They looked and sounded like any other Russian EL84. One of the amps I modified recently came in with Gold Lions. They looked and sounded like any other Russian EL84.

Just looking through the mods you offer for the blues junior! Excellent! I was just wondering with this particular one whether I have to have the prescence control mod, in order to put the clean boost module in? - I intend to use a two button footswitch to toggle between the fat/clean boost via the stereo jack kit. Best regards, Sammy Hey Bill!

]]> Comment on The Right Speaker for your Blues Junior by David G http://billmaudio.com/wp/?page_id=295&cpage=2#comment-13225 David G Wed, 08 Sep 2010 17:13:54 +0000 http://billmaudio.com/wp/?page_id=295#comment-13225 Bill, Your updated comment on the stock speaker sounding better with more power does not surprise me. That speaker sounds quite good in a Blues Deluxe - and I think it improves after break-in as well. I wonder at times if a stock BJR can really exercise that speaker, (like a 40 watt amp can), to get it really broke in. I know mine definitely got better after an extended, full volume jam with about 10 other guitarists, (when I first got the amp). Bill,

If you have no experience soldering on printed circuit boards, I recommend getting help from someone who does.

I would not recommend trying to install a tube rectifier. The BJr has plenty of breakup and touch-sensitivity, especially in modded form. The Blues Junior is what it is.

Is it worth investing in if you are trying to get that clean vintage sound from a B Jr? If so what tube do you recommend? Thanks again Hi Bill:
