Any Interest in Fully Modded Valve Junior Combo?

[duhvoodooman***]

C'mon! One of you droolers has to have a tax refund check comin' from your good ol' Uncle Sam! Or how about that economic stimulus refund we're all supposed to get from Dubya?? Throw some of that stimulation at Duh Voodoo Man and get yourself one MIGHTY FINE AMP in return!! :

trust me....as a sole proprietor tax time is not a cash cow time for me...uncle sam has it in for those of us who choose to lay it on the line and work for ourselves :

I'd love to...first, my wife would kill me; second, it would sit here until I really figured out how to use it (which would be a shame) and third, did I mention my wife would kill me? : but man, it looks great!

Not only you.

Nice job DVM

I have to pass, but I wrote my guess as to who will buy it behind this line ----------

Oh the temptation........resist Steve....resist....

grumble, grumble, me too. Plus, I have put time over the winter into my skiing job that is very personally rewarding, but not as financially rewarding as my desk job. I have been working the throttle the last few weeks to try to get the motor hitting the sweet spot for revs in the power band again. We are very likely going to roll that refund check right over into savings for next year's taxes too.

Dude, you're listening to the wrong voice in your head! The one that's saying "I want that amp, I need that amp, I gots to have that amp!"--now that's the voice you should be heeding!

i might need to start a new thread on this but since it is a question about modding a valve jr i thought i would tag it on here....

vood....how hard would it be to take the jr you modded and add another mod that would cut the watts down to say 1 watt.....is that even possible....like a toggle switch....5 watts or switch to 1 watt....just curious....

Great question Warren......

Warren & Kazz, to avoid hijacking this thread any further (this is, after all, the For Sale/Trade forum), I'll post a response to Warren's question in the Mods forum.

In the meantime, I've made further progress in getting the amp into a "sale-ready" condition. It's amazing what a little Murphy's oil soap and some Armor All can do (not to mention a wee bit of epoxy here and there on small tolex tears). The amp cleaned up very nicely, and while it wouldn't be mistaken for brand new, it looks pretty darned good, I think. In the last picture, I intentionally tried to take a shot of the top at an angle that would show the tolex nicks along the left-top edge as you view it. From most angles & under normal lighting (as opposed to a camera flash!) you wouldn't even notice these unless you get close and scrutinize the amp. The small white flecks are just camera flash reflections off the surface:







Last thing remaining to do is to make up & apply label decals for the new controls & jacks....

Nobody bought it yet?

DVM, What speaker you have in it? And the most important: would you send the amp to Brazil?

Sorry to further hijack this thread but I've got to say that I'll bet you I'm the only one that recognized Jimmy Page in your new avatar Iago. LOL

Ok now buy Voodoo's amp you won't regret it!

Comments on Warren's power-reduction question posted HERE.

To answer Iago's question: Geez, I dunno, man. International shipment tends to be such a hassle. I'll check it out further, but I really don't know if I'd want to get involved with shipping outside the US or Canada. I wouldn't even entertain the idea, if I didn't already know that you're a "righteous dude"!

It still has the stock Epiphone speaker in it, which isn't bad. I can upgrade that upon request, and would add just the cost of the speaker + shipping; no charge for the installation, which is pretty trivial.

[warren0728]

because i'm such a nice guy...iago go ahead and pay vood and have him send it to me....then next time you are in the states we can get together again and i'll hand deliver it to you!!

Man, I was really afraid no one would notice hahahaha!

Actually I have/had a stock Valve Jr. But its in the US! I could not bring it with me cos there was simply no more lugagge to put it in. I told my mate that if he found anyone interest he could sell it. Since I kinda lost touch with him I dont know what happened to the amp it`s been some months.

Since I`m gonna move (for the 364th time in my life) to an apartment in 1 or 2 months and my 2x12 50 watt amp takes the space of half of my room (I`ve been to the building already) having a small tube amp would be pretty cool again, specially if it has some interesting mods...

But the issue is that I can`t use Paypal at the moment, and that`s what most eBay sellers take. So only bank wire etc would do it for me.

[Iago]

Warren since I`ll have to wait a bit to go to the US again (studying and studying..), so I better have an amp delivered to me right away! The neighbors will kick my *** out if I can`t resist to turning that amp up loud
