[JuanMOcampo]

Thanks.

[dbenc]

is that avatars new name plate or there old one?

[JuanMOcampo]

I got the cab a little over a year ago. I can assume it is a newer name plate, but not 100% sure.

This is the best clean sound I've heard from a valve junior! I'm guessing it's due to the 2x12 rather than 1x12. Sounds great!

Thanks!!!

Very nice tone and playing style, I could listen to that anytime.

I bought the VJ combo a few days ago, I think it's the ver3 with the 3 speaker impedance 4, 8, 16 ohm but I'm dissapointed with the tone, it's not as good as my VOX DA5, maybe just my cheap Strat copy, although as I said the DA5 sounds good thru it, hard to evaluate with very limited experience as to how much the actual guitar contributes to the tone.

You have AWESOME feeling!!

[PFLOYDB]

i like the way you play bro. i have the same amp.

[paulswerth]

howd you get this clean of sound?

[tcshea]

It's a class A tube amp, turn it up for Christ sake and enjoy some classic EL84 crunch! This head was meant to be played dimed, eh? that's the whole point of low wattage tube heads. WFO without blowing out your ear drums or cabs.

Tis Lovely.

@XxENDORUSHxX thanks for the suggestion, I have recently bought a cheap distortion pedal, what a difference, it's turned my cheap Strat copy into a growling beast with unbelievable sustain, it really makes the VJ wake up.

[shoekstra1419]

so I'm considering buying this amp, how'd it sound with a swollen pickle running through it?

[XxENDORUSHxX]

@konnen2 hey man. yeah i know its a little late haha but yeah i got the stack andwas dissapointed to :(. but just slap it on a 2x12 with celestion greenback clones. aaaahhhh AMAZING

[pFOXter99]

I like your style-- kind of like a little bluesier Mark knopfler with a pick lol.

[jimdep1]

Great tone and feel ! You might have sold me on the Epi Valve Jr.

I've already got the strat.
