Cool product and cool dialogue this time - lots of wisdom tossed out in a much more relaxed vibe than so much of their content - they weren't talking over each other and nervously prioritizing a goal of brevity that detracts overall. The amps on a great the guitars were amazing the dialogue with superb this time and the plane, once again, was very pleasing to my ears.
Hilarious how so many people are hell bent on making sure no-one else is allowed to like these amps. Also, how does this literal ripping off work versus figuratively?
I played through the Falcon 20 at the Gibson Garage London. I was joined by the son of a famous newsreader, who is an excellent guitar player, on the smaller Falcon. His dad joined in later. Both amps sounded really good. I’m keeping my Anderton’s bought 2x10 Magnatone but I’m interested in these. They have a vibe I like.
I’m my! This LOOKS exactly like my 1995 crate vintage club vc5212. The knobs. The power switch and standby. The vinyl. The gold backplate. Top mounted controls.
Lee's guitar is hideous! It looks Army-issue... Like you should have stripes on your sleeve when you play it, and salute when the Colonel walks past the jamm
@@wizrom3046thats the thing bud, everybody loves different things! Personally I think it jaw dropping beautiful. I have the andertons/CME Gibson sg special in the same olive drab color and it's my favorite guitar to look at and play!
Great tones from both of you! That olive Les Paul is so cool. The amp is just frosting on the cake. With all of the controversy over gear prices, at the end of the day, Gibson knows what they’re doing.
Extremely nice jam in The start guys. Really nice!. We all know DP has a cool vibe, but The captain?? What can I say. Followed you since the first videos in the start with the chappers. Your feel, 6:53 the touch - just beautiful 😀😀😀
My fist amp, Gibson 160 watt, with 4 10 inch speakers. Reverb was great, amp screamed .Paid 150$ for it, used in 1970.You need to give Pete one. I've never seen him, so excited. They sound great.
Lee and Pete were buttery on the intro jam! I love the tone on these amps. I clicked the video expecting them to be good. I didn't anticipate that I'd want one... but here we are
I cant afford any of this stuff im just here for the good times and 2 great chaps. That green les paul custom is beautiful…but even more beautiful was the intro jam, well done chaps.
Fantastic review of amazing new amp....2k for an amp only hard core studio owner are going to cough up that. I will gladly download the sim next week lol,,, Lee and Pete you keep us all striving for THAT tone... Love Y'All
Sound pretty damn good to me! Usually I’m not impressed with hardly any tube amp videos! Carr, none of them just blow me away! The sound of these kinda caught my ear! I don’t know!
Hey Lee! You guys there should do a pedal platform amp review. Set up a range of budget mid and expensive pedals to give folks an idea about what amps in all price ranges would suit them best. Oh and use a range of guitars in those price points or just use sub $600 guitars as more people own less expensive guitars.
Nice Southern Rock feel on that intro. Very nice! The amps sound majestic to my ears, but do they offer anything their, lower priced, competition, offers? I don't think so. We live in an age of an abundance of quality gear and relatively low prices, so why would I drop a big wad of cash on a reincarnation of the Falcon? Well I wouldn't, some might, but I wouldn't. These amps will become a mainstay in many studios, but for gigging musicians trying to put food on the table by playing live, these amps miss the mark by a sizeable margin. But I do love that intro!!!
Well needless to say I would have to play a number of different amps and weight the cost and the sound. For a gigging musician, I have to make concessions. My assertion was my point of view.
Can you guys do un-edited versions of your videos so we can watch them after 10.00pm and our kids won't see them 😬, then we can hear what you say when we get the bleeped out parts with the coloured vertical stripes 😂. You fellas are sounding better each time I hear you play together. And I was starting to hear a bit of ZZ Top coming out when Pete was playing the 335
@@bassyey yes the Stage Right 15W (mine is from Monoprice, Thomann also sells them under their brand) has a real spring reverb tank and sells for $300US.
Ya think? Had an lab7 combo, same as BB King. Made by Moog, Gibson and some other i dont remember, didnt like the 2x12's in the combo, took a 4x12 cab by9 Marshall and retired my killer all valve 100w Marshall head, prime guitar was Gibson 335 Never sounded better. An Digital Gibson/Moog called Lab series, this 2x12 was lab7. Drawbacks, you had to play at really high volyme before it started to sing. Thats an killer rig.
@@jmtrainz2582 Heard that too, the build isnt made to last I got alot of amps, some 50 years old, that still sound nice, ok some had an real check up But theese amps arent made for 50 years
@@fixedgear37 Aww mr fixedgear broke down and cried, how couls anyone critisize gibson or have an opinion other than him? Therefore he had to go to personalattack and order his thruth...😆
I think they sound freaking fantastic. I get that the TH-cam echo chamber is stuck on the "hate Gibson" feedback loop, but I think everyone who says these are overpriced are suffering from that malady. I am not saying that Gibson doesn't charge a whole helluva premium for most of their products, but at the price point and considering what's on offer from their competition it's fairly reasonable in my book. At any rate I will let the chorus of poor musicians who think everything ought to be affordable for them no matter how they manage their own personal finances to resume it's continuing cacophony of belly aching.
You can have class A with any number of tubes. It can also be either single ended or push pull and still class A. Only limitation would be that you can't do AB or B with less than two. Well technically you can but it wouldn't serve its purpose as an audio amplifier.
Apparently the internal build quality for the price is horrible. I've yet to see a review channel assess the build, though. I see them assess the quality of "cheap" stuff, but not so much the pricey stuff. Just a reminder it's all business, folks.
the problem is the guitar review channels don't know what they're looking at inside an amp, and the idea of opening it up to have a look probably doesn't even occur to them. as long as they get their cheque from Mesa to say it's a good amp, that's all they care about 🤷🏽♀ and I mean they don't sound bad.... so they think they are giving an honest review
In the 60's when I was learning and using a beginner National amp I decided to buy my first real amp, lol. I tried all the Gibson amps but bought a mint used black face Fender Super Reverb that blew the Gibson's out of the water. It was no contest the Fender was unbelievably better!!!
You know "the Fender was unbelievably better" but you don't know that the plural of a proper noun is not formed using an apostrophe. It is 'Gibsons', not 'Gibson's'. But since the vast majority of comments I've seen here are from what appear to be near-illiterate idiots, I guess the members of your club don't know enough to mind.
I own both tube amps and modeling amps, as well as the most traditional speaker cabinets with Celestion Vintage 30s inside. However, I must say that this whole debate is completely irrelevant because modeling and solid-state technology are the future. Modeling or solid-state amps, even the inventor of Dumble himself (a bit before his death), when asked if transistor amps would ever be as good as tube amps, responded that the question wasn't if it would happen but when. He emphasized that one day someone would make a transistor amp that sounds exactly like a tube amp, and given the way the market is evolving, I believe we are not far from that point. Even without considering that, basic modeling today is already excellent. Take anyone and blindfold them, and no one can tell the difference. Unfortunately, musicians often rely too much on their eyes instead of their ears. ( Most by the way jackoff way to much on gear all the time ( wether it’s new or vintage it’s the same ) instead of really playing guitar but that another debate) In any case, for guitar, the trend is to build things that are always lighter, better, more practical, simpler, and more intuitive. Even the country of origin hardly matters anymore because you can find quality in Europe, Asia, and even China, which wasn't known for quality products, is now able to copy or even surpass some American brands. We must recognize that American quality has significantly degraded, while Japanese quality remains stable at a high level. So, things are changing for the better.
$5700+ in Australia, for an amp designed by Mesa Boogie techs... with a Gibson logo.
Yeahnaa
Ah yes, the old "Having the nicest beaches" tax.
🤠
Jesus. Imagine spending that much for an amp that doesnt even sound that good in the first place
if you get the green les paul too its $24,000 aud rig hope they throw in a free lead and strap and pick
@@bladeoflucatiel Sounds great to me.
Real nice smooth playing on the intro boys
Sweet baby Jesus, this green Les Paul is just pure perfection!

Looks fugly to me.

The Olive drab lp custom is cool looking. I love that color with that patina.

Hello Pete, your guitar playing is amazing!
That Les Paul with the amp sounds like the "Who Live at Leeds" sound. Awesome.
Some seriously good playing in the video.
That was a lovely intro fellas.
Nice jams!
Pete & Lee sound like they've been listening to the Black Crowes lately - great intro jam!
That green Les paul is stunning !!
So I'm going to need you guys to do a proper full video on those '54 Customs... Especially the Oxblood... Absolute dream guitar for me.
Now that is some good fine playing there boys

Gibson Falcon you say?...I love these amps! I do wish they were a bit less expensive but I will still probably get one. Great sounding little amps!
wow that olive Les Paul is AMAZING!!!!
Sweet intro jam
Great intro!
Rock and roll 🤘 great intro guys
props to captain for the colour coordination
Sounds great boys!
That intro was killer! When are you touring the USA?
Dear Lord boys…burning down the place with that intro playing!! And the Custom Shop Gibsons 🔥🔥🔥
i loved the Velocette twin by Trace elliot. Gibson bought them, changed the name, made a few then they eventually stopped making them. Cracking amps
Sounds good!
Ya just can't beat the sweet sound of a valve amp and a real spring reverb.
Now thats an introduction 👏
I love my Falcon 20, it get so dirty and fuzzy, I need to try the new Dual and see if I need to upgrade or not.
Sounds great

These amps are definitely overrated, but sims and digital in general sucks.
Nice jam!! You guys should release a single
I see people posting about the cost, but I think Gibson should be applauded for putting these amps out at Epiphone pricing
eh??
1700 pounds for the cheapest, this is not Epiphone prices.
Sound pretty damn good to me! Usually I’m not impressed with hardly any tube amp videos! Carr, none of them just blow me away! The sound of these kinda caught my ear! I don’t know!
This is a good sounding amp. I can't deny it, even though I am more of a heavy genre guy.

The Staple olive custom is the business
Definitely getting California Tweed vibes from those!

Yes, they made in California
Those are extremely great sounding amps. Aural excitement this way comes!

That's a beautiful Les Paul Custom.
Friedman classic series amps in this price range would be my choice, he’s got the skills
Amp branding has to match headstock branding price
I love my Falcon 5!! Sounds great on its own. Blends soo beautifully with my AC15 in a stereo setup. Couldn’t be happier with it.
L3, L5, L9 ....they made a lot of cool solid state amps in the 80s

GOOD: real spring reverb, no inbuilt digital effects, Jensen speaker
BAD: everything else

As if real spring reverb is special these days. Cheap amp have real spring reverbs nowadays. IIRC, one model of monoprice amp have real spring reverb.

Very very curious about Pete's G-shock colloection
I'll watch this again just for Lee's guitar. That guitar stole the show.
Lee and Pete should do a vintage amp series of videos.
In the first "Back To The Future" Marty was playing a Gibson solid state amp. I forget what it was. Years ago I was curious about it and googled it.
