Controls are still in the wrong place. Hard pass for me.
I had fun with someone else's stereo Pro Jr setup one night. Still no interest in buying one though.
What do you mean that the controls are in the wrong place? Are you talking the Middle knob before the Bass? Or on the top of the amp instead of in front? Just curious. The controls were a bit of an odd one for me to get used to on the BJ 3, but I got used to them pretty quick. I find it gives it a quirky kinda of Mojo for some reason.
Re: the BJ 4, I've been checking out a number of the videos lately on them as well. Quite a different sound to them than the BJ3....hard it described as more of a Marshally or darker tone than a typical Fender amp. I only have limited experience with the Fender line, but I'm an old "Marshall rules/Fender Drools" type who's bought in 100% to the sweet power tube sound of an opened up Fender amplifier now. The Blues Junior tweed I have haws become my favorite amp for certain songs, tones, and moods for me. Go to amp for anything Blues related.
Of course the over rated (for the amp, not the speaker) Celestion G12T - 75 I stuck in doesn't hurt the situation any.
EDIT: Thanks for the video
@knight_yyz . Good timing. I think that 's one of the reviews I watched as well. One thing I didn't like about the video is they pretty much stuck the friggin Pre amp section on high gain (9 - 12) and didn't crank the Power tubes with the Master and lower the Pre amp section. That's where the good sound lies IMO.
