    Even though I do actually like the sound of the Gibson amps, 1.5k is hard to call affordable. Appreciate this could have been nearer 5k but very expensive for a 5 watt amp. I’d probably get a deluxe reverb or Princeton instead and save some money…

    Watch Steve from 60 Cycle Hum explain in the video "Is Gibson Dumb," why the $1k price tag for pickups isn't actually even overpriced let alone ridiculous. Seymour Duncan has had a set just like this, box and all, for this price, for ten years, call ed the Zephyr Silver. All kinds of boutique makers from Throbak to Rewind to Ron Ellis, this IS the price point.

One pays more for high end materials such as the silver wire in the duncans (silver is the best conductor), for the hand winding; the competition between these top shelf pickups keeps those prices safe from scarcity and monopoly.

    the only reason i have two fender amps is that they're the cheapest non-suck(non-micro) amps i could find new in box(watch sometimes, see how many people wipe after taking a dump), went for 10insh for the bass as the bottom end of acceptable. if gibsons amps are up to the same quality as their guitars, get it out of box and tested immediately, if it's good, that's luck.

      The Fender ‘57 Tweed Deluxe is only 12 watts and it’s $2,400.
      I like these new Gibson Falcon amps, but I’m a little confused about the pictures on their website that show the back of the amp where it plainly says “Hand Wired”, and multiple people on various UA-cam videos (including this) saying they have seen in insides and it isn’t hand wired.

    The $999 Gibson pickups (and the number of people who will buy one set for every Les Paul or SG they own) are why the Gibson amps are "reasonably priced." 🤣🤣🤣

    Gibson wasn't even first with $900(USD)+ pedals. Seymour Duncan made their Zephyr series first.

    Yuk! I like small tube amps but Gibson? Well, too expensive sorry and, I have to my ear, the tones aren´t anything to write home about 😞

      Idk about these new ones, but the vintage Gibson tube amps sound amazing, and they can be found for less than $1000, many times less than $500.

    "Yuck someone's yum" I'm stealing that.
    My own review: You did a marvelous job while struggling not to comment on the ludicrous money grab when an attorney designs and amp.
    Good job Andy, this why I watch your videos. It's a YUM...!
    Question: Have you always been so theatrical and exuberant.
    I shudder to think that it may all be an act.
    Once the camera is off you return to being an ASSHAT.

    Gibson = Overpriced toys for collectors.
    Somehow, I have the feeling that soon my pre-Gibson Mesa/Boogie amp will be helping me pay pat of my Home Loan 🤣

    Im pretty sure that those pickups will never be heard on a recorded song. It seems like Gibson just have nothing to do with making actual music anymore.

    I'm sorry but you're still wrong. $1799.. is stupid!! That's why I'll never let go of my Peavey Bandit red stripe. Of course I'm not a tube snob but it ain't worth it!!! I love my Mexican Strat and my Peavey. It's enough for me. Unless you make big money playing or you're a reviewer,to me it's good. Just my opinion.

    Look at the inside of a Falcon and you'll realize why they're so "cheap." The tubes are mounted sideways, directly to the board. It honestly looks shitty and a loooot of amp techs are going to be fixing those amps. Also, a $1000 set of humbuckers? Give me a fuckin break.

      Where did you see the inside of the Falcon amps?
      In person?
      UA-cam video? If so which one?

    There's nothing affordable about those amps and while they sound fine, they in no way live up to the unreasonable price.

    The Gibson amps are still over priced even made in America, they should be $950 for the 5w and $1100 for the 12w and the pickups well we don't even have to discuss that
