Epiphone Valve Junior... Finally.
Picked it up yesterday after Brandy and I walked around the UW campus, walked up Bascom Hill, and went up to the 18th floor of the foreign language building (I can never remember the name of that), to see the view. It looked like a little toy city, with cranes moving buildings around.
I thought, for sure, I'd just use the 1x12 speaker cab that I had, and call it a day. Unfortunately, it sounded pretty foggy, but it was still usable. I hooked up the 10" speaker that was in my Behringer combo amp, and it was pretty bright sounding. I thought it'd be great if the sound was somewhere in between the two. I decided that it'd be best to combine the two, so I spent all day today making a speaker cabinet out of MDF, and some plywood. Now I'm super fatigued and exhausted.
I just used the speakers that were in those two cabinets, and hooked both speakers up in parallel. So, no more 1x12 cab, and no more Behringer combo amp.
The cabinet an "open" back cabinet at 4 ohms. It's a great mixture of low fog, and brightness. And guess what? It's dang loud. The amp is only 5 watts, and I basically put it at about the 1/2 setting. Not 1/2 way up (12 o'clock). 1/2 of where "1" would be, if there were numbers on the volume dial. It sounds great.
Know anyone looking for a 50 watt 800 series Marshall head? I know someone who has one for sale.
