Blues Junior Overdriven Tones are AWESOME

[Juanhanglo]

I had a '98 or '99 (version 2?) as my first tube amp.

Is was the same as above. Boxy, no bass, etc.

I made a larger solid cherry cabinet for it, making it bigger than a deluxe. It still sounded boxy and small.

it was eventually given away to a friend of mine.

My laney lionheart is a big step up IMO.

Blues Jrs and the Hot Rod series are the standards for backlines for lots of festival shows. I don't know that they sound horrible, but they wouldn't be my choices. Even reissue Deluxes and Twins would be better, though more expensive, choices.

I got stuck using that stuff too many times. One festival even had a pair of Blooze Jrs for guitar backline. No thanks...Now I bring a Twin Reverb or a VT40 for festivals/outdoor shows.
