About the Fender Blues Junior

The Fender Blues Junior is one of the most popular small tube amps ever made, and it's been a go-to for gigging musicians who need real tube tone at manageable volumes since 1995. At 15 watts with a single 12" speaker, it's loud enough for small clubs but not so loud that you can't crank it in an apartment. The used market for Blues Juniors is enormous — they're traded constantly, which means prices are competitive and inventory is always available.

Body Style

1x12 combo tube amp, 15 watts

Tone Character

Warm, bluesy clean tone that breaks up nicely at higher volumes

Buying Guide

  • 1Check the tubes — retube cost is $50-80 and tubes should be replaced every 2-5 years depending on use. Ask when they were last changed.
  • 2Earlier versions (I, II, III) all sound slightly different. The III and IV are generally preferred for their improved reverb and voicing.
  • 3The speaker is a 12" Fender-branded unit. Many players swap it for a Cannabis Rex or Jensen, which is a cheap upgrade that dramatically improves the tone.
