Has anyone ever heard one of these amps? They are not available in my country but I was thinking of buying a Blues Junior and replacing the speaker with a Celestion Vintage30.

Hello StratOblues,

Firstly welcome to the forum.

Those "Texas Reds" were a limited edition thing
and I haven't seen any around for good while.
They already come equipped with the vintage 30
from what I remember, same blues Jr amp with a
speaker upgrade and covering upgrade and they also
have the nice molded handle instead of the leather.
If you get it post some photos if possible, thanks.

Cheers.

PS - Great Amp.

Thanks for the welcome. I have seen a couple of YouTube demos of the Texas Red Junior and it sounds good even through the computer. I find the stock speaker in the Juniors to harsh and the Jensen speaker in the NOS good, but not exactly the tone that I am after. I will probably end up buying a Junior and replacing the speaker with either a Verteran30 or a Vintage30. Fender had advised me that they might consider doing another run of the Juniors with the Vintage30 speaker but I can't want around for ever, although it would be good to own a 'custom' amplifier rather than modifying a stock one.

Hey Strat0Blues,

I bought a Texas Red Blues Junior 1 year ago, and i love it. I have to be honest though, i only bought this amp for the look, yes it does have a better speaker. Even before i bought it, i compared the normal BJ one with the Texas Red and could barely hear the difference. But for only $75 more, i could get a sweet looking amp, and a better speaker hehe.


:D
