Greentone,
One of the suggestions to avoid some of the issues with the amp is to change the amp's speaker to 4ohms. I have seen the Jenson speaker 4ohm version still available recently. Is this a heat related remedy or reduced stress on the circuitry kind of thing?

Good point. When mine failed there was zap type noise. When the tech repaired it there is a particular chip that was replaced. Also as mentioned the speaker fried. With Richie it was the power supply. Perhaps the two are related?

Spook410,
I had no knowledge of this Fender amp until now. But I am going to take a hard look at it. I find it very interesting. Cosmectially looks like the Fender Deluxe Reverb or a Fender Twin. But is a solid state modeling amp with 1 an 2 Neodymium speakers. And it weights 23 pounds and the Twin 33 pounds!

I agree with your assement. The JMUL has that "tone". I think it was way ahead of its time.

what happened is that it was discontinued and evolution marched on.

I will start off by saying that all of my interactions on this site have been positive until now.
I put up a post looking for a Speaker Cabinet for my FJUL. Someone contacted me saying that they had one for sale.
I sent him the money through PayPal. He insisted that I not send through the purchases portal but send it through the Friends and Family portal.
Against my better judgement, I did as requested.
The speaker was never shipped. After spending countless hours on the phone with PayPal and the bank it looks like I am out $280 USD.
I am writing this because I wanted others to be aware of the fact that although 99% of the folks on this site are guitarists supporting other guitarists and that the Administrators have done an excellent job of keeping things positive. There is that 1% that is lurking and scheming to take advantage of you.
If you are approached by Mason Tomei (if that is his real name) a.k.a softjazz. Please do not interact in any monetary exchanges with him. He is that 1%.
I am foolishly naive and positive but I am hoping that Mason (soft jazz) Tomei either send me my money back or sends me the speaker and I will have to delete this post and apologize.
Worse case scenario, I'm out $280 and I have learned my lesson.

Sympathies, that was not small potatoes. You must have done a Google search and found a person by that name, photos and all.

Hi
I bought a FJUL Head without the speaker.
After some research I bought a simple 12" Case and a Celestions Copperback Neo (250 W, 4 Ohm).
That works & sounds just fine and ist still lightweight.
