  • I've always loved Mesa Boogie amps and now that they have been acquired by Gibson, these are basically Mesa built amps with a Gibson logos on them. I think. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. They sound really good.

    They sound really good. I would be interested in hearing how the fixed attenuated monitor output sounds through a decent PA. I assume as its fixed that the output level is not affected by the volume of the amp?

    It's going to be tough to break in the market at that price point. The 20 sounds really smooth tho, man what a tone.

  • @jeffflint9086
    @jeffflint9086 4 місяці тому +1

    Some nice playing again Rich. Not sure how much these cost but I think I prefer the sound of the 20w amp. Not a pedal guy, I like any gain to come from the amp and use the volume pots on the guitar to control the level. They are up against some tough opposition.

  • @robertpurdy4452

    I think they sound great and may go for one since I don't have a tube amp, just my Katana Artist and Katana 50, which I mainly use on the clean channel with my own pedals. I really like how Gibson put the low power 1-watt setting on the Falcon 20. It seems to me Gibson is going to sell a bunch of these.

    @jimmyfrombrooklyn8550 4 місяці тому

    The sound like they’ll do the job if you’re a tube guy. Price point and weight are considerations, curious what they come in at? I like that they seem simple whereas some of the Mesas I played through were anything but simple. Don’t hear any 60 cycle hum either- single coil Achilles heel!

    The Falcon 20 only puts out a max of 12 watts with the stock tubes and max 15 watts with a set of 6L6's. It sounds ok but for two grand there are definitely better options.

      Honestly the main issue is not how it's wired if it puts out a good tone. The issue is that's its overpriced for what it is, but that's gibson in a nutshell. Super overpriced instruments. Don't get me wrong I love gibson, but damn they need a reworking on their ridiculous pricing model.

    These amps sound decent but no way would I pay the price that they are asking. I could see $300-450 as a price range and only because it says Gibson. I would probably take a Monoprice combo over these since they sound better than these Gibson amps your demos. Nice demo though Rich.

    • @charlesbolton8471
      @charlesbolton8471 4 місяці тому +2

      $300-450 really? You are completely out of your mind. There isn’t any American made amp that you buy new for that price much less from a major brand. It would even cost more than that to buy parts from an American company to build an amp like either of these.

    Why not open one up (it’s just four screws) and show the circuit board with the preamp tubes mounted on the circuit board? That would make for a more complete review. These are highly over priced for circuit board amps.
