A short-lived model, this amp is a product of Gibson's acquisition of Trace Elliot, and is a rebranded version of Trace's revered Velocette model. Made in the UK, this amp is a single channel affair driven by a pair of EL84 power tubes, with two 12AX7s in the preamp. The compact GA-15RV features the simplest of controls: Volume, Tone, and Reverb knobs and a Bright Switch. A single input jack is high impedance and allows for perfect matching to both passive and active guitar pickups. With Class A cathode bias, the GA-15RV has the widest possible signal swing before the tubes are driven to cut-off or saturation. This produces a tone that is progressively rich in harmonics and very touch-sensitive to picking dynamics.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFurther features include an external speaker output which allows one to connect to an external 16 Ohm speaker cabinet for a bigger sound than the amp's 12\" speaker can provide. When a plug is inserted into this jack, the 12\" internal speaker is disconnected.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe amp is loaded with the original Celestion Vintage 30 speaker, and the tube complement includes a pair of Ruby EL-84 power tubes and a pair of Sovtek-branded 12AX7s in the preamp. Cosmetically, this example is exceedingly clean, with the Gibson badge fully intact, and flush seams on the edges of the brown leather-esque wrap.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44362298294528,"sku":"G02531299","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_5fd03bc6-dbf6-4b0b-9293-046ad9db5190.jpg?v=1751567808","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/gibson-goldtone-ga-15rv-tube-amp-class-a-1x12-uk-made-trace-elliot","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
