Gibson is proud to be back in the guitar amplifier business! Introducing the Falcon 5 and Falcon 20, inspired by vintage Gibson amps and reimagined for today’s players. These new amps, handcrafted in Petaluma, California, focus on great sound, simplicity, and ease of use. The new Falcon models pay homage to Gibson’s legendary past as one of the very first manufacturers of electric guitar amplification back in the 1930s but offer the versatility demanded on modern stages, in home studios, and beyond.
The Gibson Falcon amplifiers are available now in North America via authorized Gibson dealers and on Gibson.com, with global availability beginning in April 2024.
Watch as Grace Bowers plays through some of the features and tones on the new Gibson Falcon 5 tube amplifier using a selection of Epiphone and Gibson guitars. Listen to the sounds of the Gibson Falcon 5 as Grace demos clean tones, overdriven tones and the fuzz-laden sounds of the cranked 1x 6V6 Power Tube and 3x 12AX7 Preamp Tubes.
The small but raucous Gibson Falcon 5 1x10 tube combo amp delivers around seven watts of single-ended, pure Class A power from a single 6V6 power tube, switchable down to around three watts. Alongside volume and tone controls with a wider, more usable range, there’s a level control for the Falcon 5’s lush onboard all-tube spring reverb, while a 10-inch Jensen Blackbird Alnico speaker helps deliver the Falcon 5’s touch-sensitive, harmonically rich tube tones. The Gibson Falcon 5 is an ideal amp for intimate gigs, home practice, and recording purposes. With its modern refinements, high-end performance, and boutique construction, the Falcon 5 is a vintage amp dream delivered with a sturdy, consistent modern design ethos.

Love the look and sound of these!
I will check them out next time I'm at GC.
Was able to play one at GC recently, really sounded wonderful price notwithstanding
This fuzzy sound is huge ! 🔥
Very touch sensitive and all the sweetness you can get in your tone and volume knobs. Great sounding amps. Love your hair and you got it girl. 👏
I really want to try one. ❤😊❤
Grace is insanely talented.
Awesomeeeeeeee
Yes! love seeing Grace Bowers come up in the ranks of the guitar world. Gibson is killing it with their selection of young artists. And this amp will be added to the GAS list :)
Love the little nod to Epiphone in these vids :)
ill stick with my epiphone valve jr 😂 boy that price !
I’d love to hear Julian Lage play one of these with his band. He’s the ultimate no pedal guitarist.
They should send one to Matthew Scott.
He uses several pedals.
@@chaz32 what pedals ?
@@chaz32 Last rig rundown I saw he was using a boost and a touch of reverb - only occasionally - from a Strymon Flint. So two pedals.
they sound great but a 5 watt amp at 1499.00. i cant see many selling
I like low powered amps. Their breakup just feels right to me.
Great stuff.
Love you playing the SG.
My favorit.
Nice amp, but i already have one.
A "CHARLIE ",you can switch from Electric guitar to acoustic guitar.
Love your playing, you're verry smooth.
👍😁👊
J' adorais avoir cette ampli. Mais il est trop cher. ❤
Amazing Grace .. sounds delicious
Just my opinion, for $1500 it should be at least br 16 watts, 16 just to be different but Gi son and other big names create the illusion of major superiority by over pricing.
A possible contender for the SR 611705 from Monoprice 😏
Price?
1.5k for 10inch, 1.8k for the 12inch
Guy complaining about the price. Its hand wired, and built in the US. Boutique amp makers charge 2k+ for low wattage amps. If it's not for you, then it's not for you
Ya except this is made by Gibson a brand that doesn’t have a great track record.
@aquatichighs based on what? Every brand has low points and the last 10 years, they've been great
People would be far better off buying a vintage 60’s Gibson amp for less than half the price. “Guy complaining about the price” isn’t stupid. This is clearly not a good value for the money. Heck, I got a mint condition 60’s Skylark for $250 7 years ago. Replacing the caps, speaker, and power cable isn’t particularly expensive.
@uponcripplecreek1 ok im saying compared to new built in usa boutique amps that charge the same or more for the low wattage amps. Im not talking about vintage amps sir
It's a cheap PCB amp. Way overpriced!
Made in ?
California at the Mesa Boogie factory.
@charlesbit minds well say made in Mexico.olton8471
En Gibson no son tontos! 😄
The should have asked Marcus King to try it out.
$1500 for a 5 watt amp what a bargain i will have three.
Nope. I bought the 5. I'm a Gibson lover, not a hater, but it's not good. I'm very disappointed. 1 trick pony. It's good for natural OD at 7 to 9 o'clock. Lame cleans and not the touch sensitive. I like my amps to be somewhat percussive. It's not. Try again Gibson. If it was $799 I would still bring it back. My 2004 GA5 is a better amp. I played the 20 in the store. Same thing. Love the look. But. Even my wife said send it back. I bought it for my Den. I was going to replace my pro jr with it. She said the pro jr sound beautiful, the gibson doesn't.
You can't seriously be charging 1,5k for a 5 watt amp...
Monoprice stage right have 5 and 15 options that are both below $300. Are they as nice? No, but they have built in attenuation and you can swap out the speakers
You seriously don’t think you can just name a price. Thats not how the free market works.
@PedroFreire95 Power is cheap. Notice how it's $300 difference for about double the power and a larger speaker in the Falcon 20, not another $1.5K more. You're paying $1.5K for a handwired, heirloom, made in America amp. See Magnatone, Tone King, or any other boutique maker with low watt amps going for $2-3K. Or look at the price difference between Fender or Vox's handwired vs. mass production amps.
If this kind of amp is your jam, that's cool. If that's not important to you, then that's cool too. But maybe if you made an effort to learn why something is more expensive - handmade by American labor (with American wages) as opposed to something made overseas with cheaper materials - you might understand why a product like this exists and why someone would buy it.
If pay that for an original Gibson amp or for a similar handwired amp in my country (Australia).
@soundknight yeah can verify it's pretty common here in Australia
That 80's hairdo rooooocks, man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nothing else, unfortunately.
everthing is digital nowadays and more and more musicians make the step to kempers .... So to justify this amp NOW at THIS price ???? If it would sell at same price as blues junior yes maybe but 2200 euro for a 1X12 amp .Pffff no
whats fucking happen in 0:55 ？？？？？？
changing guitars requires "artistic video editing"
What a lucky guitar!
Love the female artists from gibson and the guitars 💅
LOL, I thought you were going to play a new guitar model.
Same thing for $100 from monoprice, 5 watt tube amp
no reverb tank on my 5 watt Stage Right amp though....the 20 watt has it
NOOB LİGMA
yeah it's real artist. not fake.
She just did an ad for Neural DSP's Morgan Amp's Suite. They sound better imo, if not just as good. And you get 3 amps & 6 pedal's for literally 1/15th of the price.
Stop overpaying for gear, just because they tell you its fancy & has a certain name on it!
Man. I love all the haters on this already…”it’s too expensive”, “free market doesn’t work like that”, and blah blah blah… I guarantee all those people making those comments buy $1500 iPhones on a semi annual basis. The last time I checked, Music was an expensive hobby. If you don’t like it, find something else to do.
Hahaha... what a tool. I have a JCM 800 I paid $600 for. Now they're over $3,000. Nothing justifies that price except greed.
@@damone70 when did you buy it 1986? And did you buy it new out of the box? I bet you have an iPhone. It’s called supply and demand and if they sell then we’ll all know who the tool is boomer…
@@dustinbeisley5428 Not only the iPhones, ask them how many damned pedals they’ve blown their money on trying to make their cheap, crappy amps sound like something that’s actually good. There’s only one reason that people complain and put down high priced items like this, and that’s jealousy. They can’t afford one (as you said, often due to blowing cash on needless stuff) and it totally pisses them off that there are some folks who can. Instead of admitting that it’s currently out of their price range and moving on, they have to convince the rest of the world that it’s an overpriced, substandard product that no one should even consider purchasing. Fortunately, such comments, while extremely annoying, hold next to no value to anyone with a decent set of ears.
@@damone70Actually it’s called business. These companies have to make money to stay open and pay employees. Everything today is more expensive. It’s not the 80s anymore.
@@dustinbeisley5428 Nice assumption, Bozo. Gen X over here, and I bought mine in the late 90s.
So it doesn't djent i guess.
Meh
I hate how Guitar industry has become this b.s. of must have must have must have. It is a game that guitar players are easily sucked into. here is a thought. stop buying stuff and play what you already have.
It's always being like that man, always, it's not new. Boys will be boys with their toys man. Love my gear and will keep buying
Then why are you watching new gear videos to begin with? If you followed your own advice, then there’s nothing about this that should bother you. There’s NOTHING here that’s a “must have” - no one has a gun to anyone’s head. If you’re happy with what you’ve got, keep it and play it. If you’re not happy with your sound, it makes sense to educate yourself about what else is available that you might like better. Some people like variety, and that’s okay as well. If they can afford to have four or five (or more) different amps, what’s the harm? People collect all different kinds of things, not just guitar amps. I personally find collectors to be a lot more interesting and knowledgeable than folks with no interests or hobbies. I certainly can’t afford this amp, and may never be able to, but I can appreciate its capabilities and would love to own one. I would never begrudge anyone else such a purchase.
Stick the boss katoana losers lmao
lol how did she make it sound so bad? You selected her because she looks good?
That's the blues from the trenches...She really picked-up that cotton and it hurts...
How nice for her. But what about the amp? Any impressions of it, or just gushing praise for the player?
Another amp only the elitist can afford
Overpriced and over-hyped!
The great thing is you don’t have to buy one.
Looks like somebody's removing comments they don't like. Screenshot taken for future reference/proof. Be honest...even about unfavorable comments.
Sounds nice. Way overpriced.
This was one of the most underwhelming demos I’ve seen. Nothing played here would ever inspire me to buy this amp. It was nothing more than typical guitar noodling. When one of the comments here is “I love your hair”, you know that the playing itself was quite forgettable. Fortunately, the longer demo with Dinesh was of much higher quality and really showed what these amps are actually capable of. Without that, I wouldn’t have thought twice about this amp. Gibson should stop trying to get the latest artists to demo their products - it takes more than just being a professional musician to do a demo which showcases the product rather than own their playing. Very few players actually have that ability, and this demo was no exception.
Supposedly she’s very good according to the comments. I’m not sure why they used this instead of her at her best.
@@aquatichighs I’m sure she’s good at what she does, but that doesn’t make her good at demoing amps. There’s no shame in that - even the best players out there don’t usually have that ability. It takes a unique talent to showcase something like this without turning it into a showcase of your own playing. Once the focus shifts from the sounds coming out of the amp to the finger work on the fretboard, the demo has failed. I don’t know if Gibson really understands that.
Distortion sounded terrible and the clean was just average. Playing was very good but man disappointed in the tone.
Why is Gibson using 'noodlers' to demo its new amp???
We are musicians, we need to hear musicians playing music!
But you were able to hear the nice tone of the amp. She’s a musician as well. Just because you don’t know who someone is, doesn’t mean they aren’t one. I don’t know who you are, but I’m not going to doubt you’re a musician. Eventually, you’ll have more musicians to watch demonstrate this amp.
You need to get out more. She’s pretty well known as a musician and not a bedroom noodler.
jealous much
I agree with you 100%. If I’m going to consider the possible purchase of an amp, I need to hear EVERYTHING that amp is capable of doing. This video was a rather dull demo of her playing, but showed next to nothing of the amp’s capabilities. As such, it was a complete waste of time for anyone other than her hardcore fans. The reality is that most players, regardless of skill, don’t have the ability to provide such a comprehensive demo since they only play in the one - or maybe two - styles they’re comfortable with.
@@BloozestringerBeing well-known has absolutely nothing to do with it. This demo did a terrible job of showcasing the amp. She could have been playing through anything and it wouldn’t have sounded much different. This is the problem with 90% of online demos today - someone needs to tell these people that it’s the amp that should be the focus, not the player.
All Noise and Zero Music. Not a good time for Earthlings.
I think the editing did a great disservice to this demo. When she was actually playing it didn’t seem any noisier than amps of that era or style. But the incessant noise between switching guitars thrown in there have the impression that the amp sounds that way at all times.
@@JamesJessenfeddenI don’t think the editing was the problem as much as the playing itself - it was so uninspired that focusing on other things (such as noise) was easy. This type of demo is basically useless as it accomplishes nothing that it sets out to do. The original amp demo with Dinesh was MUCH better and made a much greater impression of what this amp is capable of. I came away from that video not remembering so much about WHAT Dinesh played, but how good it SOUNDED, and that’s really the point.
@@robertc5387 Had to watch the video you mentioned and I’d agree with you. Much better, more informative and more thorough. Maybe the goal of this video was to introduce a young player to a wider audience. Maybe they did her a disservice by your estimation.
sounds horrible and noisy
That’s pretty much how vintage Gibson amps sound, lol.
@@Dram1984 Yep, and they were never known for their great sound
she's cranked/driving those tubes with the tone rolled down and getting that classic 'woman-tone'. Definitely not the sounds of a tender Fender
I absolutely agree that this demo was not the least bit impressive. However, before watching this I saw the demo done by Dinesh and loved the sounds he was getting. I would definitely like to try out one of these in the future, but no thanks to this demo.
Its the 70s rock tone.
