OT: New Amp?

I just sold my Hot Rod Deluxe on ebay, I'm looking for a more bedroom oriented amp.

 

I'd like to stay with fender, since I loved the clean sounds on this thing, but I'm open to suggestions.

My budget is about 300 bucks.

Does anyone have anything to say about that amp? How's the reverb?

How about the Blues Jr? I might sell my Blues Deluxe and get one of those.


edit: nevermind. I just noticed your budget. It seems the Blues Jr. have jumped up considerably in price lately.

 

 

If I can find one used for 300 I'll do it, but those seem to get snapped up really quickly, and I need a new amp soon.

It does indeed, but I have a lead on a 250 buck pro junior, and I don't want to pay 50 bucks more for tweed.


I'd like reverb in the amp as well. Unless it's cheaper so I can buy a holy grail.

 

 

thats cool but i would think of the extra 50 going towards it being a yank,not the tweed.think he said speaker upgrade vs the new version too

How much reverb do you use? If its above a touch, I find that the BJr reverb gets pretty trebley higher up, so I don't like it too much

 

I love my Blues Junior, but if I could go back in time, I would get the pro junior just because I don't really use the EQ and don't use the reverb at all

If you aren't completely sold on another fender, look at the blackhearts, I've had one for my practice room for almost 6 months and LOVE it.

 

 

You could also buy Crxsh's tiny terror in a week.

Just get an MXR 10 Band EQ and pull the volume sliders all the way down. You will be able to play all night long without waking the neighbors. I play my 100W Marshall Half Stack in my apartment all the time and the tone pretty much stays the same but it's just very, very quiet. I also use a Fuzz pedal for dirt (before the EQ) so I don't have to crank the amp to get distortion.
