Hey everybody.
Ive got here this little fender tube amp (15w, blues junior)
and i want to get that classical blues tone with it (something between b.b king's tone and srv's tone). My question is, do i need any external effects to get that tone,or setting the amp very loud would be enough?
If i need any external pedals, can you please recommend any?
Thank you, have a nice day.

As far as I know, BB's tone is just straight Lucille into an amp. SRV used an old Ibanez TubeScreamer, but I'd say that simply cranking the amp to 8 - 10 would get you that sweet blues tone.
... and that's all I have to say about that.

If your amp doesn't crank up enough for your tastes , you should get a dist pedal to boost it.
