Gibson Falcon 5 7-watt 1 x 10-inch Tube Combo Amplifier
Mint condition never gigged Falcon 5…smoke free home studio, very minimal time on the tubes of a couple hours max..
Upgraded in my opinion from the Jensen to a G-10 Celestion Creamback, also upgraded speaker cable to a more robust Evidence audio Siren II right angle speaker cable & Giestnote reverb cable (See Photo's).
This sale will include 2 matched sets of Mesa Boogie power tubes.
If you have been looking for one of these ..this is the one to buy .. sounds fantastic, great pedal platform a, loud enough to gig or home use /studio you cant beat these small amps for the simplicity and awesome tone.
New feathers for an old Falcon
Envisaged by legendary amplifier guru Randall Smith and the Mesa/Boogie design team, Gibson’s new flock of Falcons take a few choice detours under the hood to better meet the needs of modern guitarists. Vintage amp-obsessed guitarists have nothing to fear — this Falcon’s Class A single-ended design, cathode-biased operation, and dead-simple single-channel signal path all fall well within the confines of Gibson’s historic amplifier designs. However, instead of the original Skylark’s compact 8-inch speaker, this forward-thinking Falcon comes equipped with a fuller and richer-sounding 10-inch Celestion Creamback speaker The result? A more tonally versatile design than Gibson’s original Skylark amplifiers that captures the midrange-rich magic of the original with enhanced bass and superior projection.
Lush Tube-driven reverb
Another famous amplifier manufacturer may get all the glory when it comes to the splashy legacy of spring reverb. However, a little-known fact: Gibson’s original Falcon combo was one of the first amplifiers to brandish built-in reverb years before the competition in 1961. And although the Falcon 5 is largely inspired by the reverb-less Skylark amplifier rather than the Falcon GA-19RVT, one strum through this amp’s cavernous spring reverb section will instantly quell the fears of even the most militant vintage adherents!
2-position power-scaling section
Much more than a strict reissue, the Gibson Falcon 5 boasts a superb set of modern upgrades that bolster its utility without betraying its old-school spirit. Chief among them is an all-new power-scaling section with two positions: Full (7 watts) and Low (3 watt). This Falcon’s Class A power section and sole 6V6 power tube dishes out a surprisingly robust roar before encountering saturation, making the 3-watt Low setting a must-have for guitarists seeking sweet-sounding preamp grit and growling power amp overdrive at non-ear-shattering volumes.
