The Fender Blues Junior uses two EL84 output tubes which are fixed biased as opposed to cathode biased. After about a half hour of 'tube tasting' some 12AX7's I did end up trying a few different matched EL84 to see if any noticeable change occurred but I wasn't ready to give up on the pair of RCA EL84's that were in the amp when I bought it. The Blues Junior is a tube guitar amplifier introduced in 1990 by the Fender Musical Instrument Corporation.It is aimed at achieving the warm, tube-driven tone common in many styles of American blues and blues rock dating back to the 1950s, while remaining both portable and affordable. Fender frequently releases limited editions of the Blues Junior.

This mod fixes that to produce that lush classic reverb tone that made Fender amps famous. In the oldest Blues Jr's (made before 1996) the tone is dark, the tone.
