Epiphone Valve Special Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I'd probably just get another one of these if I ever needed to. A couple pedals and this amp covers a lot of ground, lets me spend time playing, not futzing with gizmos.
Sound
Very nice tube sound, and a lot of flexibility with independent gain and volume. I'll downrate it a notch with the stock speaker, which I think is just lacking in treble capability. I've since upgraded to a "Ragin Cajun" and now the tone controls really work.
Features
Least useful are built-in effects. I use the chorus occasionally just because I don't like to carry around any more stuff than necessary. Reverb is decent for digital effect, though.
Ease of Use
Nothing confusing about this rig.
Quality
Seems well put together. You could quibble with some of the components, but look at the cost, and there's no evidence they cut any corners delivering a class A amp in the $200 price range.
Value
I admit I didn't play a bunch of models in the class, but I'd have a hard time imagining anything substantially better in terms of bang for the buck, whether you're using it for practice, miking onstage or both.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to deal with it.
The Wow Factor
What's not to like? Blistering overdrive sounds in your bedroom or not lugging 150# of stack to your job? You need this amp.
