Hi all, first post here. I wish I had known about this place sooner, there seems to be a lot of great information here. Anyway, I'm curious about the 50 Cal+ that I own, hopefully some of you can give me some info on it (if there is any to give). I've never known another person who'd even played one (weird, I know) so it's really interesting to see all the posts about it.
I'm guessing I bought it in '96, from the Hollywood store. It was the only one left at the time, I think I paid around $750 for it. I actually stopped playing around 2000 and haven't touched it since but I'm playing again so I'll be replacing all the tubes for a fresh start. Although the first step is to buy a new guitar, lol. It's in really good condition, I'm just missing the Lead knob (which I didn't even notice until tonight...i have no idea when I lost it). The inspection card and red caution tag are still attached to the power cord as a matter of fact. I'll clean it up and take a few pics, it's red leather.
I'm just wondering if there's anything interesting about this era of 50 Cals in particular. I actually can't wait to start playing again because I never came close to exploring its possibilities at the time, I was pretty much a metalhead. Thanks for your help
Almost forgot, does anyone have links to soundclips of the amp in action? I'd love to hear what it can really do while I get it ready.
