Hey guys this is what i got done today as far as my plans to mod a valve junior and make a very cool small setup.

Today I (*Update* :

1-Bought the tone mod off ebay

2-Bought 2 JJ El84's

3-Bought 3 behringer pedals for it, Eq,Gate,Phaser

4-Bought a 1x12 in purple with silver grill

5-Bought purple tolex to re-tolex the VJ

6-Bought nickel corners for the vj to match the cab


My plans are to next buy 1 or 2 1x12 cabs in purple tolex and then re tolex the VJ in purple to match it, what do you guys think?

Also heres a mockup of it and a soundclip (not done by me)



Its much more atomic purple looking then it truely will be in the end
