Back in the late Thirties when the electric guitar was still in its infancy, Epiphone produced a variety of Electar model amplifiers to pair with their electric guitar models.
The Century and Zephyr amps were designed to go with Epiphone’s classiest, top-of-the-line electric guitar models with the same names. Unlike most amps produced at the time, which resembled luggage, the Century and Zephyr amps were housed in maple or birch cabinets with tasteful art deco styling that looked right at home on stage in the upscale nightclubs where they were often used.
Epiphone recently introduced a reissue of the 1939 Century amplifier.
This compact 20-watt 1x12 combo faithfully reproduces the original version’s cabinet down to the six-point screws, grill cloth and chrome-plated carrying handle while offering a newly designed tube amp circuit.

I would love to own one of those so I can play 50's rock and roll tunes through it!
Fresh outta the box, I see.;)
I'd much rather prefer that we talk about that Gary Clark Jr. Casino you've got.
+Sonny1096 wut dat"p
Is this the GCJr. Signature Epi Casino?
I don't know, but it makes me want a bigsby on my Casino
That is one of the Gary Clark casinos
PURE ORIGINALITY......... ;)
I was hoping for a bit more head room. Being offered as a 1939 I was hoping it would work for jazz. At the lower clean volume I don't think it would be loud enough.
greatvanzinni I own this amp, if you change the bias it is total clean when cranked.. loud enough to play with a blues band, or a rockabilly outfit.. gets a little lost with full on rock band, but the right pedal can boost your volume. i changed the pre amp tubes for a richer sound and the speaker has a break in period. my only big issue is that the construction does not seem very sturdy..i had to tighten all the screws and in some cases fill the holes and re tap them as the wood is very soft
Rob D Thanks a ton. That is actually very helpful!
+Rob D what tubes did you sub?
put a jj 12ax7in v1 and 5751 in v2,.could probably use a 12au7 then turned the bias down until it was nice and full sounding just using my ears
+Rob D could you post a video on how it sounds ?
that guitar looks pretty sleek
Gary Oak signature?
More interested in the Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Gary Clark Jr. "Blak & Blu" Casino hardtail version.
Please teach me the model number of the guitar
Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Gary Clark Jr. "Blak & Blu" Casino with Hardtail or Bigsby
Thanks
Take a bath Paul!
I love that guitar, but the amp, not so much.
More interested in the guitar than the amp...
Sounds very muddy, stale and has no character whatsoever.
