This Epiphone Valve Junior mod package combines BitMo’s 2 most popular kits - The Duo Tone/Fat Boost Control and the 3 way Voicing/Gain Switch Provides a total of 6 unique voicings and gain settings - all the voicings of the Tweaky / Spanky, Brat and more. - Almost like a modeling amp but 100% analog tube tone! As you must know, these amps are great for modifiers and tweakers – and for good reason. They are a real bargain, very well built, easy to modify and can be made to sound great! Adding the BitMo Trio Mods brings new dimensions to this amp. BitMo Duo Control Combines a Tweed Style Tone Control and Fat Boost switch into one push-pull pot! The Duo kit contains the parts, instructions, drilling template and decals for a Tweed Style Tone Control that goes from mellow to bright and doesn't suck the life out of the signal chain. Plus, when you pull the knob out, a healthy dose of Fat Boost is added. With the switch off, the tone is similar to a tweed Fender Princeton or a Vox AC-5. You can go from sparkling clean (without the mud!) to to a great blues overdrive. With the knob pulled out, you get a fat boost in bass and gain and the tone control goes from a full-bodied clean, through a nice full-throated crunch, all the way “to 11” with a range from sweet singing distortion to a raging mayhem. This mod actually involves 3 different areas of the amp circuit. All positions of the control give ranges of voicing that respond to your touch and the setting of the volume control on the amp and on the guitar. BitMo 3-Way Voicing/Gain Switch The kit contains the parts and instructions for a 3-way switch that controls voicing, gain, and overdrive characteristics of your EVJ. The first position of the switch goes from the clean to the overdrive but with a bright option to voice it more like an "American Blackface". The second, "British" position boosts the bass, mids, and gain and adds a nice crunch. The third "Top Boost" position goes from sweet singing distortion to a raging mayhem. All three positions have distinctively different voicings that respond to your touch and the setting of the volume control on the amp and on the guitar. It works especially well with the the BitMo Duo Control giving a total of six voicings to this amp. BitMo Music Company uses quality parts like Sprague orange drop and silver mica capacitors - a BitMo betta. Check out the quality of the BitMo decals! Applied properly, they look like the factory labels. Recommend tube upgrades: Standard: One JJ 12AX7 and one medium bias JJ EL84 Creamy Overdrive Distortion: One Tungsol 12AX7 and one low bias JJ EL84 Note: BitMo kits do not include tubes. For an idea of how tube changes will affect the amp's sound check out this article at www.gearscore.com. Warnings, etc: While these mods are easy to do and reversible, you will void the warranty by soldering and drilling. The kit will work with both Epiphone Valve Junior head or combo (original or updated Version 2 or 3, but V2 or V3 is highly recommended and the instructions and support only cover V2 and V3). Tools you will need – screwdriver, soldering iron, solder, eyeglass screwdriver, wire stripper, needle nosed pliers, spray on acrylic sealer for the decals, and drill/bits. There can be some dangerous voltages in tubes amps so be careful! Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours. |
