.

Blues Jr. Amp

I am loving this amp. I would have rated it a 5 if it had a foot switch included so you could switch between the fat channel (in and out).

Warm Tube Tone for a Great Price

Bell-like, warm, sparkling, thick: these are all adjectives that accurately describe this amp's tone. Of course, the Blues Junior is also affordable, tube-driven, and portable, which makes it very attractive indeed. When searching for an amp, my main considerations were that it be a tube-driven, low wattage amp with a minimum number of knobs, a 12" speaker, and voiced to be more clean than dirty (fuzz boxes are my main source of dirt). The Blues Junior fits that description perfectly, but the extras make it even sweeter: spring reverb and an extension speaker jack. But, this amp isn't perfect. Playing through my Tele with a humbucker in the neck, I get some buzzy vibration on the bass notes. It turns out that the source of the vibration is the plastic shafts that the knobs attach to. As Billm states on his site, "[t]he Blues Junior and Pro Junior have plastic-shaft potentiometers that are soldered to the board, but do not attach to the face plate with a nut." But, as with all assembly line products, some tweaking is to be expected.

The Standard

In short, this is a great amp. I gig with mine, it goes anywhere. It lacks that shimmering clean sound of the Fender Twin Reverb, but it makes a great rock and blues amp. It's also capable of very loud levels.

And kudos to Sweetwater for incredible customer service. The amp arrived and it had no reverb, which I quickly diagnosed as a broken RCA plug on the cable to the tank. One phone call had a new amp at my door in two days with a Fedex return slip for the original. that's why I love Sweetwater!

Back in the mid 60's

Back in the mid 60's I owned a Fender Super reverb amp
The tube tone from this amp along with the spring reverb was incredible.
I have been researching tube amps, looking to bring back the sweet memories of my super reverb and came across the Blues Jr3.
This tube amp, although only 15 watts driving a single 12" speaker has comparable tone and punch reminishing my old Super reverb.
Without the back breaking weight and the very attractive price you should consider this amp.
After owning one I can see why this amp is considered to be one of the BEST selling amps on the market today
