Epiphone Valve Jr.. 5w of tube goodness.

[pfarber]

Been looking for small-ish tube amp for a while. I was going to pull the trigger on a VOX VT20X (I actually found one for $89 used) but I couldn't do it... I didn't want another solid state amp. So I started looking for < 10w tube amps.... found a LOT of great amps. All at about $500. Nope... can't do $500 for an amp at my current skill level.

So after another craigslist search I saw a few Epiphone Valve Jrs for sale... cheap. After some research I find out that they are decent amps (not universally loved, but overall had a good reputation and can easily be modified) and best of all, look cool as hell.

Low and behold my favorite music store, Guitar Center, listed a head and cab for $159! And only $22 to ship! And only $11 in tax! Total bill was $199. Better price than anything on ebay Reverb (really, fuck reverb.com) or Craigslist.

I now present Myoko, my new 5w tube amp

Found one on CL for $200 about an hour from my home.

So once the GC one shows up we'll see if its on better shape.. if not, GC return policy for the win!

May add a Fender Champion 600 if I find one cheap.
