- Gibson is re-entering the amplifier space with their new amps designed by renowned amp pioneer, Randall Smith, and the MESA/Boogie Design Team. We were lucky enough to get a first look at this amp before they launched. Bottom line, we're impressed. This is a great amplifier that is responsive and marks a notable return to amplifier manufacturing for Gibson.

Yet another amazing thing I'm going to have to try on Sunday... you guys get ALL the great toys!!!
Awesome review. This guy is a great critic.
Sounds pretty great!
But what about the loud fan?
Its garbage, and you know it. What a shame. Show the people whats inside. Youre getting ripped for a grand if you buy this.
yep
@scubacentral9394 buy the bugera 22 for $300. Get a better amp. Haha
Well you just showed your ignorance of how a good amp is actually built. It isn't on a circuit board with preamp tubes mounted to it. $1500 for the 5 watt model? NUTS! You can buy an original vintage 60's era Gibson amp that blows that thing away and will still be working in another 60 years (and at half the price). You should be ashamed of this review, seriously.
Man Gibson is taking people for a ride on this amp cause nobody is opening these amps up to show what is in them. Gibson is more than likely shoving cheap parts in this amp and we will see how long it will be before people start having problems with these amps. Gibson giving you a $500 amp for $1,799. What you wanna bet this amp is nothing more than a Kustom Tube 12.
Brad’s Guitar Garage in Sydney, Australia did and it’s not good. Hand-wired amps don’t have quick connect plugs. These do. It’s another shameless cash grab.
Maybe find out before posting.
Very disappointing..
Gibson and Mesa/Boogie are lying to you.
