`fender blues jr

[bullet len]

I own one of the Tweed Blues Jr Amps with the Jensen speaker and it's awesome for harp.
It breaks up really well and it gets loud before feedback. I haven't had to swap any tubes at all.
The sweet Fender spring reverb is a huge bonus!
I've played a few gigs with it and it's loud enough to hear yourself, but any amp can be put through a PA anyway.
I've tried some different mics with the Blues Jr and it seems to like Dynamics more than crystals or cr/cm.
I play my Shure 545 Unidyne and my Shure 585 Unisphere through it and it sings!

I've tried one of those with a bullet and delay and the only thing that bothered me was the loud hum on the one I played through. Does your amp hum abnormally? I like the sound of the amp fine, and the output, overall size, looks, and controls are nice as well.

A loud hum is a sign that something's wrong, for example a loose tube or a bad ground. My BJ doesn't hum. Blues Jr amps are notorious for being shipped with loose tubes (mine had one empty socket -- I later found the tube stuck to the speaker magnet -- but once I replaced the tube all was, and continues to be, well).

Given the maturity level of the average poster here, you should really avoid writing things like that.

Something like that can give you the blues.
