Some of you probably know of Bill Machrone (Bill M.) who has created a bunch of mods for the Blues Junior amplifier. I recently had him do a few mods to my Tweed Blues Junior, and I've made a video reviewing the changes.

Very Nice Job , Anthony!
I have been courious about how much of a learning curve the new tones would give..
IMO, Looks like you have taken a sweet sounding amp, and made it even sweeter..
I have been runing a stock black tolex Blues Jr sence about 1998.
The only change I made to mine was a Celestion (1975) Greenback for about 9 months, to a V-30 in about 1999.
You may have me pulling the trigger on some Billm mods here myself..
I have always found my little Blues Jr ,to be packed full of tone from the start..
It definitly sounds as if the mods added much more range to yours..
Keep up the good work..
Alot of us love what you do.. ;)

Congratulations, and nice review. I had my HRDLx modded by Jim Price at Omega Amps about a month ago with similar results; brighter, fuller, and much better OD. However, the only responses I got were how could you put $240.00 in to a HRDLx. Nothing will ever be as good, either in reality or perception, as a vintage amp cranked up, but there are a lot of great mods out there for the Fender Blues and Hot Rod series amps that are cost effective and sound great.

It's good to see that you guys are finding ways to get the most out of those amps. Art
