albertjohn Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Ref my previous thread on amp choice. Probably better as a poll. Which one would you buy and why? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenKen Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Timely poll for me. Just bought one of these. Time will tell but I like it a lot. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 ZENKEN Is that a Blues JR or a Pro Jr? I have played both and actually like the Pro better and its $100 cheaper. Yea a timely poll I am searching for my Christmas gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky4 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I voted for the Fender, but I'm not familiar with the others. I have an early 90s tweed Pro Jr that I love. The Pro has a simple tone and volume layout, while the Blues Jr has an array of tonal and volume/drive options. I think it might also have built in reverb.

Big Bill Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I love Vox. IMHO you can not go wrong with any of their amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Mine is a actually a Blues Jr. It's got a solid pine cabinet with a 10x12 speaker set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 It's a shade over 20, but I'm still convinced that the best overall amp is the Deluxe Reverb. It does any and everything. I played both rock and country with it - and ran an A-E and microphone through it for folkie stuff solo. It's loud enough that if you really need more, you probably should be run through the board. It's light enough you can carry it. Weakness: This is critical, IMHO, there's no "line out" at all. That latter is the only reason I'd not really care to have one again. But... you're talking tube amps, so... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chase1410 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 New Blues Junior III (Hot Rode series). 15w. B) A couple of weeks ago I just got my first fender amp, the new Fender Hot Rod Deluxe..and man I love it...never heard real cleans before this amp...the dirty channel is nothing to brag about, but the way it handles pedals is just crazy...really makes there subtle characteristics shine through..I didnt think I'd be as happy as I am, do you like the new modifications they made to the new series>?

Shnate McDuanus Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I would go for the Blues Junior or the Windsor. I haven't tried the Laney, and I didn't like the Jet City when I tried it. The Windsor will be hard to get a usable clean tone out of. The BJ has thick, brilliant cleans and sweet, loose, warm OD. YMMV. The truth is, though, that you'll end up with a sweet amp regardless of what you choose. Happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I'd go with the Fender. But I must admit I haven't really tried the others. I just think the Fender is a pretty great amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Blues Junior. I have one, and I like it alot. Never played any of the others, don't need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Of the 4 mentioned, I have the Blues Junior! Great little amp, that's plenty loud (and toneful) for any bar/small club gig. I also own a Fender HR Deluxe, and Twin Reverb, for larger venues. All...amazing amps! (Although...I love Vox, and Marshall's, too! ) Good Luck!

Mark Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I found a music store around me that has a couple VHT amps all tube combos. I am going to bring my 335 in there next week and check them out. Unfortunately the only guitars they sell are Mike Kelly and some other stuff I never heard of. Has anyone played through a VHT? Thoughts? Chinese made but point to point and pretty affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I have the Blues Junior and the Laney VC - 15. I prefer the distortion quality of the Laney but the clean of the Fender; but both are lovely little amps. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertjohn Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks to everyone who has responded over the last few days. The Fender Blues Junior is the clear winner with over 50% of the votes. Always good to get the views of this forum. I won't be buying the amp just yet but hopefully early in the new year. Thanks again. It's reminded me what a great place this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabba2203 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I really dig my Jet City 2112 - I like it. Is it for you? Who knows. Is the Fender for you just because 50% of the poll chose it? (Just the opinion of 14 people) Time will tell. Opinions, Opinions.....I make my own judgments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
