First off,nice video man!....but here come the questions(i dont know too much about amps,so sorry if sound like an idiot haha) but with the cab extension how loud can these get? And can i use any stompboxes\pedals with it?
I traded an old squire for one of these amps. I put it on my Peavey 412 loaded with Emminence M12s...you wouldn't believe it's a small amp! It rocks on both tone and volume. It plays with the $600+ amps just fine. I use the amps natural break up (no pedals) and you can feel the sound from 8 feet away easily. Too bad I'm not in a band anymore.
Hey there, thanks for the great video! I had a couple questions though. Not sure if you know Karl Verkade/Guitar for Worship but he made a demo of this amp in the combo version (YouTube Passenger95) and said it was a bit boxy, but still great. Do you find that running the head version into a 2x12 eliminates that? I'd love one for running stereo cleans or even by itself at church but I feel a tad spoiled by my 60-watt 2x12 combo I already have... your opinion would be great. Thanks!
@Botdra Hey man, thanks! I do know Karl. I would say that in comparison to the Matchless he usually plays, that yes it definitely sounds boxy, haha. I do find that running it through good speakers opens it up so much more though. It's definitely brighter and more "voxy" through my 2x12. And it works awesome for church stuff. Currently, I lead through my 15w Night Train, and our lead guy (I play rhythm when I lead worship, and lead if not singing) plays the VJ, as it takes pedals better....
@Botdra Haha, well, yes and no. In the past, I've always used and loved lower powered Celestions (Greenbacks, V 30's, Blues) and still love them, but right now my 2x12 has two Line 6 speakers (also celestion made), nothing special about them other they sound great with my rig. So my biggest advice is just try stuff out. I do recommend open back cabs, and there's tons of companies who'll make a 1x12 or 2x12 for you and you can load whatever speakers you like into... That's what I did :-)

The Epiphone Valve Junior is a really excellent piece of gear! I have the combo version and I frequently choose it over bigger and more expensive valve amps.
@Sebyihi Yeah, it really is. I mostly play worship type music at church and pop-rock type stuff, and it works great for it. And the portability/price benefits make it such a great little guy to have.
@ivanarato Thanks man! I really appreciate it. This is really for all the players out there like myself who can't always afford the real nice stuff, lol :)
Hahaha by 2:0w I could tell for sure you were a church musician.

@Allan500 just the delays and volume pedal. Sometimes I use the Tim to dirty them up a bit.
