C 4 dynamite!!

For a small, single 12" speaker, this lil tube amp has an amazing dirty sound, or clear guitar pick-up sound and really dials in my Strat! They even look great together with that retro-tweed!
Music background: Picking her up n puttin her down for over 30 yrs ! Try to keep er in my hands....

Great Small Gig Amp and TONS of TONE!

I just purchased this amp for an outdoor gig with a full band and where two other guitarists on stage were using VibroLux 40w amps (one vintage, one reissue)and this thing was able to hold its own! Granted the other amps were not fully dialed in volume-wise, but the Blues Junior cut through the band mix like a light saber through a wampa's arm.

With a Strat this thing is super "chimey" and quacky as you'd like to get.
With an LP (P90 in the neck, Filter-Tron in the bridge), I am able to get an array of tones that ranged from thick and full to hot and searing.

The amp takes pedals really well.

I get what people say about the "boxy" sound that it has but I feel its the amp's signature and should be embraced. Definitely not a bad thing when you need to cut through a band mix but if you're a bedroom rocker or want it for home practicing, then maybe you'd want a different sound.

Vintage sound, Vintage looks!

Exactly what I wanted and expected from Fender and Sweetwater. I love the tones and the looks of this little amp, just what I need and wanted. It arrived packed securely in a Fender box. Unlike all of my other Sweetwater deliveries this delivery took about a week thru Fed Ex, not sure why. The Blues Jr. Is a great match for my Esquire and my Teles.
Music background: Play guitar and drums. Have dabbled in banjo and mandolin.

Great amplifier

Fender created a real beauty here, the sound ,look,& quality of this amp is superb.
It is a very loud 15 watts ,and the tone with a Telecaster, Stratocaster ,or Les Paul is pure
glassy tube honey. The reverb is typical Fender sweet ,and set clean it takes OverDrive ,and all pedals well.
Try one ,& you'll buy it.

Best Blues amp Pushed

I bought mine in 2012 and have used it as my pushed sound in combination with a SuperSonic22 for mine clean sound (A+B pedal).
Together the two are Heaven on earth for the pushed blues solo sound. I'm not a big fan of pedals, I only use a volume, and occasionally a Zen Drive for the really overdrive, mostly just a small boost of volume when my 7 piece band gets carried away in the moment as we are all guilty of in our career somewhere LOL. I will say that I changed out the speaker to a Tx heat and had The great Jim Foote add the BillM Mod to it. That made the sound even better than before which was great IMO. I primarily use a '68 ES-335 and I '53 Teley with a Les Paul Gold Top for a back up. All three have their own wonder voice with this amp configuration. All the 1 & 2 stars, wires not connected tight, reverb not connected, etc., I have not experienced. It has been a very dependable amp. I have stopped gigging since Covid and have recently just sold off a lot of my stuff, A LOT OF STUFF, lol. But I have kept my Blues Jr. as I figured that is the only one that I couldn't just go out and buy again. I highly recommend this amp! I've been gigging since 1966 and have had a lot of amps over my career, to say the least. Buy this one if you want a great blues sound! After all "Blues" is in it's name!

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them!
