Blues jr IV for dirty tones and the Tweed for clean tones 👍 All depending on the different speakers.
Thanks for the comparison. It’s obvious that a lot of time went in to making this video and it really helped in making my decision. I’m going with the tweed! 🤘🏻
Me too!
Fantastic!! Great playing and tones. Really like the heads up on settings.
AWESOME video! Thank you for helping me decide.
Great video - I'm looking at buying a blues junior & your vid really helped - must have taken ages to put it together - wow
What a brilliant demonstration. Well done. I was with the tweed (IV) until the rocky tones came on. Now I vote for the black one (III). Thank you.
You are backwards
Nice demo! Well recorded and filmed! I was really doubting wich one to buy. Play allready trough a deville. My back is asking for something much lighter. It's gonna be the tweed for me. I'm curious how it will respond on drive/didtortion pedals. Anyone?
The IV sounds a hair better/more detailed but everyone is going to choose
the tweed 'cause it looks cooler 😁
I tried both side by side on the store looking for the best sounding, not care about the tweed actually I don’t like it, was all about sound and the tweed sound radically different, way brighter and more detailed and articulate and the reverb was way more intense and deep, the new IV black I contrast was muddier drier sound and the reverb was very weak, I was looking for the new IV black one but came back with the tweed, after research I found significant differences, the new IV black take the reverb from a previous stage in the circuit and is now cathode bias on the cold side, few more not really significant differences like resonance circuit on the feedback and new output transformer and the A type make the amp fuller colder sterile sound but bassier and bolder, I end up implementing some changes of the IV to the tweed like the A type that tame the ice pick of the Jensen and implement the resonance circuit and I’m very happy with the improve bass response and warmer tone, so a mix of both was great but the IV is very dull
The Tweed with an Eminence Texas Heat speaker kills them all!
Very cool video!!!
I went with the tweed, but mainly because it looks better!
I have both the tweed and the Western. They both are very nice amps
nice one, great idea - I bought the tweed...
Me too
I prefer sound of the IV, but would love it in normal non laquered tweed.
Fender really needs to improve their product naming and numbering system. I just bought regard commonly known as a Blues Junior III. But the back plate says only Blues Junior and "Type PR-295" while the owners manual says Blues Junior LTD and it also says Tweed somewhere. But nowhere does it says III. It's the yellowish tweed covered blues junior with the black knobs in the order of reverb, master, middle, bass, treble, volume.
THE TWEED FOR ME WHICH I OWN 👍👍🔥🔥🎸🎸🦅
very nice...tweed but not by much seems the tweed has a beautiful reverb sound
To me the IV sounds a tiny bit more fuller and crisper but jeez the tweed looks lovely 😂 is the reverb higher on the tweed cause it sounds like it rings out more 🤔 hopefully buy myself one of these by the end of the year as an upgrade to my current amp 😁
Now have the tweed version and can confirm that it sounds and plays like a dream 😁
The tweed can be muddy. It’s the way he had the eq dialed in. I have a tweed and mine isn’t muddy even with with an overdrive pedal going
@@gavincummings209 I use a couple overdrives with mine also sounds great! 👍 still trying to find a good distortion pedal for it as I use a RAT and it’s a bit much
I tried both of these and decided to buy the Vox AC15 😂. Between these two though I would have gone tweed.
Yep - every time :)
Well-filmed. Thank you for doing this. To me, the Blackface seems to have more articulation / separation of tones. The Tweed sounds a little 'muddy' at times. It is a pity that I prefer the look of the tweed.
Get a limited edition IV, they come in cool colours and have various different speaker options. I was set on the tweed for the looks alone too, but went Graffiti Yellow LTD for the Swamp Thang speaker - and the looks!
Thumbs up for playing Brad Paisley in the beginning!
Man I can't wait to get my junior I already bought a cannabis Rex speaker to try in it and an extra fender FM 212 speaker try in it
Did you end up getting your jr? I have the tweed, Iove it!
The song that starts at 1:12 is amazing. If it's a cover, would you mind sharing the title? If it's your own, congrats. The whole demo sounds great.
Django reinhardt maybe?
/ A , G# , A , B /
Then up minor 3rd's up an octave to A.
It's diminished.
Play all on G string.
Sounds like Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Need cleans, so Tweed easy.....however, I wonder why you recorded the Tweed with so much reverb, and the Black pretty dry ??
Hey Pete, thanks for watching! We recorded the amps using the same settings in each instance. You can check the different settings in the description. But in essence, we didn't intentionally record the tweed with more reverb, it just had more reverb at the same 'setting' so to speak. Thanks, WOM
It’s odd you and your twin dress the same and have the same color guitars. At least you guys got different color guitar amps haha.
When the reverb was on 4.5, the tweed had more reverb than the blackface. On 3 it was the same. Could not tell much difference then. Bought the blackface. I've already had a tweed. Good amps to mod too.
Take the reverb out of the tweed, then compare.

This should be standard in A/B comparisons.
Thank you! More comparisons coming soon!
The black IV for me... sounds better...
I agree. I think the tweed jenson speaker needs break in time.
The guy on the right is better player.
Crap. I was hoping this was a video showing the original blues Junior vs the lacquer tweed. I’m looking at buying a used blues Junior from a guy for a great price. I really want the lacquer tweed but I’ll take the original if it sounds right. I just don’t wanna pass the price up. $275. Tough decision. My heart tells me to just get the correct amp. Spend the extra money and get the amp I truly want, because I know it’ll always be in the back of my mind until I finally buy it. But at $275, that blues junior is a good price and I can always use it for lots of little projects. A little experiment platform amp. And it’ll be a great first tube amp for me. It’s hard to beat a fender tube amp for $275
the guy with the beard plays funny
I think the blues Junior sounded better
🤣
I'm so sick of seeing guys w/teles but with a dang humbucker. What's wrong with a stock normal tele p/u set?
versatility
Just me, but a tele with humbuckers just isn't a tele anymore. If I want humbuckers then I pick up my PRS.
@@davidbarlow431
Same here. Humbuckers for me is PRS all day.
I will say though... A Tele with P90's is pretty sweet.
