Pro Junior - Speaker out?
Could some one with one of the newer Pro Juniors (like I would buy off the shelf) tell me if it has a speaker output? Is the speaker hard wired in or is it a 1/4" connection? What's going on back there?
Thanks,
Dan
Thanks,

Pro Jr. is great w a closed back cabinet (picks up some bottom)
It gets shipped with a really cheap speaker (to keep costs down)
Replacing the speaker with something like the Jensen P10R really makes
the Pro Jr. sounds great.

do you play through a cabinet live with the pro Jr?
roscoenyc,
Not to sound like a fan-boy, but you are the reason I started using my Pro, Jr. to record.
I seem to remember an interview you did about recording one of my fave bands, the Bottlerockets; you said something about how the Pro, Jr. can sound like any amp.
Not only do I agree, but I have quoted you about that elsewhere and here!
Maybe I do sound like a fan-boy...

ah, thanks VVV.
Pro Jr's are pretty darn good.
Joel,
I have used the Pro Jr live with a cabinet and without. For a while I was using two of them with one powering a Bassman 2 x 12 cab and the 2nd Pro Jr powering both 10" speakers from the "heads". I used that rig for quite a while w Steve Earle. The Pro Jr is a $300 amp and there are some manufacturing comprimises in it like pretty low quality tube sockets and super cheap pots that are soldered directly to the PC board.
I eventually replaced the Pro Jr's with a couple Dr Z Maz 18 Jr's for durability.
We have had a couple Pro Jr's at the Lakeside Lounge as the house amps for many years and I have one at the studio and keep one (loaded w a jensen) at home for local gigs.
The Bassman cabinets are easy to find. Sound really great after you pull the fiberglass out.

my pro jr says shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i get a lot of shhhhhh noise out of mine (even with controls at zero). i know how to fix hum (filter caps) but is the shhhhhh noise just a design flaw? its running RCA NOS 12ax7s (EH's give the same noise levels) and the stock sovtek power tubes.
anyone????
anyone????
