I chose this blues junior over the black one because I fell in love with the tweed finish. I'm very pleased with the product and the fast shipping. I bought this because I wanted a small tube amp to play with in my garage. Even though it's only a 15 watt combo, it's surprisingly loud. I have to play on low volumes to avoid getting noise complaints. The sound is very bright and pleasantly clean. The stock Jensen speaker was nice, but I ended up switching it to a Cannabis Rex to get a little more low end. I wish there was a separate channel for dirt, but the fat switch functions as a good substitute. I've had it for about 2 months now and the amp has shown no flaws or malfunctions.
I recommend the amp for people who are looking to buy their first tube amp as well as for more seasoned players. I use the amp for blues and blues rock and it sound great.
