15 watt all tube blues beast!

12 inch speaker with typical fender black vinyl cab and silver grill cloth.

Fat switch and reverb.

Sound: [9]
My fender tele with texas special pickups sounds awesome through this amp.

After about 18 months I sawpped the tubes out for some GT JJ tubes - I couldn't be happier with the sound. I was wondering if it was cos the old ones we just old and served their purpose but a friend bought a new blues junior and we compared and mine blew his away. He's now bought some GG JJ tubes too.

Worried about 15watts? I can tell you this mutha is LOUD! I know someone who bought this for a practice amp and can't get it past 3 without the neighbors having a fit.

I sometimes use my Gretsch Anniversary through this and it sounds just amazing.

Reliability & Durability: [9]
No problems at all. I've dropped it twice too. OK, not from very high but it can take a bit of a beating.

It's a bit scuffed now but I use this amp every single day.

Overall Rating: [8]
This amp is really made for blues (you'd never know by the name eh?) - it'll also kick it for classic rock. If you don't like that stuff then maybe you are looking at the wrong amp.
