Anybody have any feedback on the BillM mods?
Thanks

I dunno--if it were me, rather than spend that kind of coin to upgrade a mediocre amp, I'd rather just combine the cost of the amp and the mods to go get an amp that sounds better in the first place.![]()
Let's see, how to put this. I bought a Blues JR entirely due to the fact I could fit it in a suitcase for a tour I did a few years back. I traveled all over Europe with it playing in a duo. We had a blast. The only thing the amp did that I liked was not weight much, haha. I'm not a fan of this amp...I did pretty much all the BillM mods to it and I still didn't like it. Cold, brittle, uninspiring. Very glad I sold it.
YMMV, of course, just one man's experience.
I'm looking for a grab & go amp. My question is, after you do all those mods to the JR, plus new speaker and new cab, how much coin do you have invested in it?

WowIt all depends on what you're looking for. I actually liked my Blues Jr stock. Paired with my esquire, I could get Brad Paisley rhythm tones easily. After a the basic mod package, the amp is missing that growl that I loved. It's a little too tame now...it doesn't break up in a musical, natural way anymore...the gain is fuzzy and metal-ish now. Boo-urns.
