The "tweed version" (the one you reviewed) has a terrible speaker for what you want. The stock BJ Version 3, black, stock speaker, does MUCH better for gain. MUCH BETTER.
I was wondering if these amps could be pushed with an aggressive treble boost like the 33 instead of sending in an already distorted signal. Edit: Try with active pickups, too!
I’m not gonna lie. This is more interesting to me than a lot of the other Will It Chug videos. Seeing if Ola can pull metal tones out of traditionally non-metal gear makes for a much more compelling video.
Definetely. I feel like "Will it chug? Jackson guitar into ENGL amp" makes us all think "yes, it will chug" without even watching the video. This, on the other hand, is much more interesting
Yup. Strangely, I made a similar comment and wrote down he should try a Boss Blues Driver or something. Guess what video came up a couple months later...
40 plus years of experience, where the rubber meets the road is clean headroom...and then pedal it... buying an amp for high gain is not as important..sure my old JCM Marshall stack IS AVAILABLE, but will always opt for clean headroom for versatility!
I actually run a blues junior for my main sludge recording amp. You can get great fucking tone without blowing your fucking ears out (the DI doesn't actually fucking need it to be that loud for fucks sakes) it WILL fuck your hearing up if you want ask it to though. But the best part is the juicy fat warmth and delightful brightness that you can't quite get from Marshalls and Mesas. So, set it to the warmest, bassist, shiny, pretty sound, kick on an RAT, Doom Bloom, DOD FX86B, or your choice of aggression and watch it make the meanest wall of sound tones. Plus don't forget that the reverb can be absolutely stupid if that's a thing you need
@@SwedishMeattball 60-70 years ago was 1954-1964. This definitely would have blown some minds. Sabbath didn’t come out until 1970. We had fuzz pedals as far back as 1962 but in the ‘50s this would’ve been the golden ticket.
Ola not getting the chug and then forcing it with distortion pedals reminds me of when The Mythbusters couldn’t make something explode so they forced the explosion by putting gasoline and other explosives on top of it to explode :D
In this case though, a lot of high gain tones you are used to hearing are done the same way. With a distortion or overdrive. In some cases both and a compressor. Studio magic baby. There ARE amps that can be this tight without drive. But for the most part they need a push to not get all farty and hissy. No JCM or 5150 I’ve ever touched sounds studio ready without a push. In this case I can see Jamie say “well, let’s try a 120watt head into a 30watt speaker and see what lights on fire first”. Then let’s do it with a grenade in it.
@BITESIZEJONES A lot of guys leave the fat switch in all the time and may not realize that with a one button foot switch you can use it as a heck of a good solo boost. I played a blues junior in a ten piece band with horns and never had any trouble being heard. It was versatile enough to play nice fendery cleans for the motown material but then by stepping on a pedal and using the solo boost/fat switch I was able to get santana tones as well. Great amps that definitely punch above their weight class.
Just watched this one after your Vox episode. As someone who's had experience modifying and building amp circuits, I can tell you that part of the problem you're having is that you're keeping the master volume too low. Unlike higher gain amps where almost all the dirt is produced in the preamp (while going into a relatively cleaner power amp), vintage/lower gain circuits get most of their distortion through the preamp pushing the power amp hard. So if you turn down the master while turning up the gain, it won't be anywhere near as thick or gainy as you might be expecting. It might not necessarily make it "chug", but if you have the opportunity to run the blues jr. or vox again with the master fully up, you'll definitely get closer to the gainier sounds you're looking for.
Yeah, I hate it when people say the Blues Jr. sounds like shit and then keep the gain up and the master turned down 🤦🏻♂️ I mean, the bjr isn't exactly a bassman but there are some nice sounds in there
@@maxonmendel5757 it certainly has the same gain stage 1 -> gain stage 2 -> eq stack -> gain stage 3 -> phase inverter topology but the caps and resistor values are somewhat off
That moment when you realise that chugging is not everything in life, but playing an amazing CS Fender with a very nice Fender amp is as exciting as playin' BRUTOOOOL
Agreed, that tone is amazing. As my gigs consist of my office, this amp is perfect for what I’m doing. I have a digital modeling set up with a helix running into a power caby to 212…. So on the digital end I have access to damn near antything. I have three amazing electric guitars. A PRS Custom 24 SE, a USA PRS custom 24, and a USA Fender Stratocaster 1960’s reissue. While I love the helix and powercab I also wanted to build a pure analog system to really get the natural tones of these great guitars. So after selling a high dollar recurve bow I bought a blues JR and a shopping bag of various used pedals. I’m going to throw up a RUclips video
At my music school, I actually had to perform with my metal band using a Fender combo they had there. I forget the exact model, but I had to play a few death metal songs using this super clean Fender amp, boosted with a Tube Screamer with all of it's settings maxed out
Thanks you, I was wondering where this riff came from. A little voice whispering Dimebag in my ear but I was unable to remember on which album it was. Brilliant!
@@texanhobo1479 I recommend the Texas Specials for sure. The bridge can come off a bit shrill, but nothing a thicker set of strings or more low end in your eq can't fix. The middle/neck & neck is where they shine though. Classic Stevie Ray sound for days. With distortion, they have a nice gritty sound too.
I'll tell you what you made me want to buy this amp.... Because how great everything sounded without the pedal and then it's like hey you can't get there on its own but hit this pedal and bang! Fuck that sounded good
01:13 - "amphickuplifier" - I just learned a new swenglish word from you, damned Viking !!!! And then got the hickup too from laughing at this hillarious video. :))))
I would love to see you do a WIC with a 65 Twin Reverb. Back in my time in recording school, each studio had a plexi and a twin reverb. I always found the Fender to be better at getting crushing tones than the marshal. The only thing is, you better have some understanding neighbors.
The “original” Mesa boogie was a modded fender and they are both pretty mid scooped so that makes sense if you really pushed a twin reverb you could get pretty heavy
A plexi and a twin verb in each studio!? Drool. Our little local music school had a hundred Peavey practice amps each with their own headphone out 😂 Downtown Minneapolis, 1999
I think that the smaller version you mentioned in the beginning of the video is the Fender Pro Junior. Excellent video by the way. Greetings from Brazil! 🤘🤘🤘
With the Rev, that sounds freaking great for the metal imo. Maybe a speaker swap is needed but I actually like the ability to make an amp sag and fart when I want.
I had the black tolex version as my first amp and It will not chug. After I figured some things out I put a DoD death metal distortion pedal in front of it and it was good enough to learn... but I probably would have been better off starting on something else. I got all my money back in resale 20 years later and it served me well enough. I was the metal guy with the best cleans in the room.
Imagine Ola walking into a bar with a blues jr and a relicced strat looking like he’s about to play a blues gig….and then pulls a fast one on everyone when busts out the chugs and the heavy’s
@@halogears98 hard to tell what you mean from here. What sounds like sh** to you might be nice to my ears. I have a superstrat type of guitar with epiphone Humbuckers (Korea made) and it sounds fine to me. They drive the amp a lot sooner than any single coil I have here so when I crank the amp I can control break up through dynamics and the guitar's volume knob. I'm getting Seymour Duncan sh6 soon, might be a different story then. But yeah, I do feel that the amp sounds best with my Fender strat and the tele. Very "fendery", if you know what I mean.
You gotta push the power tubes to get it to chug, and have the gain set on the lower side and the mids up. A TubeScreamer also helps. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it works. So does a gain pedal if you can’t be bothered to play the amp that loud.
This amp has another trick up it’s sleeve, since it’s a master volume amp you could have tried it with the volume on full and get more power amp saturation out of your tone.
A lot of people love blues Jr's, because they didn't have one of the early ones. The early mid 90s blues Jr's were extremely boxy sounding, the eminence speaker was just not a good match for it. Then there was the cathode bias. The bias the amp set itself to was so high the power tubes were running at near there maximum even with everything on zero and nothing plugged into it. Power tubes lasted 6 to 8 months tops. The tubes also left scorch marks on the chassis. Never seen an amp do that before or since. Then there was the early versions of the circuit. It was either designed by a drunk or an amateur. The reverb introduced a frying bacon like sound, due to being inserted into the circuit before the volume, and often the wires inside the reverb tank would get cut by their own connectors (that's really fender's fault accutronics made the reverb tank) Then there was the components used. The jacks were the same crap youd find on the cheapest crappiest solid state amps from the late 80s. The pots aren't even secured to the chassis. You can push a little too hard on a knob and completely break the pot. Bad design all around. Then came the billm mods. You'd spend 400 on the amp, then spend another 300 or 400 on his mods to make the blues Jr sound just okay and not self destruct. I never fell for buying all the mod kits and all that, instead as soon as I could I bought a different amp, and eventually gave away the blues jr for free. I just didn't want it anymore. But then fender moved production to Mexico. They revised the circuit, much less boxy, flabby, the tubes ran at a more reasonable bias, and the sound improved greatly. If you ever get a chance to get a US made blues Jr from the 90s, pass on it.

You should consider recording a short quad track in these videos. Amps like this that have very low distortion can really beef up when layered
When the REVV came in I was in the kitchen and didn´t see it - thought a new video has begun! :)
If you’re going to do small amps on this series, the Supro Delta King has a better drive circuit than the BJ. Takes pedals real well too.
Supro Blues King 12 (same amp internally) has the effects loop. He could realistically make that chug.
I would love to hear that since i like to have supro one day. Cheers
tweed's are criminally underrated for heavy music
Blues tunes pushed with OD makes a killer sound
Wow with the pedal is sounds really really tight and nice. Clean sounds are stellar. Might go down this route. Pls do more amps like this!!
You should totally try the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe next, that actually does have a fair bit of gain.
It'll probably still need an overdrive, but that would be an interesting video.
It has some gain, but it straight up does NOT like overdrive. Sounds like you're pushing a solid state mic preamp.
