The iconic Fender Blues Junior celebrates three decades with a special edition model packed with enhanced features and vintage aesthetics.
Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary
Fender has officially unveiled the Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary amplifier, a limited-edition tribute to one of the most beloved and widely used guitar amplifiers in history.
This new model commemorates 30 years of the Blues Junior serving as a reliable workhorse for musicians across all genres, from intimate stages to global tours.
Powered by two EL84 power tubes and a trio of 12AX7s, resulting in 15 watts of rich, dynamic, and expressive tube amplifier tone.
A Modern Classic Reimagined
The Fender Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary maintains the cherished 15-watt tube platform that has made its predecessors a go-to for countless players.
However, this special edition introduces several key modifications and premium components designed to elevate its performance and aesthetic appeal.
Enhanced Tone and Performance
At the heart of the anniversary model’s sonic improvements are its modified preamp circuitry and a modified spring reverb.
The preamp has been tweaked to offer greater tonal definition and clarity, ensuring your sound remains articulate even when pushing the amplifier into rich overdrive. The spring reverb, a signature of the Blues Junior, has been refined for an even smoother, more lush sound that beautifully fills any room.
Further enhancing its tonal versatility, the amplifier is equipped with a Celestion G12M-65 Creamback speaker. This highly respected 12-inch speaker is renowned for its warm, articulate cleans and its ability to deliver a satisfying midrange growl when cranked.
Its ample power handling also keeps the low end tight, making it an ideal partner for your pedalboard.
Vintage Style with Modern Flair
Beyond its sonic enhancements, the Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary boasts a striking visual package.
It features a distinctive commemorative Black Western covering paired with a classic vintage Bassman grille cloth, offering a look that is both subtle and undeniably eye-catching.
The chrome control panel, featuring black chicken-head style pointer knobs, adds to its retro charm. At the same time, the vintage leather strap handle harks back to Fender’s early amplifier designs, providing both elegance and robust durability.
Collectible and Authentic
As a limited-edition release, each Fender Blues Junior IV 30th Anniversary amplifier comes with a special 30th-anniversary badge prominently displayed and a certificate of authenticity.
This makes the amplifier not just a powerful tool for musicians, but also a highly collectible piece of Fender history.
