Great sounding reverb & tremolo. All original parts & they still work perfectly. I do wish the amp was a little more powerful because a hard hitting drummer can just about make it disappear.

I play a Gibson Les Paul Custom & a ES-335. They both sound superb through this amp. I haven't tried any single coils through it but feel sure they would sound good to. This is simply a vintage all tube guitar amp. They don't come any more pure. Great clean tone w/just enough overdrive for some sweet blues playing. No major distortion w/this amp which I don't mind because I use it for what it does best.

I own several amps, Marshall DSL 50, Budda SD 30 2x12 combo, 1960 Gibson Lancer. All are good amps for what they do. I love the falcon & would definitely replace it if lost or stolen. For small clubs or recording this is a great little amp for clean & bluesy playing. I would definitely get it miked good in a live setting because it is not a loud amp.

Features are cool, The verb and tremelo are great! Has the original footswitch. Wish it had a little more stage volume. I use it mostly for recording ,although live I can mic it. Tubes are warm and at high volume distort nicely.

My playing styles vary. Mostly blues and rock-a billy and this amp shines with both. A little under powered for clubs, it can get swallowed up by drums. It is nice and clean at low volumes, but turn it up and it gets angry sounding(in a good way)!

I have had this amp for many years. I first heard it playing in a house band with another guitar player and was blown away by it. I then looked for one for about 6 years. I believe they are original tubes and speaker and when I purchased it, it had the owners manual. It was also in great shape.

I've been playing guitar for 22 years and have several guitars and amps. If it were stolen I would look for another for sure. I love the tone, wattage is low, but this amp is smooth as silk with a Strat, Tele or Les Paul
