RECOMMENDED — not currently owned
The Fender Blues Junior IV cannot produce searing 80s arena-rock lead saturation on its own without turning muddy, so an external high-gain distortion pedal is recommended while keeping amp gain at 3. To balance the Strat bridge single-coil through the naturally bright Fender circuit, mids are pushed to 7 and treble is moderated to 5.
