The Pro Junior will piss off the neighbors. Don’t be fooled by the 15 wattage. Starts to hurt my ears at around 3-4 on the volume. But, Crank the amps volume and use a Tube Screamer style pedal and use the pedal volume on low. Huge cranked tube sound without the loud volume!
Sounds like someone turned on a phaser at 3:40 but I think it's the mics or something. Loving the Pro Jr.
flanger.. sounds like a flanger.
More like a phaser

David lee Roth was walking down the hall. Happens all the time
The 4’ versions of the hot rod line are all sooo good sounding, big fan!
The beauty of the Pro Jr is in it's simplicity. I bought a used Pro Jr for home use about 3 years ago and wanted something that just sounds great and gives me the dynamics to want to keep playing. Heads up- I plays between 2-3 on the amp volume and use my controls on my guitar to keep the volume at a reasonable level. (it's Loud).
The speaker in the pro Junior is a P10r; the same as the ‘59 bassman, (which of course has four.) So I think the fellow on the right misspoke. I have two of these amps. Great for blues, and classic rock; also great pedal platform.
How exactly do you set one up as a pedal platform, which settings on the amp work best?
These amps sound awesome. But I’ve watched a lot of these videos and it seems impossible to play anything other than blues licks with them? Sometimes I play a note outside the pentatonic scale and I wonder if these amps can do that. Thanks!
Impossible. The amps have a filter on them that will not allow any non-pentatonic notes to be amplified.
Peter I did the blues lick filter mod on my amp and am loving it. No more double stops, scoops them right out.
😅😂🤣
😂😂😂😂

Played a Pro Jr. today with a MIM strat (with the most perfect neck ive ever played, have to say) and instantly fell in love. Have never played a smaller combo that could get such a creamy but still torn-up and touch sensitive sound. It was under $900, but unfortunately I'm not in the market for it right now. Whoever gets it will be a very happy player.
thank you guys, you helped me out a lot in my amp decision crisis :)
The Pro has me G.A.S.ing!
Fender boy actually had pretty good chops. I liked what he played at the end.
fender boy lol
A little torn between the pro jr 4 and the blues jr 3. Which of the two is a better buy?
I’m lucky enough to own both. They both cut through the mix really well. Ultimately it should come down to what you play. The BJ has more tonal options, but I find myself lugging the PJ around much more often - weight being a great benefit! I think the BJ is a great option for modern blues & rock sounds, and the PJ brings classic chimey goodness.
Have a 90's Blues Jr. with Bill M mods and a Celestion Greenback. A keeper. Had a Pro Jr. "Woody", now owned by Blues artist Carolyn Wonderland. Great with pedals.
That Frampton comes alive album is sitting right next to me ... one of my favs :)
Both sound very good, nice demo.
I own both of these amps, and I really like both of them. The Pro Jr. really surprised me with the tone coming from this little powerhouse.
Do you still prefer the Pro jr over the Blues jr?
Had pro Junior for years not sure what else ya need takes pedals sounds great clean and dirty with volume - only other amp On my wish list is the tone king gremlin
Fender, you guys are doing an awesome job with your amps, I recently got a 65 drri, super legit!
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Amos Mitchell instablaster ;)
@Mordechai Boone I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Mordechai Boone It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account!
@Amos Mitchell You are welcome xD
Paul sounds awesome.
The Pro Jr 4 gain is not that different. They just use a different pot with a more audio taper so your at full volume at 8 rather than 4/ 5 and it give more overdrive from there.
That slide at the beginning sounded exactly like the intro slide of Can you see Me from hendrix.
Sweet sounds and great playing
Guys, you need to slow down that backlight, its way too hot and is blowing out the edging you want to give. AT LEAST flag it off of Rick, when he is in profile he looks overlit and its just bad lighting there.
Ummmmm, I’m gonna need both!!!
I'd love to hear a Blues Jr. preamp and tone stack into a Princeton Power section. Just can't buy in to the el84 power section.
that blues junior boomy bass
What model Tele is that ? Sounds , looks so great ...
zx45zx is that a guess ? I mean it’s what I’d assume too without knowing for sure .
Just be fucking honest we know it matters to you that the amps sound good but your first and foremost priority is "How can we change the amps but maintain even lower costs and higher profit?" If you said that I would definitely applaud.
blues jr for me
The Pro Jr has a Jensen P10R NOT a P10Q.
john Richardson you are correct, I misspoke but that’s for paying attention. :)
The Pro JR is my favorite small amp . Great grab and go amp. I use 2 in stereo for live gigs .
Hi@@rickslespaul , the Pro Junior is fixed or cathode biased? Thanks
Don’t you love how the guy that works for fender for a living doing a review doesn’t even know what hes saying about the amp. Typical music industry guy.
The tweed all day long
Rick, you need to go back to shorter hair.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take it into consideration. But probably not. ;)
Keep the faith.
@@rickslespaul You're playing is uninspiring, cliche, boring and limited.
Jake 19 jake, and a happy new year to you too! I’ll work on more inspiring licks in the new year just for you, haha.
Jake 19...maybe, but you’re a dick, and Rick can practice. You can’t change being a Dick.
