Dosi Y'Anarchy Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 So I bought a Epiphone Valve Jr, although I thought it was cool, It wasnt particularly bass-friendly so I sent it to UMPH to see what he could do, this is the result: [IMG]http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q143/dosiyanarchy/017-3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q143/dosiyanarchy/020-2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q143/dosiyanarchy/024-6.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q143/dosiyanarchy/025-4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q143/dosiyanarchy/029-4.jpg[/IMG] I've been using it on both Guitar and Bass - its MUCH easier to overdrive on bass and you can get everything from fat warm motown sounds to fuzzed-out epic doom tones. Great for home practice and recording, but of course 5w only goes so far, especially on bass. I turned the head around in the chassis so the black grille is now at the front. I also took off the Epiphone logo and superglued it to the grille. I also replaces the knobs. Due to the size of the Simms-Watts-style knobs, I had to leave a little ga[ between the chassis and the front panel, but its not noticable but thought i'd mention it anyway. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] layout on front panel is - 5-Position High-Pass Switch, Gain Switch, Input Jack, Bright Switch, Gain, High Cut, Master. On the back the switch controls whether the dummy load is in play and the new jack is the line out. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]All switches are on in the up position and off in down. Make sure the dummy load isn't on when you're not using it because it'll reduce the power and the output transformer wont like it. Internally it has mullards and an EL84 according to Umph.[/font][/color] [b][font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]I'm looking for £200 including Mainland UK postage (excluding highland and Islands) I live in Northwood, Middlesex (on the Met Line) and would be happy to drive a short distance.[/color][/font][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamo Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'd be interested for home use if I hadn't just blown a wedge on an svt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 You should try and get some sound clips up. I'd appreciate hearing this little beast at work ....bump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosi Y'Anarchy Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Hey, thanks for the bump: I actually did do a clip a while back that I totally forgot about: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11020435 Sorry for the sloppy playing thinking back - signal chain was probably: my p/j bass -> modded VJr, -> SWR workingmans 2x12 cab -> Sure SM57 -> Presonnus Tube pre -> Adobe audition (no EQ or compression added) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
