The beauty of the Pro Jr is in it's simplicity. I bought a used Pro Jr for home use about 3 years ago and wanted something that just sounds great and gives me the dynamics to want to keep playing. Heads up- I plays between 2-3 on the amp volume and use my controls on my guitar to keep the volume at a reasonable level. (it's Loud).
The Pro Junior will piss off the neighbors. Don’t be fooled by the 15 wattage. Starts to hurt my ears at around 3-4 on the volume. But, Crank the amps volume and use a Tube Screamer style pedal and use the pedal volume on low. Huge cranked tube sound without the loud volume!
The speaker in the pro Junior is a P10r; the same as the ‘59 bassman, (which of course has four.) So I think the fellow on the right misspoke. I have two of these amps. Great for blues, and classic rock; also great pedal platform.
Played a Pro Jr. today with a MIM strat (with the most perfect neck ive ever played, have to say) and instantly fell in love. Have never played a smaller combo that could get such a creamy but still torn-up and touch sensitive sound. It was under $900, but unfortunately I'm not in the market for it right now. Whoever gets it will be a very happy player.
Had pro Junior for years not sure what else ya need takes pedals sounds great clean and dirty with volume - only other amp On my wish list is the tone king gremlin
Have a 90's Blues Jr. with Bill M mods and a Celestion Greenback. A keeper. Had a Pro Jr. "Woody", now owned by Blues artist Carolyn Wonderland. Great with pedals.
These amps sound awesome. But I’ve watched a lot of these videos and it seems impossible to play anything other than blues licks with them? Sometimes I play a note outside the pentatonic scale and I wonder if these amps can do that. Thanks!
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Mordechai Boone I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I’m lucky enough to own both. They both cut through the mix really well. Ultimately it should come down to what you play. The BJ has more tonal options, but I find myself lugging the PJ around much more often - weight being a great benefit! I think the BJ is a great option for modern blues & rock sounds, and the PJ brings classic chimey goodness.
The Pro Jr 4 gain is not that different. They just use a different pot with a more audio taper so your at full volume at 8 rather than 4/ 5 and it give more overdrive from there.
Guys, you need to slow down that backlight, its way too hot and is blowing out the edging you want to give. AT LEAST flag it off of Rick, when he is in profile he looks overlit and its just bad lighting there.
Just be fucking honest we know it matters to you that the amps sound good but your first and foremost priority is "How can we change the amps but maintain even lower costs and higher profit?" If you said that I would definitely applaud.
Don’t you love how the guy that works for fender for a living doing a review doesn’t even know what hes saying about the amp. Typical music industry guy.
