. . . with this beastie:
Although badged a Grainger, this is actually an Epiphone So-Cal 50H with the 412 cabinet loaded with Emminance Lady Luck speakers . . . very nice! 5 x 12AX7's and 2 x EL34's make up a hefty output!
Best bit is . . . the head and cab, both brand new, were £199 . . . that's about $400. I think that even competes with USA pricing! It was a weekend only deal and although I didn't need anything like this (yet :wink: ) at that price I couldn't resist!
Still learning the tones though . . . I've got too used to my EVJ's "one knob simplicity". With my Epi LP plugged in earlier though it was producing some mightily fine blues tones! :D I also plugged the BigMuff into it earlier and achieved a good Pink Floyd lead tone too!
I am very very happy! :lol:

Some companies like to test products without losing face if it flops.
That combo looks really nice and I bet the neighbors are hating you about now. :lol:

That looks like one heck of a deal! I bet you can shake the crib with that one, eh?

At that price why dont you send it over to the USA :wink:
Nice buy man have fun.
Yep! I am getting more sounds out of it now - that contour control really shapes things up a lot!
I also put together a footswitch myself earlier this evening:
Unfortunately I neglected to research this first and assumed it'd be just a basic footswitch whenas in fact it also controls the reverb as well as the channel. However, I don't care too much for the reverb and all this one does is it works the channels as expected but simply leaves the reverb disconnected. :)
