I’m not a vox dude necessarily myself either, but when I finally turned it up I understood.

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

Maybe that's that I need to do. Even the 15 is pretty dang loud.

@trioguitar Месяц назад

I'm fortunate enough to own both (I'm NOT a gear junkie, just happen to have them both). I get the sentiments being expressed in this vid. For home use, the thing I find about the blues junior is that you can get a good sound without blasting the whole household, so that's definitely a winner for me. Overall, it's a pretty good tone that you can enjoy, and you don't have to do too much to it to improve it even more. The Vox is, well, a difficult beast to tame. It's bloody bright, it's bloody loud, and it's easy to get some pretty scratchy tones out of it. Oh, and it's damn heavy! But it does have some pluses: it seems really well built to me, it gives off zero noise, it's got a good reverb, and it overdrives quite easily (just tame that brightness!).

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

Yeah you and are on the same page with all of this. The 20 lbs difference - makes a difference! "bloody bright, it's bloody loud, and it's easy to get some pretty scratchy tones out of it" - I agree!

@justinTime077 Месяц назад

You’re a hilarious dude 😂

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

Thanks! Appreciate your comments!

@Mummenhoff Месяц назад

The best setting for me for playing country= Master volume at 12 and volume at 3 = clean sound - pedals do the rest - It's my best amp ever! loud enough and easy to carry

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

Nice, always looking for settings to try - thank you!

@JimMarshallUK Месяц назад

I’ve been down this road a lot. Marshall Silver Jubilee is what you need man

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

You're probably right. I've never seen one in real life.

@richierick96 13 дней назад

Damn bro 😅 I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum lol. I have both amps but LOVE my AC15, and some days I like my blues Junior, other days I hate it and can't get a good tone out of it. One thing I have learned about the Blues Junior is that it has an enormous amount of mids. If you "scoop" the mids it just cuts out those boxy and honky frequencies while still having a bunch of mids. Interesting video 👍

@marccarter1350 Месяц назад

Man i use to run 2 blues Jr's in Stereo, until one caught fire! Those amps run hot. Use to have the Vox AC 30 as well, just too heavy. I have the Roland JC 40, it's a love or hate.

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

I've watched quite a few amp tech videos on the Blues Jr.... and yeah - there seems to be some design flaws! They do get hot in a hurry!

@BCEpedals Месяц назад

They have serious flaws in their output. It’s not a matter if, but when they catch fire..

@DavidMorisset Месяц назад

Get both and run the. In stereo or wet/dry.

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

There's an idea!

@justinTime077 Месяц назад

😂😂😂 sorry for all the comments I’m leaving, but when you started talking about turning them channel into a troll-dude dating site.. well I subscribed for more. Godspeed!

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

LOL !!! Will be nice to have you around here. Just watch our for the trolls. Some of them are looking for love.

@joelshields8807 Месяц назад

I have an AC30 and I love it, but it's big and heavy and louder than I need 90% of the time. I picked up a Pro Jr. and was surprised how it had more of a Vox quality than I expected - not the same, but the midrange was naturally stronger than is typical for Fenders (even without a mid control - just set the tone at 5). I run an EQ and reverb pedal in front of it and it does pretty much whatever I need. I know Blues Jrs and Pro Jrs both have EL84s (like Voxes), while other Fenders usually have 6L6s so I wonder if that's part of it.

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

Yeah they are often compared. (Those 3 amps). I've almost bought a Pro Jr several times - but they seem to have to run super loud to get any crunch. I wish the Pro Jrs had just one more knob.... Master Volume.

@joelshields8807 Месяц назад

@@QuestForGear I push the high mids even further with my EQ pedal when practicing with the band and that helps it gets a little crunchy without being overwhelmingly loud.

@justinTime077 Месяц назад

Buy an attenuator and suddenly you’ll have the most versatile best sounding amp at bedroom levels you could have dreamed for.

@justinTime077 Месяц назад

Unless you’re rich I hope you’re not really trading in. I mean if you are I’ll pay you 10% more + shipping than whatever the trade-in is every single time.

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

No not rich, just not too bright. I lose for sure. I consider the lost money 'rentals'. It's my thing though - trying all the gear I possibly can. It's cheaper than camping, motorcycles, boating, etc.

@bryanherward4679 Месяц назад

Quilter Aviator Cub....US or UK...you'll never tire of the headroom

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

I looked it up - interesting! I'll play one asap, thanks!

@bryanherward4679 Месяц назад

@@QuestForGear They're great..they can be a bit bright, but I have a Quilter Micropro Mach 2 HD and I love it....all analog, 5 amp models, 3 knob reverb, limiter and tremelo...200 watts...gigged it out a bunch and never had it past 50%. Plan on getting a Cub US for a wet dry rig. it's 19 lbs...at Guitar Center, I pick up tube amps just to remind myself why I switched

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

I never see Quilter stuff in stores in Canada - but I will keep an eye out!

@richardvickery-ub8gk Месяц назад

ive got 2 blues jrs. the big probem with the blues jr is they are biased too hot from factory. my bles jr iii cooked a power tube and burned a trace on the pc board. i got a mod kit from fromel electronics and fixed the Blues Jr III. im gonna mod my Blues Jr IV next. They will both sound better,run cooler and tubes wll last longer. and probrable no more cooking the pc board.

@starshineraiser6729 Месяц назад

I’ve had the AC15, Princeton, Pro Jr and Deluxe Reverb. I only use my Blues Jr IV. It has this snappy tone that I love. I put an Alnico Jensen p12r or whatever and it’s my favorite amp.

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

Nice! I've done much comparing of those (via RU-vid)... and I also prefer the Blues Jr. Is that the Blue speaker? I'll look it up.

@starshineraiser6729 Месяц назад

@@QuestForGear it’s: Jensen P12R it’s a 25 watt alnico speaker. I’ve had the Celestion Blue and I much prefer the Jensen. It’s bright and lively and immediate. When you turn the tone down, it still sounds better than any other speakers I’ve tried. Try turning your mid and bsss knobs to 3-4 and treble on 7. I love that sound but the midrange knob is great at any level on this amp.

@QuestForGear Месяц назад

Will do thanks!

@BCEpedals Месяц назад

Oh my god.. no 💀 blue juniors have serious flaws on their output board.. they will burn. Brother, seriously, you need to get rid of the junior. Yes the tone is different. But please do some research through Psionic audio and Brads Guitar garage about these hunks of garbage (blues jrs) Btw I am in no way bashing you or your channel! But the blues junior is a metaphorical cliff and I’m trying to save you from losing your money.

@JimMarshallUK Месяц назад

The problem with that is assuming all consumers are the same. There are value based, early adopters, pride of ownership, etc. Psonic guy is like Toyota/Lexus fan (reliability), never go to the shop for 250k miles. Reliable purchases are great, if you care. Think of the car world where Super charged BMW M, Mercedes AMG and Audi RS series sell for top dollar, explode internally at 30-50k miles and resell for 1/8 MSRP….but they still sell with a waiting list. I’m in this hobby for fun and losing money is ok. I sell new Gibsons at 50% MSRP after I get bored, all the time. I figure out how to keep the toys flowing and new experiences makes me happy. Out of warranty? Toss it and try something new, you surely enjoyed it for a few yrs. It’s like going to a nice dinner 5x, no biggy
