Up for sale, a 1964 Gibson Falcon GA-19RVT combo tube amplifier in excellent condition and in perfect working order. The early Crestline-era Falcons are great sleepers, as they feature nearly identical circuitry to the more sought-after Tweed-era Gibson amps. Cleans are clear and bouncy, and the Falcon is the perfect amplifier for small club gigs and studio sessions with a smooth, harmonic rich overdrive when opened up. The Reverb is quite lush, and the Tremolo has a nice pulse with a good range of speeds.
A single channel design, controls consist of Loudness (Volume), Tone, Reverberation, and Depth and Frequency knobs for the Tremolo. The original footswitch is included, and features a separate on/off switch for both the Reverb and Tremolo effects.
The circuit retains its original transformers which all date to 1964, and the circuit is extremely original with just a few capacitor substitutions to ensure optimal functionality. The power cable has been upgraded to the modern three-prong variety. The tube set includes the original matching RCAs in the preamp, the stock RCA rectifier and a modern matched pair of JJ-branded 6V6 power tubes. The stock Jensen C12R 12” speaker is intact, dating to the 32nd week of ‘64.
Cosmetically, this amp is in great shape with the original dark gray textured covering and two-tone grillcloth, showing only light wear on the enclosure edges. The original Gibson badge and luggage-style handle are also intact. The aluminum faceplate shows light surface patina with clean graphics and original reflector cap knobs.
