The Gibson Falcon 5 guitar combo amp brings the organic tube warmth and dynamic touch sensitivity of vintage amps into the modern era. Built around three 12AX7 preamp tubes and a single 6V6 power tube, the all-tube circuitry of the Falcon 5 delivers the rich harmonic complexity guitarists love about tube amps. Its single-channel design gives you a volume control to go from shimmering cleans to overdriven crunch, a tone knob to shape your sound and onboard reverb for a spacious, three-dimensional soundscape. The built-in attenuator even lets you experience the amp's full dynamic range at lower volumes ideal for home, studio and small venues.
Dial In Vintage Tube Tone With Ease
The Falcon 5's streamlined control panel makes it easy to dial in your perfect tone. Plug your guitar into the high- or low-sensitivity input and let your fingers do the work, using your guitar's volume knob to go from crystalline cleans to saturated overdrive. The volume, tone and reverb knobs give you instant tweaking power over the amp's dynamics, EQ and ambience. Finding your sound is intuitive, so you can focus on your playing rather than fiddling with settings.
Immerse Yourself in Analog Spring Reverb
While many amps today offer digital effects, nothing compares to the lush, enveloping magic of real spring reverb. The Falcon 5's onboard reverb tank produces the genuine splashy trails and dreamy decay that have defined countless classic guitar tones. Let your melodies drip with ambience at higher settings or add just a touch to thicken up a dry tone. The organic sound and responsive feel of spring reverb inspires you to play differently and explore new dimensions.
Attenuate the Volume, Not the Tone
Thanks to its built-in attenuator, you can experience the Gibson Falcon 5's power tubes working hard at lower volumes that won't disturb the neighbors. Switch from 7 watts down to 3 watts with the included 6V6 power tube. Unlock a little extra power by swapping to an optional 6L6 (sold separately) for 8 watts or 4 watts. The attenuator lets you switch between 3W or 7W modes with a single 6V6 power tube configuration. Or, use 6L6 tubes to access a little more power with 4W or 8W modes. The rich harmonic complexity and dynamic touch sensitivity that makes cranked vintage amps so coveted is now accessible anytime inspiration strikes, no matter the hour.
