I love the part where the guy cuts up his less than stellar carvings! That's what's missing in today's youth...they are all being told they are perfect and special...self esteem my @$$
We need to teach them values and principles and how to EARN their way!!!

Exactly that and trophys for participation. If you dont work for it, put some sweat into it then it is not worth it.
I liked how the interview were 7 years apart but the stories did not change. They stayed true. Damn I need another Mesa now.

I was never a fan because I don't care for the Dual Rectifier of the Metal days. But after listening to him talk and his love of
old Fenders I'm a believer now! I will get a Mesa at some point!
Glad to see he's not a Paul Reed Smith! Right RVA???
It was some sort of aged wood...
Yes. Like this one. One of our guitar colleagues walked in with it. I also played a chum's brand new Fender 57 Custom Deluxe Front Row 1x12 that had some sort of hyper-ridiculous $7,000+ pricetag.
Unbelievable prices for amazingly ordinary sounding amplifiers, IMHO.

It's an Epiphone So Cal 50H: 50/25watt head [2*EL34s + half power switch], quasi 2 channel amp w/shared EQ, has a switchable Independent/Interactive EQ circuit, 3-Band +presence, Reverb, 2 button footswitch, no FX Loop. It works for Rock/medium Hard Rock. It's light! Especially compared to the Mesas and that 6505+ at the bottom of the picture. Got it used at GC with its' matching 412S cab halfstack. Unbeknownst to me the previous owner went nuts on the inside with a soldering iron just moving poop around changing caps and resistors with apparently no clear purpose. As it stands now, there are modifications and extra switches that don't do anything at all to enhance the sound and some of the stock controls are limited in their functionality because of the haphazard nature of the mods. I will eventually get it back to stock and reevaluate it.
As a side note, the original circuit board layout was done by Mike Soldano. I believe the board is also used on the Epiphone Blues Custom 30.

Good to know. Now I can cross you off of my $hit list. Now for the rest of the world...now that is SOME INFO!
Good luck getting it sorted--- for the record (I hate soldering) --- so I would NEVER do that to an amp --
