Im wanting a new tube amp, any suggestions? Hows the Epiphone Half Stack?[/quote'] Hey GKingN! You really can not go wrong with the Valve Junior Half-stack!!!!! I can't recommend that set up enough, especially for home use and potential small live use. Mic'd it can do anything. Epiphone made some huge improvements to the current version. And for $249???!!!! Seriously!!!!!! There was absolutely nothing like this that sounds this good when I started playing almost 15 years ago. I vote YES on the Epi Valve Jr.!!!!! Try one out!!! Keep in mind that to get the amps natural tube distortion, you really have to be at about 1/3 of the the amps volume (which is glorious, but loud at that point!!). BUT, the Valve Jr. takes to pedals very nicely, so what you allready have for a distortion pedal would work great to give you distortion at really low volumes. Do it man!!!

Hows the Epiphone Half Stack?[/quote'] Don't want to hijack the thread, but from other threads you will want to look at these in that power range, depending on your budget: Epi Valve Jr HS Blackheart HS Fender Blues Jr. Vox AC15 Hope this helps!

Good recommendations. +10 on the Blackheart. I got rid of two Epi VJ heads when I got the Little Giant. For the same price, the sound is much better - IMHO of course.

RichCI Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 New addition on it's way! My name just came up on the waiting list for a Foxrox Aquavibe so hopefully I'll get it before the end of the week. I've waiting to buy one since January and this will (finally) be replacing my Lovepedal Magicboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I would give my left nut for a 2205. Same thing, two channels, but only 50 watts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson CS Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 i STILL think the best amp marshall ever made was the jtm 60 basically a 60 watt jcm 800 2210 but i guess a 2205 is the same concept or hell its the same =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 And for you (youngsters that love him more than life) of little faith... HE uses one too with his lester...

DuaLeaD Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 2007 Gibson Les Paul Supreme (my avatar) through a 100W B-52 Head and into a Marshall 1960 Half Stack (Celestion Speakers baby!) Occasionally I bust out my Metal Zone pedal for the Randy Rhoads crunch (I played with that thing for hours to get it that way). ****For some reason I can't get the new Marshalls to sound like the old ones used throughout classic rock. B-52 blows them out of the water in that department IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
