@Grant_Ferstat 2 жыл бұрын
Good stuff Corey. With an unfamiliar amp I always tend to sweep the bass/mids /treble controls through to find the true mid point of the controls - where you hear things start to roll in. It often isn't the middle "number" on the control plate. I start from that true mid point and adjust the EQ from there.

Great video, I concur. I’ve had a blues jr since 2000 and have done all the tone stack mods. I’ve serviced and modded many of those amps for others as well. Getting it stock with the c-Rex speaker is a great option. Between you and Jeff McErlain, I added the OX to my gear too. It’s a great complement to my larger fenders and is great for keeping the peace with the blues jr. Thanks!

@@coreycongilio Thanks for your answer. Yes, I enjoyed your playing and sound a lot! Concerning the Blues Junior I would like to know, how the different speakers effect the sound? As far as I know there are Blues Juniors with Celestion, Jensen, Eminence Red White & Bluesspeakers, or like in this video, Eminence Cannabis Rex speakers. Did you play some of these? I personally play a Strat and prefer this dramatic Stevie Ray type of sound, with a lot of dynamics and dirt but also warmness. Your sound is so far the best I've heard with this little amp. Do you think the Cannabis speaker is an important part of this sound? Greetings , Chris

Great tips on cranking up the master instead of the volume. This way you get the gain (clipped signal) from the power tubes instead of the pre tubes. Cooked EL84 sounds great. I do the same with my cheap Bugera V22 which I gigged with for years - people think I use a boutique amp LOL...

Great video Corey thanks. I have a Mk 4 Blues Junior and I use my Strat and tele for gigs in pubs mainly. I usually have the volume set on 4 and then adjust the master but I can rarely get it above 5 or 6 before it becomes too loud. I get a night tone but I do have to use pedals to get the tones for the covers I play in my band. I think it is a great little amp for the money and it fits in the car easily and isn't too heavy and at my age, that is a plus.

The "green board" you mention is due to Fender finally using a slightly better quality P.C.B. with conformal coating. They, (Fender)at one time were really only using the ultimate CHEAP-ASS uncoated crap. I think they are using a "TOO LIGHT in the copper Dept." crap.

Corey I just purchased this amp new from Sweetwater a few months ago and I have an American pro 1 series i bought new in 2019 and I just 5 months ago bought new an American Performer series and the both Strats pair literally amazing with this amp. I can honesty through experience say to you and all your viewers that if you are thinking about buying this amp not to wait to long because you wont be sorry plus these beauties were made exclusive for Sweetwater. If and when they stop making them and you cant buy a brand new one you will have to settle on buying a used one. My point is i would think they would go way up in value and be worth a lot of money. I could be wrong but either way you will love this amp. Corey, nailed it making this video and everything he said and did with the amp is accurate, The sounds you hear I can literally get those tones with my Strats with just using the amp and no need to mic it up. I use a tube screamer TS9 and like he said and is exactly right the reverb is a little weak but nothing my Hall Of Fame 2 Mini cant handle and makes the reverb sound so sweet and amazing. People like i stated dont wait just pull the trigger and buy this amp it will blow you away. And the power is unreal delivering such a great speaker breakup when needed....And Corey btw you are a superb player,, Damn you can play and play from the heart...

@seanconnorguitar5972 2 жыл бұрын
Very helpful video Cory! I have a Blues Junior and I’m planning to get another to run them stereo, 2 different speakers of course. Question though, in my band I need to nice balanced rhythm sound but when solo time comes I need a pretty big jump in volume. I use a a TC Spark Mini at the end of my chain for this. When you run the master so high, is the headroom there for a volume boost or does the amp just overdrive more? 👍🎸

@CrazyCalabrese78 2 жыл бұрын
Great video Corey. A couple of things: 1) Mine didn’t come with a pedal for the fat switch. Is that a Sweetwater “sweetener”? 2) I too find the amp has max headroom with the master wide open but when the preamp volume is at bedroom volume like that, the touch responsiveness can actually be too spiky. I think the pedal show explained it well recently. There’s too much dynamics available and without any compression from the amp or a pedal it can be tricky if you’re trying to keep the volume down at home. The amp sounds great when you have a more balanced setup between the two volumes and it has the edge of breakup tone as there’s just a bit of compression kicking in. 3) I agree re the preamp volume - once you get past 7-8 it starts to lose all clarity. The same with the bass knob - i like it around 3-4 with humbuckers so you’re not driving the amp as hard and making the bottom end flab out. 4) I have a humbucker guitar (Ibanez JS) that can split to single coils but that Les Paul sounded killer. I think these amps sound best when you don’t drive them too hot and put them on the edge where you can dig in to make them sing or ease off to sound cleanish. 5) what pedals might you run into the amp with the edge of breakup tone you had. The 10 and 2 setting. I’m guessing you meant clock and not numbers on the amp dials? Cheers man!

Not sure about the pedal being a Sweetwater exclusive. If all blues jrs have a jack for it, any single button footswitch will do. I'll be doing some overdrive videos soon!
