Epiphone Valve Junior 5-Watt Guitar Amp Head (or Combo)

​Pure, stripping-it-down tube tone. The ultimate bedroom rocker and modder’s paradise.

​This is the legendary Epiphone Valve Junior. If you are looking for simple, unadulterated tube tone without a million menus or knobs getting in the way, this is it. It’s got one knob (Volume) and one job: sounding great.

​At 5 watts, it hits that glorious tube power-amp saturation at volumes that won't get you evicted, making it the perfect studio companion or living room jam amp.

​Why the Valve Junior Rules:

​Pure Class A Power: Driven by a single EL84 power tube and a 12AX7 preamp tube. It reacts beautifully to your guitar’s volume knob and your playing dynamics.

​Pedal Friendly: Because it’s a blank canvas of clean-to-crunch tone, it takes overdrive, boost, and delay pedals like an absolute champ.

​The Modder’s Holy Grail: These amps are famous for being incredibly easy to mod. Whether you want to add a tone control, a line out, or swap transformers, the PCB layout is a DIYer’s dream (though it sounds killer completely stock, too!).

​Condition Note:

​Cosmetic: Not perfect visually (has a drop of paint on one side, but overall pretty good for its age.

​Functional: Tubes are fairly new. These amps have a low end him that is inherit to the design, I've heard that it is easy to mod out, but never tried. As near as I can tell, this is all original.
