Gibson Falcon 20 1×12″ 12 Watt Tube Guitar Amplifier Combo

VINTAGE TONE… REIMAGINED!

Gibson is proud to introduce the new Falcon 20 1×12 Combo amplifier. It pays homage to Gibsons legendary past as one of the worlds first manufacturers of electric guitar amplifiers. While inspired by the iconic Gibson Skylark amps from the 1950s and 1960s, this all-new design from renowned amp pioneer Randall Smith and the MESA/Boogie Design Team is handcrafted in Petaluma, California, and delivers vintage tone, reimagined and sets a new bar in tiny amp tone. The Falcon 20 is equipped with all the constructional upgrades and tonal improvements unearthed over Randalls five decades of tube-amp design that deliver nothing less than astonishing results.

The Falcon 20 features single-channel simplicity with a focus on great tone and ease of use. The ultra-simple, pure signal path design has
controls consisting of Volume and Tone, plus the addition of footswitchable Reverb and Tremolo, which add dimensionality and motion and
immensely increase the amps enjoyment and usefulness over a wide range of musical styles.

All this vintage-flavored magic is brought to life via the unique mid-enhanced voice from a 12 Jensen Blackbird Alnico speaker, which perfectly complements the volume range and single-ended Class A power section. The power section is enhanced with a built-in Power Attenuator, allowing players to choose between Full or Low power settings, providing even more ways to transition in and out of clip seamlessly and musically and making the Falcon 20 an ideal amp for intimate gigs, home practice, and recording purposes. With its modern refinements, high-end performance, and boutique construction, the Falcon 20 is a vintage amp dream delivered with a sturdy, consistent modern design ethos.
