Fender’s Blues Jr. is a great little tube amp that’s very popular among blues guitar players (Warren Haynes uses one in the studio from what I’ve read.)<\/p>\n

It sounds great right out of the box, and there are also many popular and fairly easy (and some not so easy) modifications to improve the tone even more.<\/p>\n

There used to be a great little website with a database of Blues Jr Settings, but it seems to have gone offline so I uploaded my copy of the PDF file from that site and you can download these Blues Jr Settings<\/a> any time you want \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Now admittedly I don’t like to run my Blues Jr. wide open on the Master the way the document recommends. I tend to run it in the middle and adjust as needed.<\/p>\n

You have to use your ears as most amps have a sweet spot where volume and tone kind of meet. As you turn up the master, you probably will notice the sound gets fuller, but at some point it won’t anymore and that’s probably where you’ll want to stop.<\/p>\n

Next\u00a0to my Nace Amps<\/a>, my Blues Jr. gets the most use around the house and has a great tone.<\/p>\n

Here’s an older video I did about that particular amp with some pedals I was using at the time. I have virtually these exact same pedals on my floor as we speak\u00a0(and apologies for not having shoes on… I was just hanging out at home and didn’t even think about it.)<\/p>\n
