What up, y'all.
I just picked up an Epiphone Valve Junior on eBay for (reasonably) cheap which I'm really impressed with. Based on my googling I was expecting it to be pretty loud, and it's louder than I expected. It's a little too loud to comfortably play near for more than a few minutes, which is impressive for only 5 watts.
And it sounds great. It's my first genuine tube amp to I'm not comparing it to anything, but its overdrive tone is insanely awesome to my ears.
Having said that, it does seem to suffer from being so small, it has a bit of a "small speaker" sound.
I've read a lot about people modding these amps, changing speaker, tubes etc and I was wondering if it was worth it, or is it better to get a separate cab for a better sound. (This has 3 speaker outputs: 4, 8 and 16 ohm), bearing in mind that I don't have much money.
And also bearing in mind that I like how it sounds at the moment expect for it's "small boxiness".
P.S. It looks cool.
P.P.S. I know there's a lot of info on the googles about this, but I'd thought I'd ask here as well seeing as everyone is so helpful.
