Epiphone: Valve Jr (Head)

[most_wanted]

Actually, both of them have no much difference... It's is just tat the price is different. If u have cabinets at home, u might as well buy the head because the price is cheaper than the combo.It's really up to u to buy which one.

Alrite thanks..I wonder if clean boosting it with an Xotic RC Booster helps..cos I currently use the RC Booster to boost my Fender Frontman 25R, its on all the time

if you hear no differences between a 10" driver & the 12" version, you wouldn't mind owning either version.

i was talking abt the combo version..

 

[faizal_rocks]

dom: Thanks a lot..I ordered the combo version yday n will b getting it by this weekend...can't wait

 

[subversion]

if clean is your thing, the VJ is a good pick

 

[faizal_rocks]

Woohoo, thanks Sub

 

[dom]

it's a real gem. haha. i dont own one personally, but a few of my friends and i bought one for a dear friend for his bday. enjoy your new toy! it's really great, simply put.

Now I`m thinking of upgrading from my combo version to the head+cab version

Is a standby switch for this really needed since the head doesn't have one? I heard having a standby switch is most essential for prolonging the lifespan of the tubes..is it possible to have it installed?

 

[Godspeed64]

Head and cab! This is one super amazing amp! Superb cleans with lots and lots of bottom end..

Try putting it through 2 10" Jensens.. :twisted:

I don't know about the Standby switch, but I know Seekz has mods for the Valve Jr.! Orange drop capacitor mod I think.. Maybe ask him?

 

[subversion]

dunno if i'm the only one here liking it for what it is, mod-free of course

 

[faizal_rocks]

Thanks Godspeed64, just dropped seekz an email

I'm actually in love with the tone bro.. Hence the reason I PM'ed ya!
I want to get a head version of my Randall, and get another Epi head to go with a cab..

 

[subversion]

...and get another Epi head to go with a cab..

you are referring to the VJ, yes? it's a good move...

 

[Godspeed64]

Yeap.. The VJ.. I know its a good move, but a very hard one to make..
Pre G3 models are hard to find nowadays..

 

[faizal_rocks]

I`m still deciding though on whether to upgrade to head+cab..since my combo version can connect to a cab..should I just get only the cab instead to connect to my combo?

 

[brandnewrock]

get the cab instead. save cash on other stuffs.

 

[subversion]

you can swap the combo's driver for a 12", that would bring on some tonal diff (combo sports a 10")...

 

[faizal_rocks]

Sub: I do believe the combo sports an 8", not 10"....seriously, is it really possible for a 12" speaker to fit in a combo?

 

[subversion]

...is it really possible for a 12" speaker to fit in a combo?

this you have to ask the countless modders who did just that to their VJs
