Gibson Falcon 20 1×12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Cream Bronco

The Gibson Falcon 20 1×12 tube combo pays homage to the famed Skylark amps of the ’50s and ’60s—the iconic guitar company’s entry to becoming one of the world’s first manufacturers of amplifiers. Inspired by its legendary past, the Gibson Falcon incorporates a brand-new schematic by trailblazing designer Randall Smith and the formidable MESA/Boogie design team, bringing inimitable, handcrafted vintage tone to the 21st century. Featuring a single, no-nonsense channel with volume and tone controls, plus onboard reverb and tremolo, the Falcon 20 serves soaring sounds from the moment you plug in. This powerfully simple amp best suits tone connoisseurs seeking the nuanced dynamic response of old-school classics, starting with lean cleans that overdrive into meaty rhythms and leads with ease. The boutique-like Gibson Falcon 20 combo offers unparalleled retro magic in a thoroughly contemporary reimagining of a certified classic.

Impossibly Versatile Single-Channel Layout

While modern amplification often prioritizes multiple channels and long lists of secondary features, the Gibson Falcon 20 peels back its layers to find the purest signal path possible. The result is wholly organic tone, driven by four 12AX7 preamp valves and two 6V6 power amp tubes, for shimmering cleans, three-dimensional saturation and the touch sensitivity that’s inspired generations of electric guitar players for decades. In this amp, the Falcon 20’s versatility lies in its response to your pickups, guitar output volume and how hard or soft you play. From dialed-back tones with minimal breakup to thick, chewy power-tube overdrive, the Gibson Falcon 20 covers an impressive tonal range despite its minimalist layout.

Pure Tube Tone at Player-Friendly Levels

The Gibson Falcon 20’s three-position Multi-Watt switch lets you go from approximately 12 watts of Class-A, 6V6 power to five, or to one—with only a flick. Lower power equates to less volume, but it’s also easier to drive the Falcon into natural tube breakup at levels that will protect your marriage, your lease and your hearing. In home or project studios that may or may not have an adequate isolation booth, you can still capture raw Falcon tone in its sweet spot, and it’s possible to play smaller gigs with every ounce of sonic charm you’ve come to love from this Gibson combo, without the sheer volume overpowering audiences.
