the ValBee is one of the better small amps out there IMO. do not expect immaculate default tone though (attributable to the small driver), but the basic offerings for a good voicing's there. wish there's reverb...

Wow, looks really interesting. I guess he won't be telling us how it goes now, that's a shame.

I looked at these before I got my Epi Valve Special. Would probably have bought one if I could have found one to audition!

Re: Ibanez valbee valve amp

i had one and it was a great amp for the money. With a JJ ECC 803s it had incredible cleans and i got the distortion from a rocktron silver dragon. Distortion isn't the best but the cleans can be great once you put some nice tubes in there(the stock ones are complete and utter crap). Actually having a FX loop and active eq on such a small amp makes it really flexible and that small 6,5" speaker doesn't sound as small as it looks.
