Fender Blues Junior at Bedroom level

We have been asked this question SO many times, ‘Can I use the Blues Junior at home'?’.

It seemed appropriate to produce a video demonstrating ‘How loud the Blues Junior is at bedroom level’.

A couple of things to bear in mind, the audio in this video is just the camera audio. I used the camera mic to try (as much as it is possible) to be ‘my ears in the room’. I also set the Blues Junior to a level which I personally feel is acceptable and not going to annoy the neighbours. However, your situation may be different. As you can see, I also used some pedals to get dirty tones at low levels.

If you have any specific questions, let me know.

Mooer Triangle Buff review

So after much deliberation and even a YouTube video to my viewers asking wether or not I should get a fuzz pedal.....basically I decided to go for one. As mentioned in the video, I have had a few over the years, but just couldn’t get along with them. I love David Gilmour’s tone and Eric Johnson, so I figure that there must be something I was missing. So I decided to go for the Mooer Triangle Buff (nice pun on the muff there!), and see if I could finally make fuzz work for me.So here is the video of my adventure and of course the review. Mooer Triangle Buff....so yes I finally got a fuzz pedal!!! But do I like it??Pedal with a funny name! But what does it sound like?EnjoyPeaceNeil
