Epiphone  Valve  Junior  

Description:

Here's a sample of my modded Epiphone Valve Junior. I'm playing an ESP LTD EC-1000 with Seymour Duncan pickups (JB bridge, 59 neck) straight into the amp, which goes into a closed-back 2x12 with new reissue Celestion Greenbacks. I have the bridge pickup full up and the neck pickup about 1/4 up. I start the clip off with the amp volume 1/4 of the way up, then move it to 1/2 way up, then to 3/4, then all the way up. At that point I switch to the neck pup so you can see how well it cleans up with the pup turned down. I then back the amp back down to about "9" and switch back to the bridge. Even though this was recorded with a digital camera, I think you can get an idea of how the amp sounds. Forgive my incredibly bad playing. :)

Hmm, that didn't post in the right place. I was directing that comment towards the sarcastic, unknowledgable person "lalajookyzheart" only! Not to anyone else.

You're obviously not good at math or physics as they apply to sound amplification. It takes a 10 fold increase in power to achieve twice the volume. It is a logarithmic scale. Obviously if you decrease the power by 10 fold you cut the volume in half. Therefore, 5 watts is HALF the volume of 50 watts (50/5 = 10 fold). If you want to know the change in volume in decibels between different wattages, the equation is: 10*log(P1/P0), where P1 is the desired watts, and P0 is the starting watts.

Can you please tell the world what you did to the amp? Sounds great!

No, not really. I didn't like the sound of it at all before I modded it. It was very farty sounding when cranked. The mods made a huge difference.

Excellent. Definitely going to get one of these and look into the mods.

Did the amp sound pretty similar before you modded it, cause I'm sold on the sound you're getting

5 watts is 50% as loud as 50 watts.

thats 5 clean watts. when overdriven it will be louder than 5 watts.

5 tube watts is going to sound massive. Tube watts are very different from solid state watts.
