Abstract
In this note we study a family of graphs of groups over arbitrary base graphs where all vertex groups are isomorphic to a fixed countable sofic group , and all edge groups are such that the embeddings of into are identical everywhere. We prove soficity for this family of groups under a flexible technical hypothesis for called -co-sofic. This proves soficity for group doubles , where is an arbitrary separable subgroup and is countable and sofic. This includes arbitrary finite index group doubles of sofic groups among various other examples.
