Want a really smooth and rich tone with less grit? This is the Gold pin Option Retube Kit for the Epiphone So Cal 50. The preamp section uses five Gold Pin ECC83S's with one balanced for the phase inverter in V4. The default power tubes are a matched pair of the JJ Electronic E34L’s but you can configure this kit to use the JJ EL34II's, EL34’s, KT77’s, Big Bottle 6CA7’s, 5881's or the JJ 6L6GC's by clicking on the "Customize" button.
These are adjustable bias amps and all you need to check and adjust the bias is a bias probe and a Multimeter, or our all-in-one Eurotubes "Pro One" bias probe that reads both the plate current and the plate voltage simultaneously. You can find all these under the Related Products Tab. You can use the "Generic Bias Video" we made using a Marshall 800 for reference. The video below explains the difference between bias probe types.
