Close. This is my favorite little combo amp. The best thing you can do for this amp is yank out the sock speaker try and find a Celestion Vintage 10. That speaker just sounds amazing in the Pro Jr. If you can't find one of those, call up Weber - they have a few that fit the bill nicely. I'm hearing good things about the Eminence Red Coats as well.

This one has a Blue frame speaker in it and it sounds fine to me.

Tim I think the tweed ones have different speakers than the black ones do...the beat up, relic'd ones have a different speaker too.

If it's super low gain then it's class A.

I'd heard some models had better speakers - I thought it was the Woody's.

Oh come on, a sock speaker?!?!? YOU don't know what a sock speaker is?!?!?!? Sheesh. I thought you knew something about gear. EVERYONE knows what a sock speaker is. I think it's time for you to get back to basics. I'm done with this. Can someone explain to Sam what a sock speaker is - I don't have time to go on and on about this sort of thing. I really have other important things to do.

Umm, no. Twisteramps or someone else can explain this correctly I'm sure but I know that class A vs. class A/B has to do with whether or not the power runs continuous (A) or cycles on and off (A/B). There are plenty of low gain A/B amps and I've heard some smokin' class A's. Although I believe most of the higher output and insane gain amps are A/B.

Re: tweed fender pro junior

thats how I understand it Tim and I'm far from what other amp folk around here know on this topic. on A Class, the tubes are "in use" whether you play a note or not and A/B Class they are only "in use" when you play a note. They aren't efficient on terms of tube life but they sound damn great when they heat up [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Some amps have the option to run either or. VHT has the A or A/B switch and its an option on some Bogners.
