Epiphone Jr Hot Rod All-Tube 5-Watt Head - Ltd Number Left
The Epiphone Valve Junior Hot Rod Head guitar amp head gives you amazing, natural tube-driven tone just like the fancy boutique amps, at literally a fraction of the price! The 5-watt Valve Junior Hot Rod Head uses a single-ended Class A tube design, driven by an EL84 power tube. This little powerhouse is perfect for recording, rehearsals, and smaller gigs, and includes gain, volume, and reverb controls. In fact, it can be used as a standalone reverb unit with another amp, thanks to its dummy load output. In the studio, onstage, or in the practice room, the Valve Junior Hot Rod Head comes through with great tube tone!
Don't be fooled by the amazingly low price: The Valve Junior Hot Rod Head brings the tone. It's got a Class A design with a pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes, plus a single EL84 power tube. Five watts might not sound like much on paper, but the Valve Junior Hot Rod Head provides plenty of volume to keep up with a drummer in the rehearsal room or in smaller venues. Plus, you can use it as a standalone reverb tank with another amp, thanks to a dummy load output. Improving on the already impressive Valve Junior, this amp includes gain, volume, and reverb controls for a great range of tones at any volume. Plug this guy into your favorite cabinet (it's got 4-, 8-, and 16-ohm speaker outs), close your eyes, and you'll swear you're playing through a boutique rig.
Low-wattage tube amps used to be the among the best-kept secrets of studio guitarists, but they're quickly becoming must-have recording and rehearsal tools for string-slingers everywhere. Believe it or not, a small, low-output tube amp often sounds bigger on "tape" than its fire-breathing, high-wattage brethren! Why? It's all about putting the power tubes to work: at lower volumes, it's easier to crank up a little amp (like the Valve Junior Hot Rod Head) and make its power section "breath" harder, imparting the tasty, sustain-generating tube compression we all know and love. Though preamp gain is a must for buzzsaw riffs, soulful, dynamic overdrive comes from the engine room of the amp. Also, being able to turn it up to 10 means you can take advantage of your guitar's volume knob for an array of tonal colors at your fingertips.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
