Repairing this amp made me ANGRY! | Gibson Epiphone Blues Custom 30 Tube Rectifier (Soldano)
In this video we'll repair a c.2005 Epiphone Blues Custom 30W Tube Amp. This model was "designed in a California garage" by Pyotr Belov, with Michael Soldano doing the PCB layout. Gibson got a lot of things right with this amp model, but they got one very big thing WRONG! That's why this one ended up having some BIG problems. We'll troubleshoot all the issues and answer the question: is this amp worth the high cost of repair? You be the judge.
