Three decades down the line, Fender’s Blues Junior stands as one of the most recorded and gigged amp combos in guitar history. The Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary pays tribute to that legacy and also injects a few modern-minded modifications. It all starts with a time-tested Blues Junior foundation of two EL84 power tubes and a trio of 12AX7s, resulting in 15 watts of rich, dynamic, and expressive tube amplifier tone. Moreover, the Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary’s preamp circuit slightly deviates from standard specs to provide a richer response overall. A simple yet efficient control configuration grants you plenty of power to sculpt your sound, with a 3-band EQ, “Fat” switch for enhanced girth, and Volume/Master controls to capture valve breakup at any volume level. Naturally, the Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary comes equipped with the true spring reverb section of its predecessors, only modified with a slightly smoother sound. A top-class Celestion G12-M 65 Creamback speaker and exquisite Black Western covering top it all off. Compact, versatile, and crammed with harmonic-rich tube tone, there’s no question that the Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary will continue to rock stages and studios around the world for another three decades.

Three decades of stage-proven sound

The Fender Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary and its countless siblings continue Fender’s long-standing legacy of compact, stage-ready combo amplifiers. This tradition stretches back to Leo Fender’s earliest amplifier creations, which included iconic models like the Champ, Princeton, Deluxe, and Deluxe Reverb, among others. However, scores of Music Experience guitarists champion the Blues Junior’s dual EL84 power tube setup. This key facet delivers a tonal experience totally distinct from any typical 6L6-loaded Fender amp; indeed the Blues Junior boasts a unique voice all its own. Topped off with a 12-inch Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speaker, the Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary is a truly genre-defying amplifier, tackling classic country cleans, dynamic edge-of-breakup tones, roaring rock tones, and (of course) blues tones across the board without breaking a sweat.

Packed with player-friendly upgrades

First and foremost, the Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary is a celebration of Fender’s classic 15-watt combo. Yet, Fender also took the time to update this amp with a selection of much-welcomed modifications! Most notably, the Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary sports a revoiced preamp circuit, resulting in fuller response across the board. Fender also opted to revamp this combo’s true spring reverb tank circuit for a slightly smoother character. These changes — in conjunction with over three decades of standard Blues Junior specs — result in an amp that’s both true to the Blues Junior’s lauded legacy and a testament to Fender’s ceaseless dedication to refining and enhancing their products.

Laden with limited-edition aesthetic upgrades

Right out of the gate, the Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary’s beautiful Black Western covering grabs your attention with its traditional tooled leather-inspired aesthetics. It’s an alluring upgrade that lends this amp a more elegant (and extravagant) edge, and it pairs perfectly with the amp’s vintage Bassman-style grille cloth and leather handle. Did we mention the very lightly aged silver grille cloth? Whether you’re a die-hard Fender collector or simply after a compact combo to stand apart from the pack, Fender’s Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary fits the bill.
