Epiphone Valve Junior / Blackstar HT-1

gerarda · 2010-11-19 10:49:46

Hi all, I'm trying to decide on which one to go for? The Epiphone has the potential to become a future classic but the Blackstar is more versatile? Just wondering is 5w Epiphone still to loud for home use compared to the 1w Blackstar? Cheers

The 5 watt gets very loud indeed for what it is. If it was my money i'd get the Blackstar. I have a Fender Champ 600, which is similar enough to the Epi, but it's not versatile at all really, although it does what it does well.
