“FAT” FOOTSWITCH CONNECTOR-
This jack
provides a connection for the optional external
footswitch (Fender Part# 041228). When
plugged in, the external footswitch disables the
Fat switch (Item H) on the top panel.
SPEAKER CONNECTOR-
This jack provides a
connection for the internal speaker. An 8 Ohm
external speaker cabinet may be used instead of
the internal speaker.
LINE CORD
This amplifier is equipped with a grounding type sup-
ply cord to reduce the possibility of shock hazard.
DO NOT ALTER THE AC PLUG. ANY ATTEMPT TO
DEFEAT THIS FEATURE COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY.
TUBES
The Blues Junior tube complement consists of three
12AX7s (Fender P/N 013341) and two
6BQ5s(EL84s) (Fender P/N 041255). Looking at the
back of a Blues Junior amplifier, the tube complement
appears as:
6BQ5 6BQ5 12AX7 12AX7 12AX7
TWEED COVERING CARE
The tweed covering is best cleaned with a water-
dampened sponge. Stubborn spots may be cleaned
with a sponge dampened with a light, soapy solu-
tion. Be careful not to let any liquid come in contact
with the operating surfaces. DO NOT have the ampli-
fier plugged into the power outlet during cleaning.
If the amp is set up but does not function, check the following items:
• Is the amp’s power cord properly plugged into an electrical outlet
• Is there power at the outlet?
• Is the speaker properly connected to the amplifier?
• Are the volume and master controls above “zero”?
• Is the volume control on the instrument turned up?
• Is your instrument properly plugged into the amplifier?
(Eliminate any effect pedals and/or try another cord.)
If, after checking all of the above, the system is not performing correctly, consult your Fender Service Center.
