ESE Custom 150 vintage amp

[ajkula66]

I know this is a long shot but figured it doesn't hurt to try asking here...

 

I've located an "ESE Custom 150" head in the local ads. Solid state, by the looks of it - excellent condition BTW - I'd put somewhere in the mid-to-late '70s. Unfortunately I can't pull pictures from the site.

 

The back plate states "E.S. Electronics" with an address in Maidstone, Kent along with a 5-digit phone number...

 

Has anyone come across these amps, and if so what are your impressions ?

 

Thanks in advance for any and all wisdom that you are willing to share.

I only know that ESE was a music shop in Maidstone who produced their own range of music gear.  Mainly PA but a few other amps and cabs as well.  I never tried any ESE equipment so can't comment on sound or quality.  Sorry.

ESE was Eric Snowball

Great shop and a fountain of information was Eric

He knew about electronics

IIRC he made his own PA stuff and we all rented stuff from him at some point

 

Whatever you have there will be very good quality

 

I bought my first Trace Elliot from him back in 1987
