Howdy, I bought my first Gretsch a few years ago a Junior Jet, after about a year later I threw a P90 in the bridge HOLY CRAP did it come to life! my current set up is pretty low tech I use a Epi Valve jr and a TS9, I love the great tube sound I can get out of it. My other two guitars are Hoffner Colorama, soon to get P90's too! and a crappy old Yamaha acoustic-electric. I play blues based rock, punk county and rockabilly. My favorite band are Rancid, Social Distortion, Johnny cash and Chris Isaak, and a pretty good so cal lady named Amber Foxx.

Howdy and welcome.
Do the last two characters of your name indicate what tubes you are using in your Valve Junior? If not, what tubes are you using?

Howdy P90, great to have you here. That sounds really cool. And through a tubescreamer into a Valve Jr is an awesome setup.
Love to see what it looks like. Really like to see the Hofner, too.
I played the snot out of a Yamaha accoustic.
Curious what you had to give for the P-90

I have stock tubes in the Valve jr There are plenty of mods out there for this little amp and I plan to get some of them. My next Grestch will mist likely be a G100 to replace the Yammy Pics of the gear will have to wight until next week I have my drill weekend this weekend. Here are some pics of my wife and I to hold you over in the mean time

Hi and welcome P90. Have you seen that Epiphone Riviera with 3 P90s and a Bigsby that Guitar Center has for $499? I would love to try one out.
