Fender Blues Junior IV 1x12 15W Valve Combo - Secondhand

Full Description

Real valve tone

The Fender Blues Junior IV is packing 12AX7 and EL84 power amp valves within its small chassis. This creates an authentic valve warmth and organic response, along with a diverse harmonic breakup when cranked. The Blues Junior has a preamp gain control to add 12AX7 tube saturation to your sound, so you can find exactly the tone you need. It also includes a FAT switch which boosts the mids and gives a fuller sound that is ideal for playing solos that cut through the mix.

The Blues Junior IV has a modified preamp circuit then that of its predecessors. It now has a much fuller frequency response with greater detail and clarity. The reverb circuit has also been modified to ensure that, no matter how high you turn up the reverb effect, your tone will never lose its top-end sparkle. The new vintage styling lends the Blue Junior IV a boutique feel and provides a classy presence that will look at home on any stage.

Small size, maximum sound

The Blues Junior's small dimensions make it the ideal grab-and-go amplifier for rehearsals, small gigs, and jam sessions. 15 watts of valve tone means the Blues Junior can create real power amp saturation at sensible volume levels, giving it increased usability for recording musicians. Also included is a handy 3-band EQ for tonal sculpting, and a FAT mid-boost circuit. This is a no-nonsense single channel amplifier has a simple but effective control layout, and is ideal for guitarists who like to plug in and get great tone with minimal fuss.

The 12'' Celestion A-Type speaker provides a well-balanced output with smooth, articulate highs, even mids, and a full lower-end. Its 12'' size provides a full-bodied response and projection making the Blues Junior IV the ideal amp for small gigs, recording sessions, and rehearsals.

A versatile vintage design

Featuring an updated design, classy touches such as the ivory pointer knobs, steel-reinforced strap handle, lightly-aged grill cloth, and an improved control panel texture and graphics give the amp a more 'boutique' look with a refined and classic aesthetic.
