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.

Build quality is definitely not what Gibson is charging for these. I wanted one at first but wouldn't touch it now.

Sounds great, really looking forward to trying one of these in person. Can't believe how many professional opinions this amp has pulled out of the woodwork - all bagging it without even giving it a chance to prove itself. Love this guilty until proven innocent world we live in, not.....

gibson lied and said hand wired? not saying pcb is always bad but the lies? not getting my $. chance to prove itself? by that time out of return window and also gibson has been building mediocre for years. let's stop funding this simply because of their cool body and head stock shapes..... btw i thinks pauls are the coolest ever guitar but currently just making it on looks alone

Why don’t we just hold off on criticizing the quality until these amps start having issues? I’ve seen inside. I agree it definitely has the potential to be very problematic, but that is all we can say at this point. Let’s save the attack until the problems start.

@@incubism Yes, it’s a Mesa Boogie amp with the Gibson name on it. Mesa Boogie doesn’t get the level of hate that Gibson gets. The people who are “hating” it just based on the price probably don’t even realize that both of the Falcon models are less expensive than any other combo amp that Mesa Boogie currently sells.

Played a couple of these in the Gibson Garage in Nashville last month. Great amps. The quality, like the price point, sits between an all-tube Fender reissue and a boutique amp of the same size. I really don't get the Gibson hate out there... They make good stuff, especially lately. If you don't like Gibsons, don't buy them. Problem solved.

@rickyanthony thx for that comment. I appreciate that it may be quiet enough not to bother anyone while they're just playing, I'd almost bet recording with a mic near it would mean you're gonna hear it on playback. Katana's are all digital/solid state and don't need a cooling fan. Just an dd design factor for it to have.

It's not overpriced it's a boogie amp from California. The workers probably make $100 an hour. So would you be happier if they made them in Asia with cell phone parts
