Fender Pro Junior

The Fender Pro Junior.

The Fender Pro Junior is a guitar amp manufactured by Fender Musical Instruments Co. It is the lowest-priced model of the Hot Rod series[1] and has a 10" Eminence Speaker. It contains a pair of 12AX7 tubes, one used as a two stage preamp and the other as a phase splitter to drive the push-pull EL84 Groove Tube output tubes.[2]

While the amp's small size makes it convenient for practicing, it has also been used on-stage by some notable guitar players, including Jeff Beck,[3] and Mike Sullivan of the band Russian Circles.[4]
