Fender Blues Junior valve amplifier, 15W, 12" Eminence speaker, 2x Groove Tubes EL-84 power valves, 3x SOVTEK 12AX7WC preamp valves, with Ruby RRVS3EB2C1B reverb tank (fitted), as well as stock Accutronics 8EB2C1B reverb tank (see photo). The amp also has a connection for an external speaker inside the cabinet, next to the speaker. The amp was manufactured circa 2009, I can't be certain because Fender didn't print dates on any post-2003 Blues Juniors, but the Eminence speaker was manufactured in 2009 so the amp was probably made the same year, or thereabouts. A monstrous-sounding amp for its size, this thing delivers crisp cleans, to crunch and gritty overdrive, perfect for blues and jazz playing. The valves all work great and, to my ears, don't need replacing. It's a perfect practice amp, but it's loud enough to hold its own on-stage. The amp is in excellent condition with practically no noticeable damage. As mentioned above, two reverb tanks are included, currently installed is the Ruby RRVS3EB2C1B which has a darker, less "springy" sound with a longer tail, but also included is the stock Accutronics 8EB2C1B, which personally I prefer as it is brighter, shorter, and I love the more emphasised spring sound. You can connect it without unscrewing the Ruby tank, leaving the springs exposed to poke and prod and shake for 1960s sci-fi read more
