I've just got hold of a Fender Super Champ X2 combo and I'm blown away at the tone on Channel 1. This is everything I wanted the Blues Jr to be but it wasn't.
The Super Champ definitely has that blackface vibe and sparkling tone on channel 1. I found the Bluer Jr to have a nasal sound that was hard to dial out, not nice in a tweed kind of way, and lacks clean headroom.
Adding to the Champs amazing channel 1 tone are some great sounding and programmable effects, a range of modelling amps on channel 2 (I haven't tried them properly yet) and a direct recording out, add all this and at a lower price and it beats the Blues Jr hands down.
I really wasn't expecting this amp to sound so good and it looks set to become my principle @home amp.
