Fender Blues Junior Lacquered Tweed Product Overview by GAK

Fender's 15-watt Blues Junior Lacquered Tweed is a warm-toned amplifier perfect for both gigging and studio use.

The EL-84 output tubes provide fat mid tones while warmth is provided by the 12AX7 preamp tube overdrive. There is also real spring reverb.

You'll find easier-to-read black control panel with front-reading text, a vintage Fender "dog bone" handle, vintage-size jewel light, "sparkle" circuit mod, rattle-reducing shock absorbers for the EL84 tubes, highly sensitive vintage-voiced 12" Jensen speaker, and heavy-duty set-screw "chicken head" knobs. Here's a clip of the regular Blues Junior, which is exactly the same under the hood.
