Gibson | Falcon Combo Amplifiers
Inspired by the iconic Gibson Falcon and Skylark amps from the 1950s and 1960s, the new Gibson Falcon combo amplifiers pay homage to Gibson’s legendary past as one of the world’s first manufacturers of electric guitar amplifiers—and they’re now available at Chicago Music Exchange!
Designed by renowned amp pioneer Randall Smith and the MESA/Boogie team, each Falcon combo amp is hand-built in Petaluma, California, and comes equipped with the constructional upgrades and tonal improvements unearthed over Randall’s five decades of tube-amp design, reimagining Gibson’s vintage amp designs and setting a new bar in tiny-amp tone!
Soar to New Sonic Heights with a Gibson Falcon Combo!
Ideal for that demanding touch-sensitive, nuanced responsivity at the low end of the gain and power spectrum, with a harmonically rich blend of vintage power-amp overdrive when turned up, a lower-powered amp like either of the new Falcon combos is key to achieving that cranked power amp sound without overwhelming volume levels.
With a focus on great tone and ease of use, the Falcon 5 (1x10), Falcon 20 (1x12), and Dual Falcon (2x10) feature a simple, pure signal path design, with controls consisting of Volume and Tone, but with added Reverb—an uncommon, yet, welcome feature on tube amps of this size and wattage. Plus, the Falcon 20 models boast an additional footswitchable Tremolo effect.
Gibson Dual Falcon 20 2x10” Combo Amp
The Gibson Dual Falcon 20 combo lets users select two foot-switchable Gibson Falcon preamps, providing easy access to its wide range of tonal possibilities. Equipped with dual vintage-voiced 10” Jensen Blackbird Alnico speakers, the Dual Falcon 20 boasts two 6L6 Power Tubes and provides three levels of expressive, vintage Gibson tone and feel, giving users the option to choose between Full (15-watt), Half (6-watt), or Low (2-Watt) power modes of patented Multi-Watt, Pure Class A Power—or, 12-watt, 5-watt, or 1-watt, respectively, with optional 6V6 Power Tubes.
Gibson Falcon 5 1x10” Combo Amp
The Falcon 5 is brought to life by a 10” Jensen Blackbird Alnico speaker with a unique mid-enhanced voice chosen to complement the volume range and single-ended Class A power section.
Enhanced with a built-in Power Attenuator, the Falcon 5’s power section lets players choose between Full (approx. 7 watts) or Low (approx. 3 watts) power settings, providing even more ways to transition in and out of clip seamlessly and musically, making the Falcon 5 an ideal amp for intimate gigs, home practice, and recording purposes.
Gibson Falcon 20 1x12” Combo Amp
Outfitted with a vintage-voiced 12” Jensen Blackbird Alnico speaker, the Gibson Falcon 20 combo allows even more power flexibility, letting players select between Full, Half, or Low (12-watt, 5-watt, or 1-watt) power modes of patented Multi-Watt, 6V6, Pure Class A Power—or 15-, 6-, or 2-Watts with optional 6L6 Power Tubes—providing three levels of expressive, vintage Gibson tone and feel.
