Thoughts on epiphone amp
Thu, 04/30/2026 - 06:31
Hi folks,
I've been shopping for a go D sounding tube amp for small gigs and open jams.
I found a Epiphone Electar Century RI 18 watt 1x12" tube amp on a local reseller site.
It doesn't seem to come up for harp much. Has anyone ever heard one of these. The specs seem promising, no?

Does the types of tubes used suggest a good possibility of getting good tone from this thing? The 6V6 and 12AX7 tubes are a common pairing in other amps used by harp players, right? So this amp might produce good harp tone, I think? Maybe I'd have to replace the speaker?
Any thoughts from the community?
Thanks!
Eric
