LarryUK Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I've just won this on Ebay. Its a Grainger 50 head and cab. It's a re badged Epiphone So-Cal 50. I got it for clean sounds so it'll be ok. It's valve and can be run at 25 watts. Only paid £122! Not bad. Anyone got a manual for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 . Nice. Maybe Epiphone has a download manual for the So-Cal 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This_Dying_Soul Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I've already emailed them. That sounds like a sweet deal. Not sure how that converts to Canadian dollars and too lazy to look it up but I'm sure that's a 50 watt half stack for under $500 CAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, sound clips when it arrives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl00dsm0k3 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 who needs a manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 It's on my van. I'll get it in later. I want a manual because the footswitch doesn't work. I've just opened it and the wiring looks ok. I'll have to test it. I'm going to get an amp switcher now and run it with my H&K Matrix. We'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well. I've got it home and it sounds ok. Only problem is, the footswitch doest work right. You need to pull the jack back out a bit for it to work. I wonder if the jack has been replaced and the new one doesn't match? For some reason, they've taken the badges off too. I've wondered if the grill would look better in chrome or white? On a plus point. I emailed Gibson about the manual and I've received one in PDF form today. Good one Gibson. I need to get it into a big room to give it a good test now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swleary Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Great deal. Could be just a bad pot on the footswitch or bad cord for the footswitch..but none the less, great deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Great deal. Could be just a bad pot on the footswitch or bad cord for the footswitch..but none the less, great deal Probably a bad cable. That's what happened with mine, used a different cable and problem fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Great deal. Could be just a bad pot on the footswitch or bad cord for the footswitch..but none the less, great deal I've never seen an amp footswitch with a pot on it. So is that amp modded at all or is it just a rebranded Epi? Sounds like a cool deal either way. How does the amp sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
