2/11 Blues Jr. and Pro Junior Rebuilds:

Over the past 5 years I rebuilt tons of these amps. It was lots of fun to do but time consuming. I’ve decided to no longer offer rebuilds for these amps after 2/28/2023 so to give people who have wanted to get their amps done time to order. This will give me more time to build in stock amps and hopeful cut down on the wait times for other amps. Thank you to everyone who purchased these!

Rebuilds for the Fender Blues Junior

Your Fender Blues Junior can be rebuilt into a boutique quality hand wired amp! Carl's Custom Amps will turn your Pro Junior or Blues Junior into true tone machines.  We completely hand wire them with a circuit of your choosing.  We always replace the output transformer with much higher quality unit and replacing the power transformer is necessary for most mods too. All you need to do is send in your chassis and we'll rebuild it and ship it back to you to re-install.  In some cases, we'll recommend that you also replace the speaker the speaker for the best sound.  Contact us today for pricing and discuss which rebuild is right for you!

Note: we give you a trade in value on the parts we don’t re-use like the PCB and transformers. If the chassis is stripped of parts we will need to add those to the final cost of the conversion.

Pricing Ranges from $500 to $850. please contact for current pricing. Most are version of amps I build so more info can be found on each of their pages. We are not currently doing any other models or rebuild types.

“I got the amp at lunchtime today. Sounds absolutely amazing, I am super happy with it

Thanks,

Sam T.” British Champ with London Power Scaling Rebuild

“Hi Carl,

First impression: it's so quiet.

Second impression: it's so loud!

I've owned a tweed Champ clone and this little beast kills it! Great job! It'll be hard to sleep tonight. Makes me want to play it all night long.

Tweed Champ/Princeton Style 5W Rebuild

“Hi Carl,

The amp came yesterday and all I can say is “Wow”! The best sounding amp I’ve ever played. I know a little about guitars and amps. I was the guitar tech for Steve Miller, Sammy Hagar and Glen Campbell. The amp has such much clarity and the speaker you recommended is a perfect match for the amp. I’ll be ordering the High Power Twin in a couple months. Thanks Carl!

Best Regards,

Mike”

“Carl,

The amp sounds fantastic! And looks great inside and out. Thanks!…..

Thanks again,

" Carl

The amp is phenomenal. Sounds fantastic with a clean Strat. No pedals or eq or anything needed. Perfect low volume amp. So expressive. So much nuance hiding in my guitar I never heard before. I wish my cabinet was fancier now but it looks good with my white Strat and black case. Very cool. Thanks so much!

"Good morning Carl.

Just wanted to thank you again for such a wonderful job on my Blues Junior re-do; into a Blonde 20. Been experimenting with it over the last few days and some of my buddies are jealous of the clean sound and all the headroom. I also have a pedal board with  mostly MXRs and a few hand builts. Really enjoying the amazing richness coming from the amp.

I'm also impressed with the quality of your work. All the solder joints look super clean and the chassis config. is pro in my book. I can tell you do this with a great deal of care.

Again thanks so much.

This amp sounds magical. I'm not kidding, I couldn't stop playing it.

Who needs reverb?
