My new tube amp- Epi So-Cal 50

My new tube amp- Epi So-Cal 50 · 04:52 PM

I got this amp a few weeks back to replace my older head. I reallllly love this thing. The variety of sounds I can get out this thing is amazing. It takes overdrive pedals really well as well, even on the clean channel. Flip it in to 25w mode and its Class-A too!

Of course it weights a TON, but its worth it. Anyways, here are some shots I took probably 20 mins ago. K100D w/ A 50mm f2 or 18-55mm.

The setup shot. Pentax AF360 @ 1/16 power fired into my old macro studio type thing. Worked well to eliminate harsh shadows.

I love that you have the Gain cranked way up on the amp . Let the the snarl of the Axe ring long and hard.

I was playing some Van Halen today and that plus my MXR Distortion III gave me the tone I needed. Thanks!

Good photos of some cool equipment; black is hard to capture.

I see that the numbers don't go up to 11 though...

Cool amp, cool lighting, cool photos. I always enjoy your posts.

Snazzy shots... I could easily see 1 and 2 in a guitar or recording magazine.

Makes me miss playing an electric... I'm all acoustic these days...

Thanks Hamidlmt!

You should pick up an electric again! They are so much fun.

Phew! Glad you picked up the Spinal Tap reference. My favourite Nigel Tuffnell moment.

Ahh, nothing quite so warm and fuzzy as the vibrating filaments of a matched pair of 6L6 gt's

Nice job
