Justin Waterfield goes on a blind date with the brand new Gibson Falcon 5 and Falcon 20 amps.  He uncovers the products on camera for the first time and gives his first impressions with authentic reactions. These new amps are a beautiful tribute to the original 60's Gibson Falcon, keeping the physical design and tones amazingly simple. The Falcon 5 has three dials (Volume, Tone, Reverb) and a power attenuator switch. The Falcon 20 has five dials (Volume, Tone, Reverb, Depth, & Frequency for Tremolo) along with a 3-way pentode/triode switch. These gorgeous vintage-style amps are built by MESA/Boogie (a Gibson-owned company as of 2023), which tells you straight away that these amps are the REAL DEAL!

If you feel like getting your classic 60’s & 70’s tones on, Gibson has you covered with the Falcon 5 and Falcon 20 combo amps.
