Amp Auction: Fender Hot Rod Series Blues Junior NOS

Amp Auction Description: This is a standard Fender Hot Rod Series Blues Junior NOS with the BillM mods listed below Basic kit, cream board: Everything you need to eliminate that boxy sound, take the harsh edge off the distortion tones, add back the "missing" lowest octave of bass and sweeten the clean tones: Orange drop tone stack and coupling capacitors, adjustable bias trimpot, power supply stiffening capacitor, even a #55 high speed steel drill for a professional job installing the adjustable bias and power supply stiffening cap. (It's just a couple of small holes; a fresh, sharp drill makes it easy.) The adjustable bias is a high-rel, precision, sealed, 25-turn trimpot for setting your bias accurately. The power supply stiffening capacitor doubles the size of the main filter stage, halves the ripple going to the output tubes, and provides solid bass tones that you'll notice right away.TwinStack mod greatly improves tone stack flexibility. This has been getting rave reviews on the Fender Discussion Pages: The TwinStack Page. I recommend that you do this as part of the basic mods, as I do when I mod Blues Juniors. Just use a scrap of wire!Presence control: The presence control affects mid-high frequencies and gives the amp more (or less) bite, as shown here: The Presence Control page. It uses Mogami low-noise coaxial cable to connect to the circuit board and requires that you drill a 9/32" (7mm) hole in the face panel below the Fat switch. Despite the drilling, I highly recommend this mod"it will give you outstanding control over the amp's aggressiveness, going from hard-edged to mellow. The control has a built-in pull-up switch for the optional Clean Boost.The clean boost module: $45This is a one-inch square board that connects to your circuit board (held by one of the mounting screws) and connects to the circuit board in three places. All connections are from the top of the board; no need to remove it. It gives approximately the same increase in volume as the Fat switch, but without the increase in bass. It makes clean or distorted tones louder, and when used in conjunction with the Fat switch is about twice as loud. It does not increase distortion. It is usually controlled from the pull-up switch built into the presence control, or, if you wish, on its own footswitch. Standby Switch By popular demand! This kit replaces your power switch with a heavy-duty Carling progressive switch. It has three positions: off, standby, on. The kit is plug-and-play; no soldering or cutting of wires. Aside from this it is a standard Blues Jr tweed (which is a kill amp to beging with) The Blues Jr. pushed through a 12" Jensen speaker.The Blues Jr. NOS takes Fender's 15W gem and gives it the true vintage treatment with lacquered tweed covering and a vintage-style 12" Jensen speaker. Its power is generated by an all-tube signal path using a pair of EL84 Groove Tube output tubes and 3 - 12AX7 preamp tubes. Add renowned Fender reverb, flexible controls, and FAT circuit with footswitch for golden tones, and you're in business. And just look at that chrome panel, that lacquer tweed finish with pinstripe grille cloth, and those vintage pointer knobs . . .Fender Hot Rod Series Blues Junior NOS 15W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Features:Series: Hot Rod Series Type: All Tube Output: 15 watts into 8 ohms Ohms: 8 ohms Speakers: 1-12" Jensen C12-N 8ohm, 50 watt Speaker, p/n 0868508004 Channels: 1 Channel Features: "Fat" Switch, Reverb, Footswitch Jack for Remote "Fat" on/off, Chrome Panel, Vintage Pointer Knobs, Controls, Reverb, Master, Middle, Bass, Treble, "Fat" Switch, Volume, Covering, Lacquer Tweed finish with Pinstripe Grille Cloth Weight: 31 lbs.
