I am debating between this and a Fender Mustang IV. Which one do you guys think is the better amp? I play mostly blues/rock now, and I'm a bedroom player, but might do some small gigs in the future. I play through a G-Dec Jr. now, so anything is better than that lol. Thanks
@MTLguitarist98 Since I spend most of my time in the bedroom, I can't boost the amp to be THAT loud. So what I do, is put the Master Volume at around 1 or 2, then boost the Volume to 10-12, it gets real dirty then, so yeah, You can lower the master volume.
@MrStoryoftheyear Play them both with your own guitar, don't trust internet strangers! I went with the AC15 (tremolo junkie here) but I'll probably get a Blues Jr too down the road and do a stereo setup.
Wakin up feelin good and limber When the telephone it ring Was a bad man from california Tellin of a stone he'd bring And of better days From this town, we'd escape If we holler loud and make our way We'd all live one big holiday So we listened and up the river And recorded all the sounds Was some shakin and some record playin All the leather kids were loud
Especially love it through the Telecaster. Which Tele was that, Andy? It's probably in one of the posts, but I'm too lazy to scroll through all of them.
Now a Les Paul through this amp please! I had one of these speakers in my amp at a show. I held a feedback not so long the cone started to smoke...the crowd was mellowed out.
Andy you should have played the Hot Rod Tele and Strat with the Hot Rod Blues Junior. Just a thought, but I really like the sound of this amp. The Cannabis Rex is probably Eminence's best speaker. -PK
This is the coolest concept for any amp I have ever seen. What other product in the world pays homage to the emerald triangle and everything it stands for?
Also one thing I think would look great is to switch the standard red crystal standby light with a green one! I know if I can sell my current amp I plan on getting one of these, and that'll be the first thing I do! (well besides play it)
Sounds from the description like it be like a Bassman on the normal channel cranked but obviously without the volume and weight. Am I in the ball park?
@weiserec66 Just got one of these today. I don't know about the bassman, but I have a deville 410 and as you would expect, it has more bottom end than the jr, giving it a fuller clean sound, but when it comes to overdrive, this amp rules!
I bought a fender hotrod amp just a couple weeks ago for $600 at guitar center, I love it (because i spent 600fuckingdollarsonit), But now I feel bad, because I see this amazing amp I could've had. PLEASE DON'T HATE ME ANDY. ;-;
damn, andy, this is you at your best as a player in the PGS videos anyway. you can really tear up the old school blues or whatever you call that style
Wow... only $29 more than a standard Blues Jr. III? These things are going to be worth a lot when they're sold out! oops... I shouldn't tell anyone ;)
You guys should look at some Hughes & Kettner amps, they make amazing quality stuff, probably one of the best tube amps on the market in my opinion, especially their 'triamp'.
Andy should do an ABCD comparison with different versions of the Blues JR. with the same axe and riffs to show the differences in speakers tubes, ect.
so.... Is it "Humboldt" Hot Rod as in Humboldt County, California as in weed as in hemp cone speaker? haha...you guys must have had a nice "session" with the guys at Fender when you were discussing amp names. Maybe you shoulda called it the Kush Custom Hot Rod
Ok around 2:48 or so, I a hear a sound like a digital watch alarm!? Is this a mistake, or are you guys just trying to make me lose my mind? lol Oh, by the way, great playing! The amp is pretty sweet, too! :)
with cannabis/hemp being the main "ingredient" here was it cheaper to produce or is the gimmick of cannabis make the price tag higher?
I recall reading that hemp was suppose to take over paper as a cheaper and more effective alternative means, so seeing it used in an amp makes me wonder if it is a much more effective product than other stuff.
@ODSTAce Hemp is stronger than paper and enabled them to use a thinner, lighter cone. Resulting in a more touch responsive speaker. The speaker and tube upgrade results in a $29 upcharge.
