Gibson Dual Falcon 20 2x10 Tube Combo Amplifier

Here at Palen Music Center, we are thrilled to see Gibson return to the amplifier world with a stunning reimagining of a classic: the Dual Falcon 20 2x10 Combo. Handcrafted in Petaluma, California, by the legendary Randall Smith and the MESA/Boogie Design Team, this amplifier is a masterclass in boutique construction and vintage voicing. While it honors the aesthetic and spirit of the 1960s Gibson Falcon, the internal architecture has been rigorously updated to meet modern performance standards. The build quality is exceptional, featuring a road-worthy cabinet wrapped in Cream Bronco vinyl and loaded with a pair of 10-inch Jensen Blackbird 40 Alnico speakers that perfectly articulate the amp's complex harmonics and dynamic range.

The heart of the Dual Falcon’s tone lies in its pure Class A power section, driven by a pair of 6L6 power tubes. These tubes provide a rich, punchy low end and a glassy top end that responds beautifully to your pick attack. For those seeking a different flavor of breakup, the cathode-biased design allows you to swap in smaller 6V6 tubes without any modifications, dropping the wattage and offering a spongier, bluesier feel. The unique cathodyne phase inverter driver feeds the power section to create a sound that transitions from warm, detailed cleans to a musical, "controlled implosion" overdrive when pushed.

Versatility is central to the Dual Falcon's design, making it an ideal choice for both stage and studio. Each of the two channels features Gibson's patented Multi-Watt technology, allowing you to independently switch between Full (15 Watts), Half (6 Watts), or Low (2 Watts) power modes. This lets you achieve cranked-amp saturation at bedroom volumes or maintain pristine headroom at gigging levels. To top it off, the amp is equipped with lush, tube-driven spring reverb and a hypnotic tremolo that adds three-dimensional movement to your sound, all accessible via the included footswitch.
