Great Amp for the price

by Charles Newman from Jacksonville, NC
October 7, 2010
Music Background: Musician/hobbyist/jam partner/whatever
Just bought this head from Brendan and I must say am very satisfied so far. The reverb feature is what made the decision between this and the nighttrain so much easier not to mention the price. I me... read more [+]na really a 20w tube amp for less than 300? Not in your wildest dreams did you imagine the quality you are getting in this amp. Admittedly I hav ehad the amp for about two weeks now and am still playing around with settings and most likely will be till I die. But this is the perfect small portable gigging tube amp. I run mine through an avatar 212 cab with eminence 25w speakers and the sound is amazing. Not the same as my Fender Blues Deluxe nor the same as Vox nor Marshall but to me has the best qualities of each rolled into this small light package. A great buy for the money. I sincerely and strongly recommend it. close [-]

New "Vintage"

Anyone that knows me knows that I love the Epiphone E Series amps. Its not because i like burgundy colored tolex either. These Gibson Labs designed amps are consistently the best value in tube amps on... read more [+] the market. They are ( by design and intent ) a renewal of the "student" and "budget" model amps of the 50's and 60's. Such amps as the original 10 watt VOX AC4,(valve junior) The Fender Deluxe,(Valve senior) the Univox Blue "B" series heads (SO CAL 50) and Big Gibson twin amps from the Late 50's and early 60's (The Blues Custom 30). The originals defined the sound of the rock and roll era they were affordable then to most musicians AND they were very high quality. Many of them are still in use 30 - 50 years later. Gibson has an eye on the past, present and future with these amps and I have not been let down by any of the E series amps I've owned or used. I am using a 6V6 based Marshall MZH15 right now (also available at Sweetwater )because of its higher gain. The Epiphone Valve senior IMHO is actually superior to the Marshall in a couple of features (real spring reverb, overall looser vintage American tone), and is half the price. I highly, highly recommend this amp for an authentic American tube amp sound,superior value and very high quality. close [-]

Satisfaction Garanteed

Music Background: 51yrs and a gazillion miles later man I'm tired but would'nt trade it for anything
sometimes the truth hurts,Lets face it gibson does'nt design junk. After contacting Gibson.com it was confirmed this is a 20watt amp.- I purchased this head from mr.eads at sweetwater because he conta... read more [+]cted me by phone 1year after my first inquiry of this amp. can you say sincere service.I was about 2 heartbeats away from buying a nighttrain granted the vox i passed up is no doubt a 5. but the cash i saved allowed me to spend more on other equip.I only wished it had a line out my reason for the 4.5, but there are ways around that. 6 tubes,a/b oper,gain,treble,mid,bass,pres,master,yes a tube driven reverb. and most important a standby for tube longevity toss in good cabintry + great looks you have a nice machine. Did I mention LOUUUDD but don't take my word for it call Mike and test drive one for yourself. You'll be satisfied close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
