Epifani was started by Nick Epifani in 1994. But the roots of Epifani go way back to another place; Italy, where Nick was born.

Before making equipment, Nick was a working musician, playing guitar and drums. While he studied electronics in Italy, Nick's path to the USA came as a singer and guitar player. However, it was not long after Nick arrived here that he found himself re-engineering other people's designs. He did it because he saw the flaws that no one else seemed to notice. So Nick fixed them, just to get the sound he was looking for. But guitar was easy. Bass was a much harder task. He started out to build just a few bass cabinets, but bassists started to line up to get them. So Nick decided it was time to put down his guitar and sticks and start the bass cabinet business for real. The Epifani Custom Sound got underway officially in 1994.

The products that put Epifani in the minds of bassists around the world were the NYC at first and then the UL cabinets. This line changed the perception of what a bass cabinet can be - more accurate sound and less weight. While Epifani did start as a custom bass cabinet maker, they but quickly moved into the study of bass amplifiers. Nick was working on his first digital amp - in 1999! That's more than a decade ago and years before most others even heard of digital amplifiers. The last few years have seen the expansion of Epifani sound to new products in all price ranges. Epifani now offers an 'entry' line called EpiFunky, and a new top range of speakers call UUL. Epifani also features a 'classic' sounding range called Performance Series.
