Yesterday I finally got around to ordering a new Fender Pro Junior amp and have been obsessively clicking my package tracking bookmark ever since. :D I've done my research, but is there anything cool all my Fender buds can tell me about this amp (something you can learn only after having it for a while), just to tide me over until it comes? Thanks!

I have a Pro Jr (USA made Tweed edition). It is a really fun amp. Excellent, bright tone at lower volumes. Mine has a slight rattle/hum when I hit bassier notes, but i think that is just the tubes and they need to be changed.

Have a great time with yours! Send us an update/review when it arrives and you test drive it.

Best bang for the buck???

Fender's pro junior, for a few reasons:

-The TONE: Its a great recording amp, ive used it many many times in the studio, often choosing it over 10X more expensive amps. Two buttons: Volume & tone and with these 2 you can dial in almost any sounds...

-The price!!! In this price range....No competition; again, like I said, in the studio, I often prefer it over much more expensive models

-Light (who wants to carry a brit stack or a 65lbs Super reverb to a gig...Well, Unless you have roadies)

-In Today's world most concert hall, bar, church, etc will provide you with a PA, so just mic the amp and use monitor (besides, your ears will thank you) if not loud enough.

Oups...

Forgot to mention that Ive also used it live on countless occasions and never had a complaint about it...

In my opinion...The pro Junior is probably Fender's best kept secret, the tech team working on this little gem probably had an over zealous techie who got a lot of %?&*%? for making such an amp for such a price...

Having said that...We all know that its a matter of taste but Ive done a lot of research before buying mine and Im still looking for a bad user review...

PJ's are great amps out of the box. Enjoy it like it is for awhile. You can always to a speaker and tube change down the road when you get the itch.

Enjoy.

I'm waiting on delivery of a used one - I've played new in stores, and the sound is great.
