Sound City 50 Plus/4x12 Half Stack Oblique Rear View Note the Hiwatt-like port which indicates this cab might date back to the period when Sound City cabs were built by the Glarev Company, which for a brief time was also building cabs for Hiwatt. Photos Home Page |

Sound City B120/4x12/2x12 Full Stack DMI-era B120 head and a DMI-era 4x12 cab (L140 or B140) on a Dallas Arbiter-era 2x12 cab (L60 or B60). My apologies for the blurry image. Photos Home Page |

Sound City 50 Plus/L610 Stack A DMI-era 50 Plus head (see also Photo Page 3) sitting on a DMI-era L610 cab (see also Photo Page 12). Neither the cab's grill cloth nor the head's knobs are stock, nor, as it happens, does the cab have its stock Eminence 10s. But it is a very colorful setup nonetheless, and its owner, who says he purchased both items new back in the 70s, says the rig sounds great. God save the Queen! Photos Home Page |

Two Sound City 4x12 Cabinets These two 4x12 cabs are from the early Dallas Arbiter era (note the spring-loaded "door-knocker" handles) and look to be in excellent, like-new condition. Photos Home Page |

Sound City 120/2xB115E Folded-Horn Stack These two B115E folded-horn cabs are from the early DMI era. They were purchased in a package with the L120 on top. The cabs' speakers are the original AlNiCo Eminence 15s. Photos Home Page |
11: Sound City SMF Tour Series Stack This monster stack is from the DMI era. Details on the SMF Tour Series can be found on the Catalogs/Brochures/Price Lists page. This rig looks stock, very clean, and definitely mean. Photos Home Page |
12: Mark 3 L100 Half-Stacks in Creme Tolex/Rexine These Mark 3 beauties were recently purchased from their original owner in Los Angeles. Note the heads' front panels have been modified to be removable, which is really a great mod that allows preamp tubes to be easily swapped. Also note the corners on the cabinets, which were not stock for Mark 3-era cabs. The creme Tolex is a custom color that was available when these were new. The current owner actually remembers seeing these half-stacks in Whalins' Music Store when they were new in ~1971! Finally, these two 4x12 cabs contain Altec Lansing speakers (see second photo below) that were custom-ordered by the original owner. Photos Home Page |
13: A Truly Sick Collection of Sound City Gear Gazzer is indeed a bit mad. Photos Home Page |
14: Mark 3 B100 Full-Stack This Mark 3 stack has seen some miles, and although its grill cloth and speakers are not original, this rig's owner has used Celestions in one cab and Fane "Classic" bass 12s in the other. Photos Home Page |
