As part of the Hot Rod series the Pro Junior III has a subtle but exclusive sound and feel.

General
Your general opinion of this product.
I am using the Pro Junior III with Fender N3 Pick-ups. (Fender HSS Deluxe). This set-up is quite unforgiving, but the excellent tone from the Pro Junior III hits all the right spots.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Controls are easy to get to as long as you put it on a table.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The Pro is both bright and snappy and dark and smooth. It really brought the best out of the Fender Deluxe HSS with N3's Im using. It sounds great.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Excellent.

How was the action out of the box?

A very good sounding amp

The quality build of the amp is about as good as it gets for a factory amp. Probabley not as good as a botique or custom built amp but, I'm OK with that.

I've been gigging with it faithfully twice a week for 2 years and My daughter takes it from time to time. I am still using the stock tubes and speaker. Don't know if that is lond enough to tell.

Your general opinion of this product.
I have an older one with the chrome and it hasn't given me any problems. I think it is a great design. It's light small and loud, well enough to keep up with a drummer and bass. If not you can always mic it. It's simple to set up and if you desire more color to your sound it takes pedals well.

Great cleans but not really vintage Fender. Maybe because of EL84 power tubes.Breakup is pure 70's rock almost AC 30ish. It does hum a little but when the band starts going the hum isn't noticed.

I think the PJ is a little on the dark side of Fender but still has great top end.Chime?.

It is small, Black and silver. Hardley noticable. looks good though.

I wouldn't recommend this as a bedroom amp because it has no master volume and it's just too loud. May a Blackstar HT1 or a Super Champ would be better.
