it's a 150 mi round trip to "test drive" this amp, so i'm asking here 1st before I waste a trip.
I see the B'Jr is set up with a Master pot, now is this a true "preamp Volume/Master Volume" setup like amps from the "glory days" had, or are they just substituting the term "Master" for "Gain"?

My old '71 Univox Stack had Volume knobs that regulated how hot the preamp tubes burned, and a Master knob that regulated how much sound went to the speakers.
i LOVED this setup !!
Is this what the Blues Jr's Master does?

Thanks in advance for any input you can render.

+1 howardken52,

The III is the same as the II and I in this respect, and the volume and master work just as you and the OP have described. :idea:

Let me just add that the master volume on the Blues Jr works just as advertised, controls output level after you dial in your gain with the channel volume knob. A far cry from the lousy-sounding master volume of the Silverface amps.
