Just saw Pitbull Audio and another seller each list 2 JJ Jr's on eBay. I guess each reseller got 2 of them? Cool.

Yeah Sweetwater started shipping preorders. I saw one of those stores on Reverb had a couple listed for like $2089 or some shit.

Tracking was added for my combo, supposed to arrive tomorrow. Hopefully it will arrive at Friedman HQ for the volume/footswitch mod as that is what was supposed to happen but if it arrives at my house instead I guess Ill just send it out for the mod after I play it a while...

I'm so tempted. I've been shopping for a hot rodded Marshall type amp the past couple weeks. I think I'm going to order one next week after some reviews start hitting.

I bought one yesterday. Relatively affordable, but one of the most exciting purchases I made in a while. I have a JJ100 so this will be interesting

Well, let me tell you this. I had a BE-100 for quite a while too and compared it extensively to the PT20. It amazed me how those little EL84 tubes stood up. The PT20 tone is so good that I like it every bit as much as the Smallbox. I often weighed the idea of letting my BE-100 go and replacing it with a PT20, but not having the channel switching and all that was too great a compromise. I believe that it will be the same, equally satisfying result with the JJ Jr vs JJ-100. The difference being that the JJ has recording features that will be very useful.
It sounds crazy to replace my JJ-100 with a JJ jr but I'm an average Joe and probably won't ever play a large venue where 100w could be used in its full glory. Using my Kemper has changed the way I do things. Now instead of using a loadbox + speaker sim for my big amp, I can just use my JJ Jr direct. Recorded tone *I think* will probably be imperceptible. Live tone will be adequate for small venues though the first thing I'll do is see how the clean headroom holds up. I don't care if it's pristine clean, but as long as it's clean enough to roughly cover clean song parts then that will do.
I'll apologize in advance because there's no way in hell I will post an audio demo here. I've seen the way you guys critique professionals so I won't even attempt it. LOL! But I will give you an in-depth comparison.

I want a 20 watt Butterslax. I asked Friedman if the JJ jr could be modded but he said it was basically the same. I know that its probably close enough that it wouldnt warrant the time/cost of a mod

Just adds a volume knob for jbe mode to eliminate the volume drop and makes jbe mode footswitchable. Kind of like having three channels but not really technically having three channels.

It would be a feat of amp engineering to make a 20w Butterslax but if there is anyone who could do it, Dave would be the man. Sign me up for one Dave! Not sure if EL84s would work but he did it with the DS mini so it must be possible.

I wish they would just come this way from the factory, but I'm sure they are just trying to hit a price point.
