I have only used OD type pedals with my Blues Junior. I have never tried any more aggressive distortion pedals with it. Have any of you tried any? If so what was the result? Any reccomendations? Typically in the past with Blackface Fenders I have found that distortion pedals were a big no-no...yuck!!!

Re: Blues Junior and OD/Distortion pedals question
OD's with blackface fenders sound outstanding! a Deluxe, Vibrolux, or Pro Reverb drives great with a TS9 up front-just a liquidy smooth lead tone.2004 50th Anniversary Deluxe American Strat, SETH-N BRIDGE, ANT 2 SURFER MIDDLE, ANT 2 DLX MINI HUM NECK

This I know very well, but heavy distotion type pedals sound bad to me!!!I get weak in the knees at the sight of a vintage Fender amp!

Re: Blues Junior and OD/Distortion pedals question
The BSIAB II sounds great in Most Fender amps. I never used it in a Blues Jr. But my Champ 12 is very close to the Jr. in size and output. . The Pedal is very aggressive (Think cranked Marshall) It's avilable atgeneral guitar gadgets As a homebrew or already together. Check out the sound clips on the page.
