Cheap, Low-Powered Fender Valve Amp

Been away for a couple of weeks so I missed this,

I have a Blues Jr and love it, it's especially nice with single coil pickups though I hate the pickups I have in my HB equipped guitars (hence I spend so much time here wising that my family didn't require food, clothing & heating.).


Turned up full even with the stock speaker it's loud and a nice celestion pseaker would work wonders for it.

Theres also a lot of modifications for it too.

Including making it dirtier or cleaner.

OH yeah forgot to say I beleive the Selmer T&B 50 was the amp used by oth Barrett and Gilmour in the early floyd days.

I own a Blues Junior. Great little amp and very powerful in such a small package. I modified mine with the 'BillM' mods.

These are cheap mods to do (you need some experience of electronics and also how not to kill yourself with mains power!). I actually found I prefered the stock speaker more than the C12N replacement I had once I'd made these mods. The slightly boxy character was gone and the tone opened up loads. I can't recommend this amp highly enough.
