Chris Horton Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) Hi , Has anyone used an Epifani 502 or the Picallo amp ? What do they think of them ? Many Thanks Chris Edited April 23, 2010 by Chris Horton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Seems to work best with Epi cabs. Immediately useable tone, loud, reliable and light. Used mine for 2+ years firstly with a UL310 and then with UL112/T112NYC. Sold it when I got an Orange AD200B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan_da_man Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I have a PS600 which is the same head without a few small features. I love this amp, every note is clear and punchy but at the same time it also provides a lot of clean power and the bass cuts through so easily. I traded my TC Classic for it, thats how good it is.

lozbass Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) I've been using one for around 3 years - the prices have come down in the UK and I'd say they're a good buy. Reasonably light, powerful and very clean. Very immediate and present - agile and responsive. Quite a hifi tone, and very hifi with a hifi bass (Sei etc.). Great for jazz and fusion, and can be hard- edged for finger funk. Ver even across the range - I don't find the highs brittle (with an Epi cab) - probably more 'airy' (this is how I've found them described). As OBBM says, great tone out of the box but eminently teakable (low and hi mids are easily controlled and boominess or boxiness in a live setting can be eliminated without much hassle). I don't use a lot of grit in my tone so haven't tried to get that. However, I've used the amp for bluesy rock and it performed really well - a big, fat, dark tone with a Warwick SSII. At around £650-700 second hand, these are a steal (and build quality is superb). I've had mine up against a LMII - I was impressed by the latter but the Epi was streets ahead in the departments that matter to me.
