Fender Blues Junior

The Fender Blues Junior is a small valve combo amplifier introduced in the mid 1990s and still in production. It is rated at about fifteen watts and uses two output valves in the class A/B arrangement, driving a single twelve-inch speaker, and it offers a single channel with volume, master volume, tone controls, a midrange boost switch and spring reverb. That layout lets the amplifier be pushed into break-up at reasonable volume, and its compact size and simple controls have made it one of the most common small valve amplifiers on stages and in studios.
