Re: Blues Junior?
It does jazz perfectly on its own. It's very pedal friendly too. One of my favorite clean sounds out of an amp under $1000.

Re: Blues Junior?
I really like the tones from it when shopping for an amp... I ended up with the Hot Rod Deluxe, though... I needed just a little more power to raise the volume of clean headroom...
I really like the Hot Rod series... they seem to be well built for the money... I have been slowly doing mods/replacing cheaper components along the way... It may not actually sound better, but I have put work into it, so I'd like to believe the changes I hear aren't my imagination... LOL!
Seriously though, the first thing I did was replace the volume pot... It is linear instead of audio taper, and I needed the ability for better adjustments....
Great amps though!!!

Re: Blues Junior?
I've had one for years and I can't think of an amp that has more bang for the buck. Good clean and O.D. tone , will do about just about anything with the proper O.D./Distortion unit in front of it.........Joe

as long as you dont need lots of headroom, it's the ticket for a great little amp/

Also look into the Carvin Vintage 16. I've heard good things about that

Re: Blues Junior?
Shameless plug. I have a Blues Jr. in pristine condition for sale. I can even upgrade it to a V30 if that's what you want, I've got one laying around. Great amp, just not what I need right now...I need other stuff worse.
Pm me if your interested.

If you think you'll need more volume, I'd take a Traynor YCV 40 over a Hotrod. The cleans are just as good (not quite as warm as the Blues Jr though) and the overdrive is better than either Fender.

Re: Blues Junior?
I picked up a Blues Junior about a year ago and did the Billm mods on it.
I can show up at a gig with my Blues Jr. and a guitar and be set for the night. Throw in a Bad Monkey or a Tube Screamer and a Wah and there aren't any bases I can't cover.
