Gibson Falcon 20 1x12 Combo

Vintage Sound... Reimagined!

Gibson proudly presents the new Falcon 20 1x12 Combo amplifier. It pays tribute to Gibson’s legendary past as one of the world’s first electric guitar amplifier makers. The Falcon 20 resurrects the Gibson amp icon and delivers a vintage tone reinterpreted with valuable new features and all the magic of the original.

This all-new design from renowned amp pioneer Randall Smith and the MESA/Boogie design team is inspired by the Gibson Falcon amps of the 1960s but handcrafted in Petaluma, California, setting new standards in low-power tone. The Falcon 20 stands apart from its predecessors through design and sonic improvements born from Randall’s five decades of tube amp design experience and his performance-driven philosophy, producing nothing less than astonishing results.

The Falcon 20 is a straightforward single-channel amp focused on great tone and simple operation. Its ultra-simple, pure signal path design features controls for volume and tone, plus footswitchable reverb and tremolo controls that add an extra dimension and movement, greatly expanding its versatility across many musical styles.

Connoisseurs have long known that one secret to great overdrive tone is power amp overdrive, and that lower-wattage amps are key to achieving cranked power amp tone without excessive volume. The Gibson Falcon 20 1x12 Combo is perfect for those seeking a sensitive, nuanced response at the low to mid gain and power range, delivering a harmonious blend of vintage power amp overdrive when pushed. All this tonal magic is brought to life by the vintage voice of a 12" Jensen Blackbird Alnico speaker, perfectly complementing the volume range and Class-A power amp.

Players can choose between Full, Half, or Low power modes (12, 5, or 1 watt) with the patented Multi-Watt 6V6 Pure Class A power tubes, or 15, 6, or 2 watts with optional 6L6 power tubes, achieving three levels of expressive Gibson tone and feel. This power flexibility offers even more options to seamlessly and musically move in and out of breakup, making the Falcon 20 an ideal amp for club gigs, home practice, and recording. With its modern refinements, high-end performance, and boutique construction, the Falcon 20 surpasses even the most prized vintage Gibson gems.
