will you be posting any clips of the epiphone valve head once it's modded??? I really really wanna hear this beast in action, as I'm torn between buying this and the awesome Vox VC30, I still dont know, but any audio clips at all of it would help me out hugely. All I've come across is clips on youtube recorded from a tin can sounding moblie phone mic thats about 10 metres away and its clipping like a pair of domented scissors. and this makes it too annoying to cope with as I'm a producer.

later,

Ben.

just to point out, if you go to those mods from ebay.co.uk, it lists the postage as $12.50... at current exchange rates, that's still only about £7, but worth bearing in mind, I guess.

Here's a pretty good demo of a BitMo modded VJ.

would the Valve Jr(the combo) be better for bedroom playing than the Valve Special? im undecided between the two. Should Christmas bring me money i might get one :D

That soundclip is the Shizzle btw

i'm guessing the special, assuming it has a master volume, if keeping the thing quiet (while still getting overdrive) is what you want.
Not too sure about the built-in fx, though...

peavey are releasing a valveking super 8 (something like that) in the spring, it's going to be £129, according to gak, and it has a master volume... that might be worth a look, it's a bit cheaper than the Valve special, which is closer to £200, far as I know.
