Hey,
a few weeks ago I bought here in Germany in a local music store a Fender Blues Junior Lacquered Tweed and I have a big issue with the amp.
The problem is when I use pedals (especially distortion- and fuzz-pedals, overdrive is ok) with it (for example the Big Muff or the Red from Walrus Audio, but I also tried different overdrive/distortion pedals), the sound is horrible. Thin, harsh, way too much treble and kind of boxy.
The more gain I add on the Fender, the "better" the sound.
For example:
Master 3-4, Volume 3 –> Big Muff/Red -> harsh, thin, boxy, no bass, way too much treble
Master 2.5, Volume 6 –> Big Muff/Red –> little bit better, but still not good
Master 2-2.5, Volume 11/12 –> Big Muff/Red –> little bit better, but still you don't wanna play with a sound like this.
Sometimes it sounds like the Fender can't handle the big muff for example, the E- and A-string are "flubby" over the Fender, like it's fluttering.
So maybe you could help me, why it is like this?
I've heard many guitarists, who played with there pedals into a totally clean amp and I loved the sounds. But with the Blues Junior, it's really bad. And I thought, the Fender would be a nice pedal platform.
Thanks guys for your help.
