Hi guys,
I got an Epiphone Valve Jr head last summer, and I've finally decided to mod it. I know how to solder as I do work on my guitars electronics, but I'm pretty noob when it comes to resistors and capacitors. So, I want to change a few resistors in my amp, but I'm not sure what kind to use. I got some 1/4 W 5% resistors, but they're smaller than the ones in the amp. Should I get 1 W resistors? My board looks like this.
It's my first attempt at amp modding. I did the "jumpy" mod (cut the JP1 jumper) and soldered each end to a switch. This way I get a "bright/gain boost", and I love it. I'm starting to see the potential of this little amp.
Anyway, thanks for your help!
