So, I was on the lookout for a small, simple, low-cost combo and this little thing popped up in the classifieds...On paper, it looked as though it would fit the bill so I took a punt....I'm pleasantly surprised! It packs a lot of volume and punch in a small package and I love the simplicity of a volume and tone control. It's going to be a little while yet before I can get somewhere where I can turn it up but I've already tried hooking it up to different cabs - running it through an oversized 1x12 MJW cab with an Eminence Cannabis Rex sounded terrific, even at low volume. From reading up on the Pro Junior, there are some reports that they hiss and hum but this example doesn't seem to exhibit that - maybe a little when its turned right up but no more than my Mesa amps. Maybe Fender have refined things on the MkIV? At home volumes, it's strictly clean - by the time it starts to border on overdrive, it's WAY too loud for home. A Nobels ODR mini sounds lovely into it for some grit at bedroom-friendly volume.I can see why these little Pro Juniors have the following that they do and it's a nice addition to the collection. Cheers

hope you're very happy together.
When you've gotten used to it you really should try it through something like a 1x12 or larger cab, its a great sound!
They're awesome through a Marshall 2x12.
I'm really enjoying it despite not being able to turn it up past 3 on the volume.
It takes pedals well and I'm looking forward to being able to get it into breakup territory once i get the chance. That said, I imagine it's going to be quite loud by the time it breaks up with single coils.
It was never on my radar previously but I'm very pleased to have discovered it.
