I picked up a Peavey extension cabinet w/12" speaker from one of our Forum brothers and it works just great.  |

The Peavey Delta , Epiphone , or an Ampeg might be the way to go . I like both my Classic 30's but the stock speaker and tubes are really matched better to a regular electric guitar. The heavy particle board cabinet material used in the 30 is a real sound killer too . Peavey makes the head separate now , but it's not a lot cheaper than the combo . Both of my 30's are in a separate head , no more tube rattling and longer tube life . You might want to try the particular amps in a store too as both my classic 30's sound different from each other . One has a slightly lower gain and smoother response than the other one even the same tubes swapped . |

T W.You might scoff, but you might try out a Line 6 112 that's come up on sale for 2 bills. GC might have one. In fact, there are a few of them in the low end money wise that you'd probably like. From Epiphone and Vox modellers to other real tube amps. EJL |

Hi,
About the Epiphone Valve Junior Head...
What would you guys recommend as a good 10" / 12" ext. cab for it...? And, if it's possible to give a description, how does it sound? Is it VOX'y / Marshall'y...? I don't really know what different tubes sound like... I'm not that experienced...Thanks for any help you can give me! ------------------
Cheers,
Øystein

The Epiphone Valve Jr. is most like the old Fender Champ. It has one control - volume.
My cab is a ported cab designed by London Power from their Cab book.Karlis |
