Looking forward to it. This'll be my third amp in like 6 months. Had a Crate Vintage Club 20, and I loved it (will probably get another one). Sold it, because I needed money. But damn, was pretty and sounded pretty (the one in my profile pic - it was classy). Then I got a Peavey "The Classic." It was older than dirt and looked it, but it was a fun little amp (well, it was a fun little 60 pound amp). Had no distortion though and blown speakers, so it had to go. And now we move on to the Blues Jr.! I'm hoping to be absolutely blown away, but we'll see. I don't have any experience with them, but if it's anything like the Hot Rod Deluxe, I'll like it. It's the black tolex, not the cream, which sucks.
So wish me luck! I'll post my opinions whenever it comes (hopefully tomorrow, maybe Wed. though).
Some interesting trivia for the 3 people that care: This amp was used to record many songs on Left Alone's new(ish) CD that came out last year. Elvis uses Marshall JCMs exclusively on stage, but uses small amps like this to record with. I think the CD has sold about 15,000 copies by now, which isn't too bad (certainly not Rancid numbers - but not terrible either for a little outfit from LA). Regardless, I got a good price from Elvis, and he isn't gonna be recording for another 18 months or so.
