I re-capped and re-valved a friend’s Sound City PA head last year. I can’t say I was over-impressed with the build quality.

 

I seem to recall them being nicknamed ‘Sounds Sh!tty’ but I think that was unfair, it sounded fine.

I bought a Sound City head and cab new in 1978, I don't remember which model but I recall the amp had 4 inputs and I think it was 100 watts. The cab was a 4x10 (or was it 12?). I wasn't experienced enough then to know whether it was decent gear or not, but it was loud and heavy! I ended up trading the head in for a tiny solid state amp at a small music shop in Exmouth -the shop owner thought I was crazy. I don't remember what happened to the cab but that went too and I morphed from the Sound City rig to a little red amp (brand unknown) and a WEM 2x15 which was more portable and worked fine which was all I wanted. Life was simpler then!  And the red of the amp matched the red of the WEM so it looked quite a cool match.
