Never heard an Epiphone Valve Junior sound like this before!!!

The guitar probably helps too mind!

The EVJ can certainly bark and grind when you crank it but it has a tendency to sound pretty dark.  That old LP is probably pretty bright for a humbuckers guitar thanks to low output PU’s.

It helps that they’re using the cabinet - my best results with the VJ have been when using cabinet sims to PA, then it can sound gigantic.  Still pretty much a one trick pony though.

Also there’s a lot of room sound in that video which takes away from the one dimensional impression the amp can give.

It doesn't sound great, hence all the verb. Now if they'd plugged into an AC30!

Less shit than usual? Yes, if you’re familiar with what great guitars through bad amps sound like, you can almost hear how good the guitar is .
