I got my valve junior combo today, after all the reading I have been doing on it and seeing all the mods... I decided I had to have it (GAS) for a practice amp. Took it out of the box, plugged it in and waited for about 1/2 an hour then turned the volume to about half and waited another 20 minutes. It has been said they need plenty warm up time. I will say at this point the noise issue has been taken care of, this baby is quiet for a tube amp absolutely no noise at half and a small small hiss at full. I plugged in my strat, a 70's reissue partscaster with CS69 pups. At 10/11 oclock position nice cleans, at 2 oclock tube breakup starting to happen, full crank ... whoa lots of punch and OD tones. Nice harmonics coming from the strat. Tried two other beaters and they sounded good also. Still to try some other guitars thru it but for 216.00 taxes in this is a sweet little amp. I have ordered the bitmo spanky mods for it so I'll update when that happens. Now on with the evaluation..... :rockon2:
