rowbi Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 hi guys, thanks for the replies. I actually asked thomann today when they would have the valve senior in stock, and they said May... looks like Epiphone are probably having the same issues that blackheart are having with some chinese factories closing down due to the world financial market at the moment, so my huess is that they were due out a few months back but keep getting pushed because they can't get them made. i hope May is right :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 welcome paruwi. Boy that thing looks cool, doesn't it? http://de.woodbrass.com/images/woodbrass/EPA-IVSC.JPG TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMod Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 How can it be that the combo is cheaper than the head version that doesn't have a 12" speaker ? The price on Thomann.de is 299 Euro for the head but 279 Euro for the combo The head runs 18 Watt class AB Push Pull and the combo 20 Watt class ?? Anyway, I think both will be great MOD platforms for the price if they ever arrive. Just like the little Junior. Epiphone brought with them the Valve Senior Combo to The 2009 NAMM Show http://www.epiphone.com/news.asp?NewsID=1417 Come on Epi ... show us some specs and a demo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyscaglyc Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 TWANG, They do exist! The price point on the Sweetwater site is nice, but as with any GAS issues, I may have to wait a little bit. Are there any other specs about the "reverb" - hoping it's not the DSP effects again. The DSP effects in the Standard I had really didn't do much for me, and had I kept it, that amp was scheduled to get some major mod TWANG! (and sparkle, and, and....) The Sr. may not need a thing to get that sparkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aharps Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 My question is will there be an effects loop? The od tone on the jr is what i got it for, having to dump reverb pedals and delay pedals before it is a major major downside for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWANG Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I am so tempted. And I don't even need the watts. What's wrong with me, anyway? What am I, twelve? I don't need it, I can't afford it, But I WANT IT!!!!! TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
