Epiphone Epi valve junior review

Epiphone Valve Junior Combo - the super cool Epi 5 watt tube amp

If you want a small, cool tube amp for next to nothing, check out the Epiphone Valve Junior Combo. It's a 5 watt, single-ended Class A amp. It sounds really good and has a low price tag. Don't let that fool you - it's a great, small, but powerful tube amp. The Epi Valve JR is simple to operate - just a volume knob - that's it! Even so, it can go from a nice clean tone to a great overdriven blues tone, depending on how much you turn that one volume knob.
