Ok; I'm *signing in*!
After a nice long study of the Pro Junior III...reading/watching reviews, and questions/comments in different forums, I decided to go ahead and get one of these.

So happy I did. I have found (long ago), that I am a 15 watt (Tube) fan. 15 watts is my "sweet spot" as far as amps go. Have had a Blues Junior for years, and a Super Champ X2 head (and SC112 cabinet) for exactly a year now, and finally this Pro Junior III since Christmas---love them all, and feel like 15 watts is perfect for me in practice, recording, gigging...all of it.

Simplicity is what drew me to this amp (aside from the wattage). An on/off switch (have to admit it would be nice to have a 'Stand-By' switch, but the Blues Junior and Super Champ X2 don't have one either, so I make due), a Volume knob, and a Tone knob.
The Tone knob (on my setup) stays at 7 always, and forever. That's where I like it whether playing direct, or with pedals in front of it...so REALLY, I have one knob to turn.
The way the Volume knob is set to add gain and distortion as it's being turned up...it is easy (for me) to find a level I like, and leave that knob alone as well...and just go from clean to scream with the volume knob of my Strats....so virtually nothing to go back to the amp and adjust. Plug and play!

The 10" speaker is awesome, and can/does keep up with a drummer...and if I want a fuller sound with more bass, I can and will hook the amp to my 112 cabinet. I was absolutely surprised how much volume this 10 inch speaker can take and not fall apart.

So far; I can't find a reason to modify mine in any way...I like everything about it "as is"...tubes, speaker, even the low hiss/hum that this tube amp is known for---I don't mind, mine is barley noticeable and is really no different than my 99' Blues Junior. If I DID feel like a mod, I would have a stand-by switch put on, but I don't see that happening either. If any of the components of this amp should fail in the future, I would replace with what it came with.

We all know that one tends to favor the newest member of the instrument family for a good long while...but to be honest with you, I've no doubt that this Pro Junior is going to be my "go to" from here on out, because it's just so light and compact, but packs the punch that my other amps have AND is hassle free to play.

I am ecstatic to be part of the "Pro Junior Owners Club".

I am new to the club with Pro Junior IV :) great amp, I like it for its perfect clean and chimey sound, pedal friendly (I like it with TS-9). So far I keep Jensen P10R there, it sounds better than 12” Celestion Creamback in my extension cab.

Just spontaniously bought me new Fender Pro Junior IV when one of our local music stores shut down. I paid $350 for it and it was worth every $!
Going to keep it as it is. A Good complement amp amp side by side with my Fender ’57 Custom Deluxe.

I agree, it was a bargain! I really dig this amp so much... that my ’57 Custom Deluxe gets less playing time for the moment...

LOL! Yah; I ended up ignoring the rest of my amps for about six months after I first got my Pro Junior. Then I ABY'd my Blues Junior with it, and played through both. Then a few months after that a thread on either the Fuse forum or Super Champ X2 forum sparked my interest back into the SCX2 amp...so started playing through that one again. Then I bought a couple of Epiphone guitars (SG & Les Paul), so I had to try them through my Solid State amps as well as Tube, so those got back in rotation.
The Pro Junior is STILL my 'go-to' amp, and the first one to get turned on---but I also found reasons to play through all of them at some point in time. Honeymoon period on the Pro Junior ONLY, was a good 6 months before even considering one of the others. It's a great amp.
