The Blues Jr. seems to be quite a popular amp and some of us TFF users do own them. I am pretty content with mine, it has become my main gigging and jamming amp, as it's lightweight, portable and sounds pretty good with my strats and my Rickenbacker.
Well, I read a few threads here about it and noticed that a few of you actually like it too...
Can you share your impressions? Did you mod yours? Do you have a particular hack to make it sound like you want it to?
Rickenjangle and Frankjohnson (you mentioned that it's one of the amps you've worked the most as a sound man), your input will be particularly appreciated! Of course, negative reviews are also welcome, everyone feel free to say what you've experienced with this amp.
Just one thing: I am aware of the fact that it has a pcb, not being a point to point built amp, that it has a bad rep for "farting" at higher volumes or sounding "boxy", that the tubes sometimes burn the board... Most of these problems seem to have been dealt with in the modern ones (III and IV), but yeah the Blues Jr ain't a classic tweed amp.
My point here is more to discuss how to dial in cool settings and how each one uses the amp, rather than its features and construction flaws.
I bought this little thing a couple of months ago and just can't stop playing with it. The way I use it, it suits me MUCH better than the Hot Rod Deluxe I used to own and the Blues Deluxe Reissues I've used in studios.
