I've owned both of them, and the pre-amp distortion is not apt to please you on the the Valve Special. Try to find a used attenuator on E-bay, like a Weber Mass to use with the Valve Jr. and you'll likely be happier with the result. I was a lot happier with the attenuated sound of the Valve Jr. than with the Valve special. A tube screamer in front of the Valve Jr. can work nicely, as well: but it's still not output distortion.
