This is an Epiphone Valve Jr. head modified with the Plexi SE v1.1 pcb. It is set to 'Cascade' mode (similar to Marshall JCM800). It also has a Hammond 125ESE output transformer. A few of the resistors and capacitors have been changed as in popular jcm800 modifications (bright cap etc..).
I'm not exactly happy with the results yet, but my customer needs this amp working by tomorrow. The stock output transformer was bad.

I just ordered on of these PCBs. That sound clip sounds incredible. Is that REALLY from this little 5 watt amp? Can you share what other mods were done?

I don't remember the specific mods, but just look up jcm-800 mods and you'll find some.

pretty much, this is the 'cascade' mode which should resemble a jcm800 as far as i know. i think i would like the 'plexi' mode better, but i didn't have time to mess with it as this was a repair job.
