Hey there,
I'm starting to get more serious with my guitar playing and need a serious upgrade with my gear (Current gear is Casino practice amp and Ltd EC-50).

I've been told the Blues Junior is a great valve amp for people on a budget, but that $939 price tag (Australian) is a bit much. Is it worth it?
>>
Apologies for double post, is it capable of being loud enough to compete with a loud drummer? Thanks.
>>
>>65680212
Nah, if you want to compete with a loud drummer get the Hot Rod Deville 60w 212
>>
Never buy an amp new especially fenders. I bought my blues jr used for 300 and sold it for 350 when I realized I liked the tone options on the super champ more
>>
>>65680520

I would if I could afford it.

>>65680600

What was it about the tone of the Blues Junior that you didn't like?
>>
Buy a traynor ycv20/40/whateverfitsyourneeds
Another god one is the crate palomino v32(don't know about the smaller or bigger palominos), or the Crate V3112.

I remember after a while looking, I was able to find booth for under 300.

There's no local Crate dealers or any Australian websites. Also looks out of my price range ($1000 AUD max)

Do you get your distortion from your amp or from pedals? if it's pedals, can't go past the roland jc-120. Best clean sound going and handles pedals really well. I got one for $550 AU
>>
>>65680946

I just use a Boss DS-1 for my distortion. My guitar teacher said that Blues Jr, DS-1 and the Jaguar HH I'm getting would be a good match, but I'm not certain.
>>
>>65680648
Nohing arong with it. It's a good blues amp. The superchamp is more versatile
>>
>>65681086

Fair enough. Going off of what I've been told about it it's a fairly decent amp for what I want from it but I'm trying to find the best amp for me.
>>
>>65681209
go into a music shop and play through a bunch. best way to find out
>>
>>65681057
If you're trying to get serious, then swap out your ds-1 for a better distortion pedal
>>
>>65680946
How would you say the JC-40 stacks up against the 120? I'm wondering because I was thinking about getting a 120, but it's a bit out of my price range, and the 40 is over half the price of it where I am.
>>
>>65681353
this
>>
>>65681369
I'm not too sure about those ones, they are probably decent but 40w is not gonna get you above a loud drummer. There's a bunch of used JC120's going on gumtree australia right now for under $1000. Another option is a used Fender Deville, usually get them around $800.

If you wanna buy new, you're generally gonna get something about half as good as if you buy used for the same price. Most of these older Fender and Roland amps are built to last, i recommend them anon
>>
>>65680182
look on gumtree. you should be able to find a jcm900 or jcm2000 (dsl, don't get tsl) for like 600-700 then pick up a good 2x12 closed back cab for a few hundred more.
>>

>>65680712
1+ for the Traynor. Just got the 40w used for $500 & it sounds great/is loud as fuck. Pick up a 1x12 extension cab and you're set.
