Gibson "boutique" amplifier
1 x 8 inch speaker with a 5 watt class A amplifier. Valve powered with 12AX7, EL84 and tubes. (solid state rectifier)
Point to point wiring.
Simple amp without even a tone control! Sound: [9]
5 watts but quite loud. I use it in my home/garage studio but have to time it right when I crank it up. The place is fairly well insulated but it does break through.
Clean sound is great - especially for jazz style tones.
I wouldn't really want to play it with a band unless miked up.
With my P90 equipped Gibson archtop the top is fabulous. I play jazz and some blues and this does both well - cranked up for the blues and lower and clean for the jazz.
My son plugs his Strat in too and loves it.
Reliability & Durability: [7]
Seems very well made but having only had it for just over a year it's difficult to tell if it'll stand the test of time. So far so good.
Overall Rating: [9]
Relatively expensive but this is a QUALITY amp.
Pure and simple would just about sum up this Gibson amp.
If you are looking at this then I guess you are considering it. Find one at a store and give it a go - I'm sure you'll be happy with the tone.
