Soaring to New Heights with the Gibson Falcon Amplifiers: Meet the Falcon 5 and Falcon 20 

In the ever-evolving world of music, the quest for the perfect sound is a journey without end. Gibson, a name synonymous with pioneering electric guitar amplification, has once again set the bar high with the introduction of its latest creations: the Falcon 5 and Falcon 20 tube amplifiers. These compact, low-wattage powerhouses are not just amplifiers; they are a bridge connecting the rich heritage of Gibson's past to the demands of the modern musician.

A Nod to the Past with Eyes on the Future

The Falcon series is a heartfelt tribute to Gibson's illustrious history as one of the original giants in electric guitar amplification. However, these are not mere replicas of bygone models. The Falcon 5 and Falcon 20 are designed for today's stages, home studios, and everywhere in between, offering the kind of versatility that contemporary players crave.

The Essence of All-Tube Tone

Crafted with an eye for elegance, the Falcon amplifiers marry a vintage-style aesthetic with the quality of modern boutique construction. At the heart of their sound are the Jensen® Blackbird 40 Alnico speakers, which, along with spring reverb and onboard power attenuation, deliver a touch-sensitive, harmonically rich American tone. These features come packaged in a compact and portable design, making the Falcons not just amplifiers, but all-tube tone machines.

Designed for Simplicity and Sonic Excellence

The design philosophy behind the Falcon 5 and Falcon 20 is simple: great sound should be easy to achieve. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Gibson amplifiers of the late 1950s and early 1960s, these combos are wrapped in Cream Bronco vinyl and Oxblood grille cloths, exuding a nostalgic charm. However, beneath this vintage facade lie all-new circuits, meticulously developed by Randall Smith and the esteemed MESA/Boogie® Design Team, ensuring that these amplifiers offer something truly special for today's musicians.

In conclusion, the Gibson Falcon amplifiers are a testament to the brand's commitment to quality, innovation, and respect for its heritage. Whether you're performing on stage, recording in a studio, or practicing at home, the Falcon 5 and Falcon 20 stand ready to elevate your sound to new heights. With their blend of vintage charm and modern functionality, these amplifiers are poised to become the new standard for discerning guitarists everywhere.
