Fender Pro Junior
The Fender Pro Junior is a guitar amp manufactured by Fender Musical Instruments Co. It is the lowest-priced model of the Hot Rod series[1] and has a 10" Eminence Speaker. It contains a pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL84 Groove Tube output tubes.[2]
While the amp's small size makes it convenient for practicing, it has also been used on-stage by some notable guitar players, including Jeff Beck,[3] and Mike Sullivan of the band Russian Circles.[4]
History
The Pro Junior was introduced in 1993 along with several other popular Fender guitar amplifiers including the Fender Blues Junior and the '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue.[5]
In 2001 production of the Hot Rod Series amplifiers ( including the Pro Junior and Fender Blues Junior, etc.) was moved to the Ensenada factory in Mexico.[6]
The Pro Junior III Series was announced on September 9, 2010 with the following updates:
"All Hot Rod III series amps include easier-to-read black control panels, new badges, “dog bone” handles, heavy-duty chicken-head knobs and LED jewel lights." [7]
