I recently purchased one of the Blues Jr but this one is different because it was made exclusively for one music store and its called the, Fender Blues Junior IV FSR 1x12" 15-watt Tube Combo Amp - Western Tolex. It is also one of the only Blues Jr that has the, 1x12 Eminence Cannabis Rex Speaker in it. I was able to incorporate some of the ways you dialed in your knobs and wow it really helped me to achieve the tones I been trying to get. Having the expertise knowledge like you do along with showing us some of the ways to dial in our Blues Jr amps have really opened up some amazing tones from the series Blues Jr that I have, Thank you for sharing you really did wonders for me and my amp. Great video and your an awesome guitarist.. Again i would like to thank you.

Already at volume 3 and master 12 it’s too damn loud. So, I got a Warmdrive and use it to get a decent preamp overdrive sound at volume level 2.

nice 👍 I normally put the amp in another room and close the door!
@gabrielepettinato52772 ай бұрын
I think a basic rule while playing a blues junior, escpeially tweed, is to scoop the mids (like at 2). It really opens up and sounds less boxy. At least for me

To’ work the amp in its sweet spot you’ve got to crank both the pre- and the power amp to 12, switch off the fat-switch and turn down the mids to 2-3 maximum and work the rest with your guitar volume/tone knobs. And yes, it’s insanely loud, like all fender amps.

Hi John, I have just discovered your channel and am amazed at the range of information that you cover. I have almost viewed everyone of your videos in a single day. I am hoping you can share some gems on the problem I have in finding a good blues setting on my guitar & amp. I am in my mid 70's and want to play a bit of blues to satisfy myself. I like a nice smooth creamy tone for blues (Always difficult to describe) with a bit bite when played hard. I have a 1980's MIJ Strat and a 2017 Strat American Pro. My amp is a fully loaded Lazy J J10 amp with spring reverb. Any suggestions on what I should do to get a good tone?
@crossroadbluessecrets3 ай бұрын
Hi 👋 so sorry I didn’t know your name! But thanks so much for watching! that’s very kind. You must be sick of me by now, I would be! You have a lovely amp, I also like a creamy tone, you know I must say I find those type of tones easy to get through modlers and plug -ins but quite hard to recreate in the real world through an amp. Is there anyone you like that has the tone you like? That way you can see what gear they are using. For a creamy sound the Wampler gearbox pedal is lovely. Those tones are sometimes using two distortion pedals stacked.
@deltablues81413 ай бұрын
Hi John, thank you for your reply to my post. Apology I should have added my name which is Gerry. I should also have added that I have a G2D Cream-Tone pedal, along with a 1980’ original Ibanez SD9 which I never use. I like clean smooth tones with a bit of grit when picked hard. Robert Cray type tones as well as your tone at 8.22 mins
