Epiphone has announced the E Series guitar amplifier line, the follow up to the successful Valve Series of amplifiers. E Series amps were first unveiled at the 2005 Musikmesse trade show in Frankfurt, Germany to rave reviews. The new range of amplifiers may gain the attention of both pro and amateur players for its sonic performance, reliability and style.
"With the E Series, we wanted to create a great sounding line of amplifiers with meaningful, not complicated, features,” said Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar. "It all started, by design, with great tone at a great value made for the guitar player. We are making a great amp that’s also a great looking amp. We’re very proud of the results we’re getting very positive reviews and responses from musicians playing them on stage."
The Epiphone E Series uses proprietary “Tube Tone” circuitry to emulate tube response and warmth in a solid state amplifier to create a warm sounding amplifier that is lightweight and robust. Comprised of three models; the Firefly 30DSP a 30 watt combo with a 10” speaker and 17 DSP selections, the Triggerman 60DSP, Triggerman 100HDSP (guitar head) and Trigger Cab (4X12 speaker cabinet), the range has something to offer for every level of guitar player.
The E Series boast details and build quality usually reserved for amplifiers of much higher price. Aesthetic highlights include rich burgundy tolex, 2” cabinet radiuses with meticulous hand covering, vintage basket-weave grille cloth and a cream colored, heavy gauge steel faceplate.
All E Series Amplifiers feature 2 Channels (Overdrive and Clean), 16 Selections of DSP plus separate Digital Reverb, and E Series speakers.
