I think a basic rule while playing a blues junior, escpeially tweed, is to scoop the mids (like at 2). It really opens up and sounds less boxy. At least for me

To’ work the amp in its sweet spot you’ve got to crank both the pre- and the power amp to 12, switch off the fat-switch and turn down the mids to 2-3 maximum and work the rest with your guitar volume/tone knobs. And yes, it’s insanely loud, like all fender amps.

Hi John, I have just discovered your channel and am amazed at the range of information that you cover. I have almost viewed everyone of your videos in a single day. I am hoping you can share some gems on the problem I have in finding a good blues setting on my guitar & amp. I am in my mid 70's and want to play a bit of blues to satisfy myself. I like a nice smooth creamy tone for blues (Always difficult to describe) with a bit bite when played hard. I have a 1980's MIJ Strat and a 2017 Strat American Pro. My amp is a fully loaded Lazy J J10 amp with spring reverb. Any suggestions on what I should do to get a good tone?
@crossroadbluessecrets2 ай бұрын
Hi 👋 so sorry I didn’t know your name! But thanks so much for watching! that’s very kind. You must be sick of me by now, I would be! You have a lovely amp, I also like a creamy tone, you know I must say I find those type of tones easy to get through modlers and plug -ins but quite hard to recreate in the real world through an amp. Is there anyone you like that has the tone you like? That way you can see what gear they are using. For a creamy sound the Wampler gearbox pedal is lovely. Those tones are sometimes using two distortion pedals stacked.
@deltablues81412 ай бұрын
Hi John, thank you for your reply to my post. Apology I should have added my name which is Gerry. I should also have added that I have a G2D Cream-Tone pedal, along with a 1980’ original Ibanez SD9 which I never use. I like clean smooth tones with a bit of grit when picked hard. Robert Cray type tones as well as your tone at 8.22 mins

@crossroadbluessecrets2 ай бұрын

@moreorlesslikeso2 ай бұрын
You possibly should have said something about the overall volume in the room which these settings produce - with that sort of Hendrixy first sound you had the Master on 11 and Volume (which is sort of "Pre") on 8. I'm actually pretty confident my bandmates would consider killing me if I cranked my BJ to these settings in our rehearsal room... That being said I do think resp. even positively now that cranking the Blues Junior’s Master to somewhere between 10 and 12 is a good way to go get the amp to respond really dynamically to the pick an to get a really "solid" tone (even if that means you have to set the normal Volume/Pre to just 3 or 4 to avoid being too loud for your bandmates wellbeing). However, you'll then have to use some overdrive or distortion pedal for a certain amount of grid. But that's not bad either, as you can easily dial in the right - possibly not that much - amount of overdrive on the pedal without affecting the overall loudness so much. If you listen closely to many Blues guys who have a seemingly "hefty" tone, you may find that they actually don't have THAT much distortion and compression at all. There is a certain solidness of tone that springs very much rom driving the power tubes sufficiently (i.e. setting the Master high enough).
@crossroadbluessecrets2 ай бұрын
Thanks so much for writing. Yes sorry, volume in the room was zero because this was recorded through the ox box no effects added through that though just the cab and room mics. I did do this without the ox box and in a tiny room it was too loud so I had to put it outside in a different room. Another good thing to make the tone bigger is to get a fuzz and turn the volume on guitar down.
