These arrived a few days ago in the shop, and after hearing how they sounded I knew I was going to get one. My first tube amp, it's the current limited edition blues junior blonde top 8) Very sweet and dynamic tube amp.
Here's what she looks like:

If you care to tinker, don't forget about those Bilm mods.

Actually the Blues Jr III doesn't need the mods.

They actually sound great right out of the box! 8)

Thanks guys! I love the way she sounds stock so I might do the transformer mod to upgrade it to 30 watts if anything.
I forgot to mention that this comes with a Celstion vintage 30, which makes it sound a little sweeter than the stock version which sounds great on its own :wink:

I ordered one of these after reading about how big of an improvement they are over the stock reverb tanks that come with the amp:
http://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/ ... OD-8EB2C1B

If you have a blues jr this swap is pretty simple, as long as you have a socket wrench and a phillips bit(speaker blocks access to one screw otherwise)

The reverb for the amp sounds overall better, and is much more useful across the range of the knob. Great mod and gives you a lot more useability over the reverb 8)
