Sweet sweet playing. I’ve seen you do 50 interviews John but never heard you play. Nothing in your rhetoric during the interviews suggests how accomplished you are as a player. Very,very,very refreshing. And, in some convoluted way is points to why your interviews are so insightful.
Once again Mr. Bohlinger your playing along with the LP sell the amps better than anything else could!
All sounding really, really good John, amps _and_ playing. And 'Sunny' on the '54 was _outstanding._ Thanks man!
Wonderful guitar playing❤
Thank you for that pretty, (clean) intro. Not expecting to hear many demos of this without them being turned all the way up.
You're such a great player , as good the the stars you interview John!!
John B killin it , as always. Smokin tones , son.
Nice tremolo on those amps! Really dig that big old Switchmaster - those old P-90s are just magic!
im sure the people from Mesa Engineering were in on this project...beauty tremolo by the way
Having had the opportunity to have Mr Bollinger not only play on my last CD, but to meet him and be able to play that gold Les Paul, and now to hear it through these incredible Gibson reissues, well, let's just say my mind is blown. Once again John it's an honor to hear you play you make these amps sound great!
My dad was a Nashville Pro (steel picker) and used Gibson amps in the 1950's. When he went to pedal steel, like most steel guys he needed something more powerful, so it was a Twin with a different transformer and a 15 inch JBL D130. Fortunately, Peavey blew all that old not reliable stuff out of the water, with the Session 400. But he did use the old Gibson with his 1955 Fender triple neck, when ever he had a western swing gig. I'm glad to see Gibson back in the game. Of course John could make anything sound good.
It’s all about the lucite-style handles.
Such sweet playing John! Amps sound pretty darned good
Strange I have watched you on several interviews but never heard you play. Great demo with mighty fine playing. Great to see Gibson coming back even if it's with the help of Mesa Bogie.
They can't be bad if Randall Smith was involved in their design. But, seeing as how I only play clean, I will be ordering a Princeton style amp with an added midrange control.
awesome.......ive got 4 amps...all Gibsons.....the Falcon 20 would give me 5....yeah...i like the sound of that...🥰....love to hear how a tele sounds through this...
Well done, John. I was a little underwhelmed when the official product video came out. You completely change my mind. The sound legit, and then some.
Great review. It really brought out the differences in the guitars. Love that ES-5!
Damn son, that Falcon 20 sounds amazing.
great sounding amps. the extra 2 inches really helps (what she said).
That trem is sick!
John you make this amp sound awesome.
John is by far the best Premier Guitar 🎸 Host anytime he’s on it’s a must watch 🔥
I loved how you reached for a tremolo arm on a guitar that hasn't got one (14:25). Yup, we are getting old.😄
That was a cool Scofield-ish intro...dang John-B!!!
I'm very much looking forward to trying these out. Hear what they sound like in the hands of a talentless hack as opposed someone who makes everything sound great.
Well at least you're honest! ;o)
Always my go to for Amp reviews. Appreciate u John. Great song selection at the end🤟🏾
Need to hear it with single coils
The last guitar (Gibson ES5) has singlecoils :)
nahhhh he meant a strat or tele...thats a jazz box@@kaphillum
Lol
Loved John going for the Bigsby/trem arm when it wasn't there. How often do we all do that when switching guitars!
Nice playing John
Nice playing JB! I have a 65 GA19 Falcon & the Skylark, Both tone to die for! NFS
Very nice… always liked the old Gibson amps. Glad I watched til the end… Sunny meets 007. Very cool👍😁.
Sounds good. I just wish it cost more.
Played them both last week…. for home use the 5 W was pretty awesome
Nice demo and pretty sexy amps!
Righteous jams my man!
My 1rst amp was Epiphone Kalamazoo some call true Gibson, God I hated losing it. I'm looking for tone-- tone that the Masters use in the studio recording sessions.... mic'd up about 3-1/2 or 4-1/2 volume, but capable of ripping at about 7 or 8... the 20 is good😎 , yet I'm hoping they'll do a 40 or 50 twin 12-in
Sounds great!!!!
I am no fan of contemporary Gibson, but they would do well to pay Mr. Bohlinger to hold clinics with these amps.
I had to run my eyes. New Gibson amps . Wow !
Great amps and tasty playing! I love your James Bond piece as the ride out song! They look like wonderful amps, for small clubs and recording especially. Pretty good jazzy as well as rock and blues tones.
Love the playing and the tones. Great job
Now we know where to buy the Gibson guitar and amp, but is John Bohlinger's absolute class by any chance marketed?
Dang that sounds good
Excellent Gibson sound❤
Great playing! Love your gear reviews.
Feel like I walked into Ricks Place in Casablanca!
Nice ambiance .
John, always love your playing but I must say that you have been hitting the woodshed lately. Great demo, sir.
John it’s ok ! For a Blues Amp , but it would be nice if they had a 30 watt model
Enjoyed the tunes mightily. At the price of those amps, there are options a-plenty including the real cheapo Monoprice 15 watt - 12" which is excellent sounding, handsome, quality valves (tubes), well made and loud-when-you-want, attenuate, gain, very decent spring reverb, send/return for your stomp boxes and in Britain goes for around £250.00 under a different name. It's basically a 70s Laney design under the hood - decent old-school soul and crankerama. All tube amps do it - that beautiful realness, the little "burr" of gain or "smash the place up" howling - Mesa and Gibson have no corner on that. Only that Fender Twins and Hi Watts are no-can-do today because of health-and-safety.
North of a grand's a serious ask for what is pretty much the same thing. I don't see how the Falcons fit in at that kind of money because that "great little tube amp that you can carry to gigs without hurting yourself" vibe is up for grabs at a quarter the price or less, mail order. Anyone can have one. OK - made in USA......................................................whoopee.....
Lovely playing though.
Great playing 👏👌👍
That was a great sounding song at the start, the bass was really booming from my Stereo!! nice........
Gibson needs to make this Music City Les Paul a signature model!!!!!!
WOW , the Switch-master has found it's mate..as far as I can hear from here P90s need that amp cos it gives them a bit of bite. Nice.
The boards are made as Mesa would, not handwired! As it says on back. Very poor and very misleading!
it's almost like gibson sells low quality nowadays.....lol
Those amps are junk. Overpriced junk.
Preamp tubes are directly mounted to internal pc board! Nuts!
Great playing. Fun to listen to.
Nice review. Will A/B compare with Blues Junior IV?
Seen this coming a mile away when they acquired Mesa.
Mesa Is/Was... Other other side of the COUNTRY. Many a mile.
Ok I seeen this coming many miles away.
@@soundpainter2590
That hilarious price tag though.
I believe this is just a repackaged California Tweed 2:20. Check all the specs and compare videos. The Cali Tweed has a front panel...clear winner for me!
OK if this is true, I’m gonna definitely buy these Giibson amplifiers and I will team them up with my Giibson Firebird guitar and my Giibson Les Paul guitar man. I am so happy now I can’t believe it. Everything seems to be going good right now. Thank you so much Giibson.💰💰💰💰
@johnbohlinger that intro was sweet but that outro was even sweeter.
Great playing!!
Sweet sounds John!
Hey DO you have a brother that's an actor, who has appeared on Star Wars:The Book Of Boba Fett?
Big fan, but not my kin. Thanks
@@johnbohlinger Wow! You know who I'm talking about right? The dude that played Cob Vanth! COULD be your brother or a cousin! A fellow Montanan was well judging by the accent!
His name is Tym Olyphant.
Is the tremolo ticking?
Sounds like it. Everyone in here saying the tremolo sounds good has wax in their ears. Sounded like ass.
The original was GA-19RVT. Falcon
Had one 1962 used for harp great amp !
@@markwalmsley5892 for sure. I got one for guitar
Why not open one up (it’s just four screws) and show the circuit board with the preamp tubes mounted on the circuit board? That would make for a more complete review. These are highly over priced for circuit board amps.
Horizontally mounted at that. Well that'll last forever!
Did you happen to mention what drive/delay pedals you used in the video? I’m loving the sounds you got out of the 20!
Awesome! Do you know what pickups are in that first guitar?
Those are the stock pickups...it's a 2019.
@@johnbohlinger4868Thanks John!! Hope you are doing well man
It sounds great, but Gibson's claims that it's made in the USA and handwired is misleading. The Preamp tubes are mounted on a most likely made in China PCB. It's similar in quality to budget Peavey and Crate USA amps of the 1990"s that retailed for $300.
Very tasty
You should show the inside of the amp to be genuine with people about what you actually get for the inflated price of these amps.
Thanks for sharing.. Do these have effects loops?
Gibson saw all that fender 5 and 20 watt amps selling like there's no tomorrow and jumped. But is it to little to late to make a mark? They do look and sound great though. Methinks to buy one
Looks like someone's been rolling their own cigarettes on the top of the 20. (!?)
Not sure what is the point of the 5 watts if it is possible to use the 20 watts also in 1 watts or 5 watts. Maybe the 5 watts sounds better at low volume than the bigger one on a 5 watts setting but it is not apparent from the video. I know that they are not supposed to be mimicking the same old amp but still the 20 watts seems more versatile... Both sound good thought.
The price seems a little off, it is probably not really well built for such a price for an amp made in the US (probably PCBs made in China and assembled in the US, with plastic connectors, hence the "hand wired" affirmation (if the tube socket are on the chassis it may be that bad, but yes Messa as the reputation of not making really well built amp, so we will have to wait and see for a tech to take it apart).
Peavey Classic 30, now that's a real amp, without the printed circuit board nonsense....
It would have been nice to have them back making REAL quality amps. These are garbage (circuit board nonsense with tubes mounted to the board?!!!) Come on John, you know better man.
I normally skip right to "Let's dime this pig"
Magnatone/Supro competitor!?
are these point to point wiring?
or hand wired or do they have a printed circuit board?
Handwired by Mesa/Boogie team in Petaluma, CA.
Another reviewer just told me that this amp has printed circuit boards.
Not sure who to believe.
In my opinion point to point amps just sound better. Fender even now sells a point to point Princeton again. It's twice as much as their Princeton that has a printed circuit board.
@@noslen954 If you look at the listing on Gibson's site, the amp has "Hand-wired in Petaluma, CA" printed on the back. At least on the 20, but idk why the other one would be any different.
Hand wired on a pcb?
@@johngerson7335 interesting! I suppose if it were p2p they would say that and charge even more for it. The web listing says “Duo-Class wiring” which I haven’t found any info about yet.
Is the reverb digital or does it have a tank?
What pedal are we using for gain?
Brad The Guitologist including this video o yours in his latest diatribe. Thoughts? (By the way that Paul o yours is to DIE for)
What kind of Les Paul is that gold top? Did you mod a studio?
A music City Les Paul.. heavy modded.
@@johnbohlinger Thanks for the reply!
That’s the shit I own 2 Gibson falcons play them in stereo. Are these hand wired or pcb
Handwired in Petaluma, CA, by the Mesa/Boogie crew
They’re pcb.
@@premierguitarPCB. Stop lying for Gibson. Open it up and show it on video. Gibson won't let you will they...
your playing is fine- price is ridiculous.
Is the falcon 20 20 watts 15 watts or 12 watts?
12W/5/1
Believe me when I say this. 12 watts can go a lot harder than you think
@@premierguitar And 15/6/2 if you opt for the 6V6 I think.
Careful what Premier tells you. They also said these were hand wired. That's BS.
Hmmmmmmmmm a rebranded mesa boogie mk 1 amp?
Have you played a Mark I? It's nothing like this amp..
Just dont crank it!
You can get one for 400 bucks in a year or so at guitar center.
Just like my GA42rvt!
Dude, I need this amp! Is it true bypass? Does it have a sweet spot? Is it transgender friendly? Covid compatible? Can it get Eddy's "Smells like teen spirit" tone? Asking for a friend
Pretty sure I can't afford it....
... and if you could, it'll probably be stolen in 60 seconds!
Falcon 5: $1,499; Falcon 20: 1,799
Yup, can’t afford em
I would just buy a real one
these amps are nothing like the old ones. open one up, you will see the design is garbage.
Anyone see a gutshot of either of these?!? 😂😂😂 YOU REALLY SHOULD
This looks like a Crate amp. The guts are troublesome.
Nice big hair, John ;)
So much haters in the comments. Gosh
Another Gibson shill who refuses to show the guts of these pure junk, circuit board amps.
