Blues Jr 12" vs Pro Jr 10"

unclearty · January 10th, 2007, 06:32 AM

Just got my new BJ last night. I now understand about the boxy sound issue I've read about. People here have this idea that the Pro Jr "sounds" better than the BJ. I have an Emminence Ragin Cajun 10" that I bought for my Frontman 25R. It dramatically improved the sound of that amp. I'm thinking about removing the baffle from my BJ and making a new one to hold the 10" Ragin Cajun. If the BJ and PJ are basically the same amp, wouldn't this make an improvement in the BJ's sound? Or...is there a better, inexpensive improvement I can do?

You might want to consider doing some of the BillM mods, particularly the tone stack mod and adjustable bias mod.

The BJr has a short speaker cable with a 1/4" connector on one end. Make a longer cable just like the one in the BJ and run it over to your 10" amp. The sound could be tested without tearing apart the BJr.

Great ideas! I've already printed out the Billm mod for the tone stack..and I'll make up a cable tonight. Thanks!
