Blues Junior IV : Great for "quiet" gigging and you living room

- Responsive and clear sounding.

- Handles pedals well.

- Beautiful edge of breakup tone.

- Plenty loud enough for studio, small acoustic/jazz gigs and living room.

Would absolutely recommend as an affordable, very well-sounding small amp. To my ear it does not sound boxy or small. I am playing an ES335-style guitar with humbuckers.

The spring reverb is good but pretty "springy" to my ear. If spring reverb is your thing it's great. I use a reverb pedal that fits my reverb taste more.

I do not use the Fat switch, but control the fatness/sound of the amp via the volume on my guitar. There are no indication on the foot switch or on the amp whether or not the Fat-switch is on other than the fat switch itself and of course the sound. I'd maybe use it if I could see whether it was on or off on the foot switch.
