Nice Fender clean sound at low price
I really love this amp. I have it near my coding desk. When I get bored, I turn it on an play for a while. It has a really nice fenderish clean and nice breakup at low volumes cause it has a master volume. I use it also in a light rock/rap band rehearsals where is no need for big volumes. It is lightweight against my other amps.
The bad thing is the handle, it is in leather I think, but with very very sharp edges. I always say I will smooth those edges but never do. Also some tubes broke at start (few hours of use). Send it back to Thomann and they repaired it fast. It works since then just fine. I have to mention, that I buy stuff from Thomann also because it is never the issue with repair. And yes, I am very careful with my gear.

Sweat cleans are made of this
An amazing amp but not on bedroom level. You'll definitely need a good attenuator to crank it up.

Best bang for buck
I think Blues Junior is one of the best bang for buck tube amps. For small gigs it is effective enough. When cranked up to where it's just starting to break up nicely, it is a lovely '50s Fender sound, which i prefer over the stock version. It is also good at apartment volume levels, but you will want to crank it up for better sound. Carrying is easy since it is about 14 kg. Tweed cover looks very nice. Overall, it is a very good choice for both gigging musicians and bedroom players.

Good all-rounder for medium sized gigs and home use
I mainly use the Fender Blues Jr. for the casual blues session in town and to ocassional home noodlig. Both situations are competently covered by this amp.
This piece can be extremely loud, therefore I would not recommend this as a home-practice amp. Even in live situations attention should be payed to the amount of volume.
The sound in live situations is reasonable; it has a built-in reverb effect which sounds good to me. Overdriven sounds can be achieved at the right amount of gain. People say it is a good "pedal platform", I honestly do not use or own many pedal effects; I just push the gain with a BOSS Blues-Breaker and that is sufficient for me.
The amp looks beautiful its yellow tweed skin.
The amp has one channel (with a "fat" button), does not have a foot-switch and the markings of knobs are somehow hard to read.
All in all a good and versatile amplifyer.

The perfect entry into Tube Fender Amps
For a good price, you get a real fender amp. Looks like one too.
It sounds like you expect, it can get loud enough for any small venue (and then some) and you can make it quiet enough to play at home at almost any time.
It's a great pedal platform also.
The spring reverb sounds really good and the controls are easy to use so you can get the sound you want easily.
I won't give 5 stars on everything because the knobs are not the best quality and i had to open mine to tighten up some screws that were making noise (altho it was after traveling a lot with the amp so it can be normal).
Overall I think this is an investment that can make you happy for years, looks beautiful at any stage or room and you will never wish it was louder.

Fender blues
I got the Fender Blues Junior in Lacquered Tweed. This thing is beautiful and simple to use. I've owned the Fender Pro Junior and the Blues Deluxe in the past and regret having sold both. This amp is perfect! Don't let the size, and fact that its a 15 watt amp fool you. This is a serious amplifier with everything you need and nothing you don't. This amp is perfect for use in your practice space or for smaller venues. I prefer this amp over both the Pro Junior and Blues Deluxe I've owned. Those were great amps, but this on has the best elements of both of those in a nice small package. It doesn't have an effects loop like the Blues Deluxe. I'm not big on effects, so it's not missed. It handles pedal very well. I use a Proco Rat2, and an Electro-Harmonix Nano Muff overdrive for a solo boost. This is without a doubt the best amp I've ever owned. The 40 watt Blues Deluxe was a little too big for me. This is just right!

Great amp for the money
I bought this amp mainly for playing at home and small venues and it is all you could ask for. It works well at low volume to play at home and it is insanely good when you crank it up.
I find it very versatile and sounds good with or without pedals. I'd say it will suit you regardless of the genre(s) you want to play.
Pros: great classic Fender sound, beautifully made.
Cons: Quite heavy, although this is normal among this kind of amps.

Well Good!!
Sold my English made Vox AC30 and bought this! Best decision I ever made. Why anybody bothers with big amps anymore is beyond me...

Just amazing Sounds - A bit heavy
Incredible amp with a really bluesy and warm tone - the reverb is very working well and the crunch as well with an additional foot switch - Use also easy as I turn it on and off often and the tubes are cooling up or down very quickly - Only bad side for me is that for this category of size it is style heavy when you have to carry it without a car or with substantial amount of stairs to reach your apartment. - Except this you can go for it it is an amazing amp!!!
