How good are the 'regular' Blues Jr. amps?
BJs are OK. its an el84 Fender so kind of voxy-marshally?
I have a Vaporizer which I think is very similar to a BJ
and I love that amp.
The thing is you can get an used BJ for $200 on CL all day.
the heavy relics Ive heard have shit speakers but all the others are decent.
If you get a BJ for less than $200 you're having a good day.
But to me I like the ProJr better. I always say the Projr sounds like
the BJ looks...that is it sounds like a tweed deluxe with the volume on 5-6.
nice dirt/grit/grind, but cleans up well.
depends what you need to get from these.
What do you want from a BJ?
What do you need from a ProJr?
Both can do blues, swamp, even Rockabilly (I play a lot of rockabilly and almost
got a BJ-ended up getting a tweed deluxe instead -now thats a real tweed amp with tone for daaaaays...
But I might get a BJ anyway. I only have 1 amp and a BJ is rather small,
I cant get a BJ and the wife will never know (as long as Im quiet)
