This is the 1000th Billm-modded Blues Junior.
New! I finally added some sound files so you can hear what it sounds like.
Or as close as I can figure, given the number of components I’ve ordered over the years, shipping records, etc.
I decided to pull out all the stops on this one. I started with a basic black Blues Junior, the perfect platform for a stealth amp that can blow away some much more expensive hardware.
With 5881s, it puts out 25 watts and sounds awesome!
