    Tweed looks and sounds perfect for my taste if you think its too trebly thats why you got the knobs there to mesure the highs mids and lows .. tweed its more alive than the iv .. iv sounds great too more like a British style blues rock amp the tweet more American blues classy and warm sound 👌🏻🎸 go with the tweed if you like buddy guy, clapton , robert cray , srv hendrix and more

    This is by far the best review of the Blues jr on RUclips.
    Based on this review I was able to make an informed decision about whether to go for the tweed or blackface version . I ended up going for the Blackface as I found the tweed a little harsh for my taste , still a great amp just not for me . I can still get the crunch I want from the Blackface but I prefer the mid range sound . keep making these great videos , super informative and really helped me make the right decision . Would really love to see and hear your thoughts on the Bassbreaker amps , particularly the 15 watt version and maybe a comparison with the blues Jr .

      I have to wonder, if it's not just the Jensen speaker vs. the Eminence? Fender is too cheap to mod the circuit. (Dammit... ) I mean, it would be cost prohibitive to manufacture a different PCB for the same line of amps with different components. (Better?)

      @johnc3403 5 лет назад +2

      If you don't like bright, you made exactly the right choice. The Blues jr in tweed with the Jenson is waaaaaay bright. It can be tamed but needs appropriate pickups. I run Fender pure vintage 59's which are bright by nature. The two together sound awesome, really, but i have to wind waaay back on the high end (amp, strat and pride of texas) to tame it.

    Yes, as others have said, a well presented and informative review.
    I have been trying to find out what the differences are (that would influence the sound) between the two versions of the Blues Junior in the video (for a given model year/version the BJ electronics are the same):
    Original BJ (USA made) black:
    Circuit: first green PCB
    Speaker: Eminence, designed for Fender (closely resembling the Eminence Legend 125)
    BJ3 Tweed:
    Circuit: in 2001 the circuit was changed to enhance the treble, compared to the darker sound produced by the first green PCB's signal paths. The internal reverb signal order was also revised, which gave a cleaner signal.
    Speaker: The standard BJ3 is fitted with an Lightning Bolt speaker, produced by Eminence for Fender, but the BJ3 Tweed is fitted with a Jensen C12N speaker.

    As far as I know they only have different speakers and of course covering material. The Lacquered Tweed version has a Jenson C-12N. The standard version is black textured vinyl covering with Black Faced style Black/Silver Grill cloth and a Fender Lightning Bolt speaker by Eminence. No other differences, not in the pre- amp section, same schematic, same parts,same tubes, same cabinet.
    Look at the wiring schematic and tube's in each amp if you do not believe me.
    So the difference you are hearing is all from different speakers and possible how broken in the speakers are in each amp. That's it Doctor!

      "Face" on classic Fenders refers to the panel behind the knobs. Calling this a "Black Face" is strange.

    • @telecaster-ns3vr
      @telecaster-ns3vr 7 лет назад +3

      wrong, the Mexican and American boards are different. My Mexican made tweed Blues Junior III Limited Edition version also came with the Jensen alnico speaker. It's quite a bit different than the standard black version from the USA and I think that's what we are hearing here. The tweed version sounds far superior in this video.

    • @tricko2286
      @tricko2286 7 лет назад

      Robin Barrett Actually, Budda is right. Here is the blackface description straight from Fender: "From mid-1963 to late 1967, Fender’s so-called “blackface” amps were named for the color of their control panels, but as these amps also had black Tolex covering, the term “blackface” quickly came to denote any Fender amp that was basically all black."

    • @realcoyotekings
      @realcoyotekings 7 лет назад

    The priceless information here is not how the two amps differ. But, how he manipulates the volume and tone controls on the guitar. All that and how the amp's controls interact is the magic. I like both, riff dependent.

    All cream board tweed Blues Juniors have a “Limited Edition” plaque on the back. There’s nothing limited about the edition; they built a bunch and when they ran out, they built another bunch.
    The Blues Junior chassis has also been used in the Two-Tone, a large amp with a 10-inch and a 12-inch speaker. The chassis can also be found in the weird, plastic-cased Deco-Tone and in some Custom Shop amps with exotic wood cases such as bubinga.
    Other cabinet coverings include blond Tolex, dark brown Tolex with a wheat-colored grille (custom for a Canadian music store chain), and the Texas Red Tolex.
    Outside the chassis, Fender has used several different speakers in some Blues Junior models. All green boards and all black Tolex BJrs use the Fender Special Design, which is built by Eminence and is equivalent to the Eminence Legend 125. This speaker has been used in the Hot Rod Deluxe, Blues Deluxe, Deluxe Reverb and the Twin Reverb, among others. This is a good, all-around speaker. It doesn’t have the deepest bass, however, and the highs can sometimes be “fizzy.” When the cream
    board tweeds were introduced, Fender chose the Jensen reissue (made in Italy) C12N. The C12N doesn’t sound much like vintage Jensens, and it can be shrill-sounding. But it cuts through the band well. Some people prefer the Special Design and don’t consider it an improvement. The Texas Red model uses the Celestion Vintage 30 speaker. The V30 is known for its strong midrange and is well suited for classic rock/lead guitar. It’s a little weak in the bass and the highs are a bit more muted than
    the other speakers.

    This video has caused me to get dressed (8am Sunday morning) drive 40 minutes to closest GC to play these 2 amps if both are in & hopefully bring one home with me!! One of your other videos convinced me its time to slowly start the process of buying a new amp for home playing & was going to look into getting a fender hot rod pro jr in a few weeks, mainly because it's the cheapest tube amp with that fender tone. Then I watch this video & I'm putting my shoes on & checking bank account balances. I'm afraid to watch anymore of your videos, there's no telling what I'll be trying to buy next. Lol great tone, great playing, very well done. this video will be priceless to so many that are in the market for tube amp even if it's just to realize this ain't the tone they're looking for. You said it best when you said it's very hard to describe sound & tone with words! So true

    Great demo and great playing - finally someone who is not acting and gives a straightforward honest review - thank you 😊 Owned a few BJR's and speaker is only diff between two (unless some slight year spec diff like caps, etc)... it is amazing to hear difference a speaker makes. Also, I own a modded BJR with Cannibus Rex and Hammond Choke, Transformer and high spec caps which is an amazing amp - best sounding BJR I have heard.

    I personally decided to buy the Tweed. It works really well as my main amp paired with a Tele with Seymour Duncan Hot for Tele pickups. I play through NYXL 10-46. Fantastic amp for lugging around with a pedal board. I will say that I have grown to like using this amp when I can turn it up. If you can't turn it up, then the bass feels really ugly and makes the guitar sound kinda stupid. When the volume is up, the cabinet is able to supply some of the missing bass that comes with lower volumes. I really like running the amp without the Fat Boost because I use an always one Keeley C4 that does enough compression. If you run this amp straight, I'd use the fat boost to give you a sense of that compression that really sweetens up guitar tone.
    If you are able to lug around a larger amp, certainly look into the Blues Deluxe that is only $100-200 more brand new and has more wattage and a bigger cabinet. Tone is subjective, so get what you want and make it work for you!!!

    Having just bought a blackface after quite a long time trying out both that and the tweed version, like others, I concur that this video gives a spot on representation of how I found the amps to perform. I wish I had seen this before heading to the guitar shop!
    I just couldn't live with how trebly and bright the tweed was, but was very impressed by the reverb and the look of that version of the amp.
    The blackface had a much warmer, more versatile sound however the reverb and aesthetics really let it down.
    In the end, sound won out over looks and I already own a reverb/delay pedal anyway.
    Great video.

    • @margovallen

  • @JillandKevin
    @JillandKevin 9 месяцев назад +1

    Just to set the record straight, both amps have the same electronics. Speaker (& cab covering) are the only differences. The Tweed has a Jensen C12N speaker, while the black amp has one of several less expensive speakers, depending on year.
    The only difference in circuitry would be the early "Green Board" amps that were made in Corona CA. They had a much "darker" sound (which I wasn't happy with). The "BillM mods" and such were designed to brighten up the USA models, which the "Cream Board" Made in Mexico models addressed (along with a better reverb response).

    • @BuddaGuedes

    • @JillandKevin
      @JillandKevin 9 месяцев назад

      @@BuddaGuedes I would guess you were comparing different years. They DID make small changes year to year, but for a given year, the circuitry is the same, and the only difference is the speaker.
      BTW, the C12N sounds drastically better than whatever they put in the black version for my purposes (I have 2 BJ's)
      Here's a quote "Answer: The differences between the Fender Blues Junior Lacquered Tweed and the Blues Junior IV are not purely cosmetic. The most important one is the speaker. You will find a Jensen C12-N with Ceramic Magnet on the Lacquered Tweed, and a Celestion A-Type on the IV."

  • @sugarmamaboy
    @sugarmamaboy 7 лет назад +3

    This is a really good review-unlike most. Great playing.
    The difference you hear must be the speaker. I have the tweed myself. I installed a Jensen C12K (I remember how I hated the Jensen C12Q so I figured the heavier the better, and I like the 12K, but no, I put the C12N back in again.)I did cut the bright cap by the way.
    When they first came out in the early nineties I bought a Pro Junior and Blues Junior. Been a fan of the Pro ever since and did not like the Blues at all.
    But I gave the Blues another try a few months ago, and now I like it a lot. Strange.
    I don't like channel switching and master volume. Don't like power soaks. Thought the best compromise was a PPI master volume (volume seems to become a bigger problem by the year, doesn't it )
    So I always believed that if you really had to use a MV, you cranked the MV and not too much of that pre-amp.
    With the Blues Junior I find that I turn the pre-amp all the way up, and even if I keep the MV down, it still sounds full and cleans up when you turn the volume down on the guitar !
    I realize that this is not so much a comment on the difference between the black and the tweed BJ, but I am curious to hear what other people think about this MV thing that goes so much against what I always thought . Oh yeah. I like the tweed much better. I also think the tweed looks much better haha I don't really care what the reverb sounds like and I don't understand why people find it so important in any amp.I think that it is just as good (or bad) as , for example, on the deluxe reverb, as in : becomes too much fast. but as always, IMHO One last thing. I do believe that the build quality of the Pro Junior 3 has improved since version 2 and same thing goes for the BJ I suppose ?

    I just got my Tweed Blues Jr. A few days ago. I prefer bassier sounds, so I like my amps to have a fat, thumpy low end. Yes, the tweed is very bright, but adjusting the EQ will do wonders and I can give it a fat bottom. It's also getting along with my pedals. Always wanted a tweed amp, so definitely happy with this bad boy!

    Hey Budda, first... your English is skillful and appreciated. Big, big fan of the many Portuguese futebol players on my favorite team, Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves). The warmth of the black face, I'm sure, will complement my Epiphone 335. Your video was incredibly helpful. Obrigado meu amigo.

    I don't mean to be rude...But there is some wrong info in this video. Here is the deal.....
    There is the older USA amps with the "green" circuit board and the newer Mexican made amps with the "cream" board. They are all made in Mexico now.. And there is NO difference AT ALL in the "MIM" amps! Simply different tolex/tweed coverings...AND speakers! That's it. Speakers make a huge difference in tone.
    And the only difference between the older USA amps & the MIM versions is that the USA amps are darker sounding and the MIM are brighter sounding, and also how the reverb is wired. The verb is wired up better on the MIM amps (USA made amps had some hum in the verb) They are ALL killer amps though! I have an old USA "Woody" version, and I love it! They are also easy to mod too. Look up BillM Audio...He has some really good info on the amps!

    • @BuddaGuedes
      @BuddaGuedes  7 лет назад +1

      static fuzz thanks for you input. It happens that my black blues jr is made in Mexico. Watch episode 44 where I compare both amps using both each other speakers and the built in speaker. Thanks again for your great contribution.

    • @ZzzzzzzxxxzzzYZ4
      @ZzzzzzzxxxzzzYZ4 5 лет назад

      my usa made black version has the cream board. i installed a celestial V30. Did a couple of cap changes via BillM.Changes a resistor for a slightly lower tube bias. Use a 12Au7 in the Inverter position. It now is much better than stock. Playing with tubes will drastically change the character of most amps.

    Great comparison video Budda! I got the tweed version with the Jensen C12N speaker. Really liked the tones but found the speaker had too much high end and too fizzy with the gain (volume) cranked. I swapped the stock speaker out for a Celestion Vintage 30 and was very happy with the new sound... more mids focused and tighter bass, especially with the gain cranked. In general it just tamed the high end more. Great amp, really like it. Thanks again for your review!

    Hats off Doc. Great job on playing, using English and above all sharing your thoughts on my own amp - Blues junior tweed. Like you, I do find the treble overshadows its sound and will be looking to address that issue - either Bill M. mods or a speaker swop to the Cannabis Rex as advised by Bill and many many others.
    You are doing God's work and its very much appreciated. Cheers from sunny Thailand

    Great review man! I like the tweed because you can adjust your mids, bass, treble no big deal. But you can't adjust for the, I don't know the word, transparency. The black blues jr. sounds muffled to me. I can only play around 4 volume before it gets too loud for me. And it is plenty clean down there.

    Hey Budda, ever tried a AT7 (ecc71) as first stage tube (next to the input jack). It adds more use to the amp and gives more ease on dialing in a good gain level. It makes the amp sounding more like the old blackfaces(clean and powerful)..
