Description
Unleash your inner bluesman with the Epiphone Blues Custom 30W 2x12 Combo Amp, a powerhouse that marries vintage charm with modern versatility. This amp is more than just a nod to the past; it's a sonic journey back to the golden age of blues. With its switchable 30W Class AB to 15W Class A capability, the Blues Custom 30 offers a dual-personality experience, allowing you to dial in that warm, saturated tube sound or switch to a cleaner, more refined tone effortlessly.
The amp's innovative Dual Mode EQ provides two distinctive tonal shaping experiences: Interactive mode, where the knobs come to life affecting each other's settings, and Independent mode, for a more straightforward, isolated control over your sound. At its heart, the Blues Custom 30 boasts five 12AX7 tubes in the preamp, two 5881 power tubes, and a 5AR4 rectifier tube, delivering a rich, authentic tone reminiscent of the 1960s. Paired with two 12" Lady Luck Eminence speakers, every note you play resonates with clarity and depth.
Whether you're playing a small club gig or jamming in your garage, the built-in tube reverb adds that extra layer of lushness to your sound. Perfect for the blues enthusiast looking to capture that iconic tone without breaking the bank.

Best amp I've ever used. Hands down.
I am in love with this amp. It has absolutely beautiful cleans, but a smooth dirty channel. You can crank this thing and get it incredibly loud, and it has tons of headroom to spare, there's absolutely nothing to not like about this amp, barring maybe how much it weighs. It's about 80lbs. (~37kg for my friends everywhere that isn't America), so lugging this thing around is a chore, to say the least. Epi really outdid themselves with this amp, it's a shame they're no longer in production.
