I've got an MI AUDIO "Boost and Buff" pedal on order from ryan.. we troed a few pedals out when i took the amp round to him/.. now with the tone control and gain boost it will be cool to hear how it goes now.

I've noticed a few Australian stores are now selling Legacy amps which are re-badged Epiphones:

(In the link just change the View all brands to Legacy then click View):

The 5 watt Legacy is about $99 cheaper than the Epiphone.

Sounds like a good cheap way of getting a valve junior!

yeah i first saw them when i was in oz hiring gear off billy hydes.. i looked round the intra webby thing and found out that they sell 3 different brand named amps, the Legacy, The epiphone, and some english company..
the legacy was about $250 australian when i was there.. i never got to check it out but luckily found out the epiphone was the same amp..
I'm just looking into swicthing the output transformer with an old fender champ one i can get from a friend down in chch..

Not sure if I mentioned it above somewhere but there's a good Epi Jnr thread here on this Aussie forum:

One of the many deciding factors in my purchase! The shop has four of each model in stock so I'll enjoy trying each of them out first. Nice way to spend a Monday.

just make sure your not buying a version 1 .. they supposedly had alot of extra buzz and noise due to there components.. i have the version 2 and now thety are onto the version 3 already with even better noise reduction , due to some extra wiring i think and a few different caps.. and yeah guy has the Trannsformer.. he is the fender hoarder..hahaha
