Danish Dudes playing really makes me SMILE.. so smooth and soulful. Captain hitting some beautiful notes too!

[@Iberstine191145]

Pete's playing at the end of the pro junior demo was to die for. And I love this pro junior the most.

[@Les537]

Sold me on that pro jr, boys. Even though you tried hard not to :D

Pete's monster riff at 28:00 is just jaw-dropping. It's a cliche, but he's forgotten more than I'll ever know as it relates to playing guitar.

[@davidsharp9805]

Pro Junior is an inspiring amp. Finally Pete started to play music! Love it and bought one.

[@Mr_Bollie]

Just got a Pro Junior IV as a little practise/travel amp and despite usually playing bigger amps (Morgan RCA35), this little thing has something magical. At bedroom volume, using my Fender Mex Strat, I feel immediately inspired and can't stop playing. Add a nice overdrive to it and you're golden. So far, I only liked 10" speakers with bass amps, but in this little amp, the Jensen is very responsive and makes you play very percussive. That's pure fun. I'm using OCD, ElecLady and Strymon Lex and El Capistan with it.

[@willanderson571]

I'm a simple man. I see a video with Fender in the title and Pete in the thumbnail, I click

[@guitrr]

Will Anderson Amen to that.

[@Robstafarian]

The Blues Junior uses EL84s, not 6V6s.

[@ronnyrono782]

Surprised my son with a fender tele and a Hot Rod Deluxe. I was amazed at how the Deluxe screamed at a super low volume. He especially loved the amp

[@manbeast713]

Pro junior sounds amazing with that Les Paul!! Not to mention Pete’s wonderful playing!!

[@morrisonmcqueen1364]

Beauty is in the ears of the beholder isn't it? I was hearing a little can of angry bees in overdrive, but sweet when clean... Probably nice in person though

[@larrys009]

2023 checking in..... Lee and Pete still crushing it!! Cheers Gents From South Carolina

[@yarbgreat1]

One of the things I love about this channel is how much variation there is in personalities. One day I'm watching Chapman, next day Pete. It keeps things fresh yet familiar.

[@davidholdsacamera]

The blues junior is still sporting an el84 btw guys :)

[@FlesHBoX]

My god Pete is a great player. Even if I have no interest in the subject of the video, I always love listening to Pete play.

[@silentnomore5979]

Watched this at 4am after 2 hours sleep....the best video you have done for a long time......

[@avivkestin7103]

lol same

[@707king]

Pete stroking the guitar and it being blurred out seriously made my day. Absolutely hilarious. Great video guys. Cheers from California.

[@mlwilliam213]

It’s funny how they seem the least impressed with the Pro Jr, but clearly Pete is the most inspired while playing it. And it has the most character.

[@jameshunt8373]

Love how the captain doesn't care for the PJ yet we all do and Pete absolutely turns into a machine whilst playing it 😆

[@christopherkahn6522]

Great playing, Lee. Outrageous sounds coming out of mid-range Fender tube amps!

[@paultwiselton1996]

Another stonking, informative and downright amusing vid. Cheers chaps.

[@duncanwestbrook5092]

That Deville sounds absolutely heavenly!!

[@benlogan430]

Just got a Pro Junior III new the other day! It’s the sweetest! Small, lite and loud enough for gigs! Just add reverb and it would be perfect for me. As is it’s almost perfect! Sounded just the way I like with the Lester Paul!

[@donhall-aquitania1025]

Wow! Pete and the Pro Junior was the best part of this video. I’m buying one.

[@neilsthepoet]

You guys are nuts and part of the reason I started playin ....🎶🎸👍🌿😏

[@moelester6479]

Pete's heavenly playing nearly puts me to sleep every time. Love it

[@javiermp81]

That Pro Junior is an awesome blues box. Plug in a Les Paul with a Tube Screamer and you’ve got yourself a pretty decent and inexpensive approximation of Joe Bonamassa’s sound from his tour with all Fender Tweeds.

[@gunnerman5435]

Pro jr wins on this video. The one you guys liked the least but Pete made it sound so good with the Les Paul.

[@jamesperry6572]

What a joy to listen to. Lovely sound

[@pements155]

That pro junior is amazing.

[@sugarlife485]

boxy and tiny sounding

[@boykeschaafsma1117]

When Pete was playing it? Nah

[@hhattingh]

Pete should do an episode with his favorite licks and phrases. The dude has some serious chops

[@plectrum14]

The Pro Junior is best run as a pedal platform in my opinion, run at about 5 on the volume. Also, replacing the 12ax7 with a 12ay7 makes for a sweeter, less angry sounding amp. It's a modern classic in my opinion and always thought it sounded better than the Blues Junior. Used by many pros in the studio. Always love getting a Deville as a backline amp! Great video guys!

[@Ryan_F.]

That lick at 11:56 so sooooo nice! Love the playing and the amps sound amazing. Wish I had a space where I could be loud and use one of these!

[@Ryan_F.]

Commented before I heard the Blues Jr. Holy shit, I want one of those :P

[@sambarillas1062]

Pete here just became my new favourite guitar player. That 28:00 minute mark shred, then that gorgeous serenade at 30:40, and ofc that orgasmic send off chord at 31:35. Is this what love feels like? xD

[@TUBEMAN192]

That Pro Junior tho... Daymn!

[@paulwintermute1495]

Tuomas Raatikainen Pete went into another zone on the Pro Jr. It was incredible!

[@Whodidthis12345]

I’ve had one for almost a decade now and have always been wondering why it doesn’t get more love... totally underrated amp- esp if you mod it and run it thru a 2x12

[@TUBEMAN192]

I was thinking about getting two of them and a split Marshall 4x12 and run them stereo. I bet a rig like that would KILL!

[@pements155]

The pro junior is fantastic. It might be my fav.

[@estebannieves8830]

Great like always! Honestly, at gigs where the amp is mic’d, I don’t see how you can beat the Blues Jr at the size and price range.

[@scottanderson4175]

Pete is an amazing addition to your videos thank you !

[@gerryloughran1676]

WoW ...Pete rocks the house on the Les Paul - the Blues Jnr well cool - thanks

[@adihadzavdic2644]

28:00 to 29:00 was insane

[@57ebartley]

I have used a Blues Jr tweed NOS for gigging for a couple years now. Super simple. Put a sm57 in front of it to get louder. Very pedal friendly. Sounds better on the floor. Picks up more bass frequencys on the floor.

[@alexnosheds]

Pete doesn’t even break a sweat on that LP in the Pro. Such a joy to watch.

[@1willywonker]

tried a blues junior and blues deluxe other day there all very nice amps thanks guys very enjoyable

[@nathanmontover1436]

I don't buy anything until I see one of your reviews. All of these amps are on my short list! Looking forward to what I'm about to see. Thanks a ton \m/

[@ENDLESRAPS]

27:40 Oh Lord Pete, Amazing Playing!

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

The exit jam was terrific!

[@bluesthing7490]

Loved The Outro !!! Pete was great & the Captain also.

[@Mikkeyboyy]

really like these vids there very helpful and enjoyable great stuff

[@evanparker]

I had to look up "Man's not hot" but i was so delighted when I did! Thanks Captain!

[@MrThomasojhammar]

Great playing, both of you👌

[@joelcrow]

That purple tele is so pretty...

[@bigfootingermany]

When Danish Pete was on the LP and the little Fender Pro and started really tearing it up, I'm like "Who the hell is this, and what have they done with Pete"????

[@victor2510]

Pete rocking that Les Paul, awesome!! :0

[@molejaboy]

Love seeing all these different guitars. I want a Gretsch so bad.

[@mauiman52]

You guys are awesome and made me smile more than once during the video. WRT the BJ IV, the Fender website says that the power amp has 2 x EL84's in it, not 6V6? Did I miss anything?

[@bernardoestrela6029]

i've been waiting for this. so glad is the captain and pete.

[@terryorr]

The Pro Junior IV makes you work a bit more than bigger amps but when you find that sweet spot it rewards you with more harmonic complexity. I use a TC MojoMojo overdrive and a touch of reverb and the amp morphs into a little monster. Small amps do their magic at reasonable volume which is more fun than trying to use a bigger amp that never reach output tube saturation in most real world situations. My big amps are getting a lot less play at home now that I have the Pro Junior IV.

[@kamilbelzTV]

I went to guitar center today and Pro Jr just amazed me with tone compared to Blues Jr. even without reverb Pro is just better for my ear. Guys - always try your gear first. 🔥

[@enriquedelima396]

I wish I had Pete's skills and knowledge. Such a versatile player.

[@khaledalhamwi3139]

one of the best Pets jams I've ever seen ! definitely that made me a buier now

[@tonypetrillo3488]

For years i gigged with my old Fender Super Reverb... 4-10's, and it was a killer amp. And it was also a back killer amp. I moved over to a Tweed Blues Junior, and for most club gigs it's the perfect amp. Any larger, and it gets a mic. Perfect with pedals... I love my Tweed Blues Junior... (Of course I am 4 years too late for the video...hahahaha)

[@christopherpetrich9518]

Picked up the Pro Junior IV last year. A/B'd it with my Tweed Blues Jr III and sold the Blues Jr. The PJ is a tone machine. I've jammed with it and gigged with it mic'd up and sounded great.

[@TheRemizinho]

That small tweed sounds awesome recorded, love it!

[@nowornever2504]

Wow Lee’s playing has gotten so much better, like night and day....I have owned both the HR and Deville about 20 yrs ago. It has very nice baseman like clean tones and decent very slight overdrive sound. Med/high gain sound is hideous. Never personally owned the BJ, but it sounds great and portable. A great little amp.

[@autocrow]

I think the Blues Jr sounds the best in this demo. I tried one in the store against other amps including the deluxe and liked it the best there as well. Thick warm and tasty! I love the fat button. Unless you want to get REALLY loud like "knock you down, and you have to stand 50 yards away loud, it's plenty. I think people (I used to) believe a bigger amp is always better. Just turn down the volume right? Amps sound better turned up. If it's too loud turned up and you have it on 1, It won't sound it's best. I played in a band with a little 40W SS Mustang 2 with the volume at 2-3 and it was plenty loud for our little band. We played in front of as many as 60-70 people and had 5 guitar players. I could have used the Pro Jr. and had more than enough. You could mic into the PA if you wanted louder as well. People make it sound as if you need a huge amp to gig. BTW, The Blues Junior uses EL84s, not 6V6s.

[@studryden6997]

FYI guys, great vid as always, but for those folks considering a Hot Rod Deluxe it is night and day better with the Fender extension cab that matches it. It changes it drastically from more mid sounding to more bass and much better all around full sound. Give it a shot before you look at mods etc and maybe even do a vid on extension cabs. Keep up the good work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 btw I have the Gen 2 deluxe and have been using it with the cab for about 10 years with a deluxe reverb limited (sweeeeet amp)

[@BandaPatroes]

Great tones with the Les Paul and the Pro Jr. at 28:00 😄👏🏻👏🏻😉

[@pauldigga5419]

Brady Carroll one of the gayest things ive heard. Well done.

[@isaacjohnson.]

I actually really liked the sound of the Pro Jr. that angry sound is great!

[@simonrider6864]

Just watch from around 26min when Pete just totally rips it. Captains face is hilarious. Love it.

[@cirjames2540]

The Pro Junior has soul!

[@JimJamDaMan]

I really want a pro junior to use in stereo with my other amp. Maybe even get an extension cab for it

[@JasonCone]

Very nice! (I wanted to hear the tele into these, though!)

[@Wrguitar941]

Jason Cone yes i own a tele too would like to hear it i do own the hotrod 3

[@theGIGINIband]

the Pro Junior, it takes a certain kind of player . you can place it in a bigger cabinet and add a 12" speaker (like gearmandude) or just leave it as is and fiddle with the tone and volume until you get that tone that works for you

[@waynebridger4998]

Wow!!! This has gotta be one of the Best andertons videos I've seen. And I've watched them all. Awesome playing from both of you. That Les Paul sounded killer through the tweed Amp and where did that playing come from, Pete?

[@mark1982arsenal]

It’s nice to see even the best (Pete) makes mistakes, such a great player, he has so much feel 👍🏻

[@nihilanthropus]

mark1982arsenal he's a good but sloppy player tbh. He lacks some level of accuracy all the time.

[@andertons]

It’s called “feeling”.... :-). Anywho. We would formally like to invite you in to do a video with Pete or The Captain so we can get to see how to not play “sloppy” and to play with accuracy all the time. Our contact mail in in the about section. Please get in touch and we will set a day of filming video up. Thank you.

[@mattmanley7118]

You guys at Anderton's do the best reviews of gear out there bar none! You guys are witty and informative all at once! I would pay money or my soul to have an ounce of your blues playing both the Captain and Pete. I just bought a blues jr mk III ltd tweed. I tried the new blues jr but I just didnt love the speaker and the mark 3 ltd has a jensen branded speaker which the iconic 65 reverb has as well. I tried the deluxe but I only play in my house BUT If I lived out in the middle of nowhere I'd love a deluxe! Ty for your continued objective reviews and laughs all in one! I wish you would open a shop here in the USA!!! Anyone here use a deluxe in their house?? Should I consider returning the mk 3 and spend the extra on the deluxe iv?

[@PoJoWo]

Can't find any specs to support the 6v6 thing with the blues junior, but if thats the case then its a great move for that model. The trick with the pro junior is to realise its got no tone stack, so to get that "fender" thing you need a mid scoop in front of it. Boss od3 with the gain low works a treat, as does anything with bass and treble that allows for de-emphasis of the mid frequencies that make it sound small. A big muff pi works surprisingly well if you watch the tone is backed off on the amp. I personally love that it doesnt have a tone stack as some amps with will never give you that champ bark thats so important to making a fender guitar squawk, that seventies clapton sound. Great demos as ever!

[@samclarke653]

He's had a number of signature fender amps for ages!

[@brymills]

How cool is the Captain’s job? Getting paid to spend 40 minutes sat next to Danish Pete while he plays like a monster! Given how Lee ended up there, I’d suggest he chose his parents well!!

[@homeslice1479]

WOW they absolutely saved the best for last. I am pre-ordering a Jr.

[@BoozyBeggar]

Damn, you guys were saying the Pro Jr sounds pokey or w/e, on the recording it sounds amazing, from the first note to the end.

[@darrenprice1417]

I wish Fender would recreate the G-Dec 3 30 practice amp! I just got my old one out and got some great sounds out of it. With today's tech and with backing tracts , that would be great

[@TheScottCard]

Power tubes are EL84 for the Blues Junior not 6V6 as Captain stated...you're getting rusty Cap!

[@exchgr]

Scott Card I think this proves that EL84 is not really what gives Vox ACs the ridiculously bright spanking British tone, but perhaps more circuitry and speakers

[@jarrydee2799]

The Deville is 6l6

[@edwinmartinez9787]

So right

[@johnpandolfino8663]

I jammed at a club open mike night blues based jam for 7 year's on a Tuesday night.....the back line consisted of two Fender hot rod deluxe reverbs..... I'd set it to the clean channel and ran a tube screamer into it for leads ....great amplifier

[@MrTentpegs]

Hey guys, nice vid as always! I do have one humble request, however. When you are demo'ing an amp, perhaps you could mix in a mid-range Ibanez, Schecter, or a Classic Vibe? Something that the majority of us can afford, rather than a custom shop fender strat. I'd just like to hear what the amp is going to make my "less stellar" guitars sound like. Thanks and keep jamming!

[@shred12korn]

I believe most of the tone comes from the Amp. Just my opinion. Guitar mainly to me is a tone shaper not a tone maker.

[@williamlittlefield4749]

I have 23 guitars - Epiphones, Reverend, Danelectro, G&L, Fender, Gibson, Washburn, Slick, LTD, Schecter, and Squier - none over $1000 and they all sound great through this amp. Tone is in the amp and fingers for the most part. No Ibanez guitars in my collection, but my LTD Hybrid II and Classic Vibe Strat sound awesome through my Deluxe.@@shred12korn

[@DaveDexterMusic]

I really don't think sound will change much past a certain price point. Build quality and playability, more so. I tried four Fender teles in a shop once, from 500-ish to about 1500. The more expensive ones had more range in their pickup selection, but ultimately sounded similar to the 500, which in itself sounded great.

[@roberthouston6130]

I agree.

[@mandobones8878]

Check out the Girls Aloud Graffiti my Soul 2005. Wicked playing Pete!

[@andrewreynolds3133]

Don't know why Lee's so dark on the PJ, maybe his tone radar's out. Anyway the Pro Jnr kills it hands down in this demo, especially with Pete's playing.

[@Zeal808]

Love the Blues Jr IV. Thinking of getting another for the stereo rig. Would be fun. It dies the big bass sparkle sound for sure

[@ross375]

Shoot out between amps like the blues junior; sonzera PRS, vox ac 10-15, blackstar, marshall

[@thebestian]

thanks for demonstrating how much better the deville is ;)

[@jameslewis2635]

To me the difference in the sound between the Hot Rod Deluxe and the Deville was subtle but I could really hear it the a/b test. It just shows how much difference your sound can be changed just by having a different cabinet, even with the same speaker type.

[@garyjford1981]

Need to throw a Blues Deluxe Reissue into the mix too, no one seems to be doing this 😢
