Man, you caught me off guard with the half the organs joke. That was well executed. I actually laughed out loud.
The falcon amps are still more costly than some of what they have to compete with from fender
and new falcon is circuit board
I'll be amazed if they sell at a good rate for any more than 1100 and 1400 usd.
Oh the section on the Gibson PAF had us in stitches here Andy, fantastic.
Cracking video. Great info, great production and laced through with humour.
Brilliant and entertaining as always
Wait!!!! Does this mean we're finally hanging out!!! :)
The only way to consider the new gibson amps reasonably priced is to remember they have Gibson stitched on them.
A $1700 brand new Mesa Boogie amp is a steal
I'm gonna go on the record as stating that, though Gibson's Falcon amps premiered with a reasonable price tag, next year that price will hike to 2.5k smackeroony doonies.
1.5k isn't even remotely close to reasonable lol these amps are worth maybe $750 at most.
@@getshwiftygaming447 I’ll give you that.
Ordered the Beetronics a couple of days ago. Very excited!
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…
Really loving the gear of the week videos Andy 😊 did you see the other Vox announcements? More pedals and hand wired versions of all their amps!?! 😊
Honestly, the Falcon 5's price leaves room for a cheap combo after buying a Synergy SYN-1 and their T/DLX (Twin Clean/Cranked Deluxe Dirty) preamp module.
... And these Falcons are built using cheap PCBs. Sh*te
So glad I came here for the Gibson preview 🤣
HAHAHA, sick burn on Gibson there. Loved it! 😆
Fantastic, a box for my pickups..
PAF section was awesome!!! Concur my friend. Concur
The setup for the Gibson pickups was brilliant.
Andy, Haven't all PAF's had their own unique sound, because of uncertain hand wiring? So I didn't understand how these new Gibson Pickups are gonna sound like? based on just only one pickup that they scanned??
Exactly.
Love this channel, man is batshit crazy 😮
Just get Kloppmanns and have the best pickups around in your guitar. Still not affordable but definitely top notch.
I picked up a Gibson GA-15 RVT for 40 bucks in the 90s. No one wanted it, but I thought the handle was really cool. Glad they are doing a similar handle on these!
Error 404: "affordable" not found.
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.
Two wrongs doesnt make one right.
@@user-pk4kb8bx9g Two wrongs *don’t make a right. The cost of those parts and specs and American labor, sets that price. 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. Sorry I didn’t spell it out with small words for you the first time.
@@CraigFlowersMusic
How about spelling out the small words to the US companys that do the same for much less?
Sorry for not spelling out the small words for you the first time.
@@user-pk4kb8bx9g What part of “top spec”?
I so wanted to meet you at NAMM, but I have been sick since Sunday night and I doubt I will be ok for NAMM,,, maybe next year 😊
Hey, Andy! I loved your series on the Blackstar ID: Core v3. I just got an email from Blackstar announcing the v4. If you can get your hands on one, could you cover this amp? Looks very well updated.
Thanks for throwing in some great humor. 🤣
These amps need be no more complicated than the Mark I.
Bring back beefy traces on thick heat-resistant PCBs with sound component heat-iso, please! The irony of my owning a Mark V mini is that if I used it more often, I'd just have to sell it sooner - out of a more-rapid accumulation of fear that my reliability-luck is running out.
Like i've said on other videos...Gibson are out of there minds..These amps are ok..But at 1800 bucks..Crazy
I´m all in for the APC-1 for my campervan! 🙂 Anything over 199 and I am all out! LOL
Gibson wants 1700 bucks for it's 12 watt amp. That's just too much money considering how many options exist. You can buy a 100 watt amp ez with more options for less than their Falcon 20.
You can buy the original Gibson amps from the 60’s for less than that lol
The Mooer Harmony could be crazy with synth also...
Lets wait
That Bee pedal sounds so good you need to wear a beekeeper suit to use it
What do you do with the leather case once the pickups are in your guitar though?
Gibson Marketing🥳🥃
I just use whatever pickup's came in the guitar.
I'm Canadian, so $999. BTW, thanks for releasing at what is 0330 here off the west coast of British Columbia.
They sound GREAT! ? Being this is Gibson and they are not selling for $2500 and $3000 respectively, does this amp made by Gibson at their Mesa Amp plant, make the circuit board in the states or are they off-shored. I can't find any information on this topic . Great video! Cheers!!
Oh, I saw the Bee-autiful fuzz pedal review. That Gibson amp, though…I liked the California Tweed amps when I tried them-similar power scaling.
7:30 ...UK price works out at over $2500
ah yes, Namm again!
Please take a look for me if Dean Guitars are at Namm, since i want a Dean Z but i'm not sure if they do anything right now.
Andy, you got the Santa hair on top not on the chin. 😊
Like the sound of the new Gibson combos.
My pick of the week was ESP LTD’s new Bill Kelliher signature Royal Shiva!
I don’t know what it costs but I’m sure it’s less than two of those Gibson PAFs and maybe three Jeffs.
What!!!! I didn’t hear of that.
@@TheGuitarGeek I think they snuck it in their big annual release last weekend or something but I only saw it on Bill’s instagram. Silverburst double cut thick mahogany body need I say more?
I just found it… WOW!!!!
Gibson doesn't need an apology 😶😅 VOX going bananas and I'll say it again...Abelha pedal is the best looking pedal I've seen in a long time, packed with pretty cool sounds! 🔥
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.
A set of aged 8Bomb Custom Goldie humbuckers is $458 U.S..
Pickup biscuits are awesome. Just saying
It what world is a $1599 7 watt combo tube amp considered affordable? They would look cool in a lawyers office next to the $5000 Gibson Custom Shop hanging on the wall, I will give you that. For that price there are so many better amp options.
I’ll stick with my Tonerider AC4’s. Also, the Falcon amps sound like my £170 Fender Excelsior.
Can we get a review of the Hawkins brother pedal from the darkness?
Pretty much Zero interest in any Gibson products here - But! They are by far the most entertaining brand for me.
I'm currently on season 7 : Lawsuits - Crazy prices - Questionable QC - I recently heard the circus is up for sale? 🤷♂
Can't wait until the new season comes out! 😃
Tropical fuzz on pollen mode.
I want that Vox guitar just for the shape! Bring back the Mark iii Teardrop, and the Phantom!
Amen!
The VOX APC-1 is interesting - but not for $389 That's my guess
i can't remember - did you get that black Guild Polara ? Keep it or not ?
Soz, been a bit ill. Artha, Martha hehe. All ok now
How about VOX just release a full size tear drop?In white obs.
Since Mesa is making these Gibson amps I'd consult a few amp repair tech channels for their thoughts on Mesa amps before deciding whether or not to buy these Gibson amps. Spoiler alert: some amp techs refuse to work on Mesa amps.
Never apologize to Gibson.
Agreed
Cry more
@@samright4661 either way, we all know you cant afford one, so theres that.
Gibson is the most unfairly criticized guitar company in the world and is largely criticized by people who deep down wish they could play them
@@jcwoodstl hows your new ‘59 PAF limited edition pups?
Unlike you, i have owned several Gibson guitars, and basses. They are gone because i found better.
Would love to see one of the Gibson amps with the back panel off, tube location and mounting, electronics etc. how will they stand up compared to the older falcons? More to see here.
😂😉👍
There are videos out there. It's... underwhelming to say the least...
@@Riverking1 There's a simmering dispute underway; the disagreement being whether things that arguably render an amp 'shite' can reasonably be referred to in an amp's brochure as being "modern touches".
(1) PUSH = ua-cam.com/video/AO7x7vzWC3U/v-deo.htmlsi=3mzKZkKpu_wj5MyQ
(2) PULL = ua-cam.com/video/LGAkcGctgN0/v-deo.htmlsi=fGEbax_kjt44Hlp1
a nod to Glen at SpectreSoundStudios....
The APC-1 will cost 299.
I want to send you my Latent Lemons pedal, but maybe I should just wait until i live a couple hours away instead of a few thousand miles away.
They might bring out an epiphone version of the falcons that is more expensive 😂 to be fair they sound really good and are not to mental a price lol.
Epiphone version for only $950 for 7 watts, $1250 for 12 watt version.
You F pickup mugs. You dentists and bankers are awesome. Copper, magnet, plastic bobbins. 1k for 2 units. And you play like lemons. You wouldn't REALLY know a good sound if you went in the studio with a grade 1 producer. And we all just chuckle.
My only problem is that the pickups are limited to 1000 and not just for a time but that's just me.
Not a problem at all. Buy something else that works just as good for one tenth the price.
Lol Gibson has changed 1500 dollar amps. Here’s a set of pickups for a stack by the way lol.
@9:31 to 9:48 real life LOL.(not an artificial internet LOL)
3:02 I bet you can’t avoid feedback from those in close proximity 🤣😂🤣😂
I’ll let you know next week!
@@TheGuitarGeek I’m looking fwd to it. Safe travels Andy.
Thanks mate
CHEAP?
1500 for 12 watts?
Are they gonna sell 100 watt versions for 10,000?
Cheap for dentists and UA-cam presenters maybe.
It’s not cheap but imagine hour much they could have priced it at.
It's $1500 for five watts actually.
You price US made amps lately? Go price Two Rock, Morgan, Milk Man, Dr. Z, Friedman, etc. Fender's one US made amp is $3K for 20 watts. That said, I don't care for the tone of the amps based on demos. Too fizzy for me.
@Nobody92421 don't forget magnatone.
@@Nobody92421
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.
And people will buy them at that money regardless. If someone can afford them and wants them then let them at it.
People pay $500+ for a set of Doyle Coils, so I don't see why people are getting salty about the Gibson PAFs. There are more important things to worry about. And the best tone I've ever heard from just an amp and guitar was Mark Agnesi playing an old LP Special through a GA-5, so I'm really excited about the Falcon amps. The tremolo on the 20 sounds fantastic.
" go for it! ,
you got pretty far on half a brain... " lmao..
Gibson makes me laugh. Anyone buying Gibson makes me laugh harder. Thanks, I needed a laugh!
I’m wondering if there’s preNamm stuff because NAMM is not quite what it was?
I think so
@@TheGuitarGeek we must be right then if we both think it. 🤪🤣😂
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." 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks to Gibson now a Set of Kloppmann PAF's are reasonable priced😂😅
Andy. It's really obvious that you are excited about NAMM. This is the wackiest twig for a while...
Have a great time at GAS central.
Gibson wasn't even first with $900(USD)+ pedals. Seymour Duncan made their Zephyr series first.
$2100 and $2500 in Canada. The 20 sounds great, but that's a lot for a 12 watt combo. I say cash grab.
they grabbed my $2500, can't wait.
@cdwilliams6875
Hope it works out for you.
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.
349
Vox will surely be $599
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.
"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.
Just asking for a friend.
Respectfully Submitted
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.
They are $$$$$ Are you cracked?
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 🤣
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?
$579.00 is my guess, for the cursed looking "guitar".
There's nothing affordable about those amps and while they sound fine, they in no way live up to the unreasonable price.
$ 1799 for 12 watt and you think that is a good price man I would NOT smoke what you are
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
Tubes mounted on a computer board. Eh, no thanks.
9:44 bold of you to assume they have half a brain. If you would’ve said that, of course.
WTF Gibson... Why the case? They are pickups, made to gonin a guitar, not sit in a cabinet...
These graphics pop-ups are horseshit, especially for a grown up audience
Are you ok?
Good channel, been watching for a long time, I think you just need to realise your audience is not the same age as your children
