The new Gibson Falcon amplifiers pay homage to Gibson's legendary legacy as one of the world's first manufacturers of electric guitar amplifiers. The originals served as inspiration and were enhanced with a few new features.
At the core of this fascinating amplifier is a simple single-channel system with a focus on great sound and ease of use. The ultra-simple, clean signal path design features controls consisting of volume and tone, as well as footswitchable reverb and tremolo controls that add dimensionality and depth to the sound.
The Gibson Falcon 20 1x12 Combo is ideal for those who desire a sensitive, nuanced response at the low-to-mid end of the gain and power spectrum, with a harmonically rich blend of vintage power amp overdrive when turned up. This sonic magic is brought to life by the vintage sound of a 12" Jensen® Blackbird 40 Alnico speaker, which perfectly complements the volume range and the Class A power amp. Players can choose between Full, Half, or Low power modes (12, 5, or 1 watt) of the patented Multi-Watt™, 6V6, Pure Class A Power, or 15, 6, or 2 watts with optional 6L6 power tubes.
Randall Smith of MESA/BOOGIE guarantees truly convincing tone and high quality. Smith played a key role in the development of this compact beast, and the amps are exquisitely handcrafted at his company in Petaluma, California.
