Since there has been a good amount of discussion as per this amp, I decided to post here.

BTW I just bought new tubes for my Valve Junior head (which is in the mail) and I plan on getting some audio samples up soon.

Awesome! Something strang though, I thought the combo had a little bit different look on the patterns of the face of the amp than the head. And... The combo seems to break up a little earlier than the head. ( But i'm using pearly gates. ) The combo amp has alot more noise than the head, I'm going to assume the DC heaters in the head help that out alot. Great video!

It's an awesome amp, I have the head version. If I were you I'd go for the head instead of the combo.

The head is actually improved in design. The tubes are powered by AC in the combo. They changed it to DC for the head version. So the head will buzz less.
