    Gibson Amplifiers return [Falcon 5 and 20]

    This thing is an overpriced price of amp. I’m a tech and this thing will not last too long built like that and not be very repairable, maybe not at all depending on what’s wrong. This thing would be great priced at $600 or so but for what they’re asking, it’s totally nuts. Just the stress of...

    Opinions on gain on Gibson GA-6 vs Gibsonette GA-8?

    The ga-6 is a great cranker. And comparable to a tweed deluxe circuit wise. Be ware that it runs at a higher voltage than a tweed deluxe so it gets louder. If early breakup is what you want a tweed deluxe or other amp will get that at a little lower volume.

    I bought one in '97 back before load boxes and IRs, sucker was louder than WWII. But man what an amp, I miss it. Killer tone on your recording!

    Recommendations needed for a replacement Tune-o-matic.

    All I know is it’s extremely hard (impossible?) to find a repro that sounds like the old ones. I went through n this quest briefly myself and went back to the vintage bridges.

    Tried out a Murphy Lab R6 today...

    All the R6s I’ve heard have been pretty bright. Guess it’s the p90s?

    Tom Murphy (Gibson Murphy Labs) - His Most In Depth Video Interview EVER!

    Ol’ Murph mentioned a couple times that the ML finish is pretty fragile and that it’ll take damage a lot easier. I don’t want to pay a bunch more for a guitar who’s finish has an unknown future. My regular gloss ‘16 R8 has been checking on its own. The finish is pretty thin on that, any...

    Whoa that was one heavy-duty set up! As a dad of 3 kids in a small house, I can only dream. I get the amp obsession, I think I dig amps even more than guitars.
