just got mine in the mail today. its amazing. i love it. now i can crank up the volume an really drive the tubes with out any feedback. sounds awesome. i was having massive feedback issues with my new mic. i had to keep the volume just below shuttin off to not get any feedback. takes a little time to get the settings just right. still probably gotta tweak it a bit. i highly recommend this to anyone. esp if you have a high impedance mic an tube amp. special thanks to jason for showing this pedal in his youtube video.

As you know, I have a line on a Valve Jr head. He also has the Eminenece 1x12 - wants $175 for both. Do not see how I can pass it up. He also has a Fender Champ 600 for $150. Leaning toward the Epiphone....

Well, lost the Epiphone. SOmeone snagged it. Based on what I read, that is a better setup than the Fender. I will wait on another.

@dm3801 Guitar Center just lowered the price on Champ 600. $150 is too much. I got a used one for $100. Slight tear on the vinyl that I super glued. You can't even tell it was there.
It sounds pretty good as long as you don't overdrive it. It seems to have a "sweet spot".

Valve junior head into a 12 inch almost anything seems to sound really good. I use 12 inch Jensens..sometimes one, sometimes two. I have played through a 12 inch red fang (eminence) and a vintage 12 inch jensen alnico. My 12 inch jensens are ceramic jch 12/70 (chicago series)and made for guitar, but sound as good as the red fang..but it takes two to get the same volume as one red fang. I have read only good things about the lady luck speaker...even for harp.

I have a Valve Jr plugged into 2 10" celestions (from a Marshall Micro-Stack) sounds killer. I had a Valve Special combo, but it didn't seem to have the same "Magic" I think I like my Fender Pro Jr (12AU7, and 12AT7)a bit better than the Valve Jr. just because I can get more volume out of it. I think that EL34 power tubes tend to sound a bit chimey, but they can be EQ'd for a better tone. Really like my '59 bassman RI, but it's not practical for practice.

VJr uses an EL84 not a 34. If Modded properly I like the VJr but I still want the Kinder antifeedback. So whoever has one and doesn't like it and wants to sell it to me cheap just speak up!!.....I'm waiting......C'mon we found something everyone loves?

How did you pay for the Anti Feedback? There is no Paypal link, I have sent him an email asking about details, no response yet

Bluzdude, I have the valve junior and have the components to complete the mod as described in the lone wolf site. I have thus far made only 2 changes, increased the power filtering capacity by replacing one of the caps for a higher value and switched out the coupling caps with .47 uf caps. It already sounds good, and before I make the rest of the changes, I would like to hear what a modified epi sounds like, do you have any samples?

No I don't have any samples, unfortunately. I stopped modding amps when I realized I have more then I'll ever need and Have been busy playing a lot of acoustic harp with a couple different guitarists and actually practicing my guitar more. I am a victim of too many hobbies I'm afraid. I need to catch up and get pics, sound recordings and videos accomplished that I've been meaning to do.
I'll tell you that I stopped without doing the line out because I like the Eminence speaker factor. but I did do the treble cut which cuts down some of the mid range squelches. If you have a newer version like the v3 it already did some of the mods in the last retooling from the factory. The treble cut is easy and worth it. Gives you some control depending on the room you are in. My Epi is pretty much my home practice and mic testing amp now. I use the Bassman LTD for stage sound. I really will try to get some recordings after I get back from PA this weekend.

I have the version 3 epi. I like the eminence too. The epi is less harsh sounding than my fender champ. I have been looking for post and pre-mod samples before I start drilling the chassis and making other irreversible changes, including the treble cut. So, I would look forwad to any postings you can make.

Hey Leonid, I have an anti-feedback + also and I know you will think this dumb but I could not get a hold of this guy. Apparently this is his MO. I just sent him a check with my info and 2 weeks later I had it.

You're lucky. I sent my money order on Nov 10 and according to the tracking, it got there on the 16th. I'm still waiting and have had no luck contacting him by phone or e mail. hmmmmmmmm

Great pedal! However, I like mine to just take care of feedback from a hot room...and not to crank an amp beyond where it would normally run. I have a demo vid of the pedal on YouTube with amps I no longer use.
