  1. Sounds great!... I just bought one of these, it's in pretty bad shape so I got it cheap...The prices for these amps have gone way up lately, so I decided to take a chance on a salvage job...Hoping to have it restored once I get the cash together...The guy threw in an old empty Gibson cabinet which I should be able to scavenge to make it look pretty decent in the end... The ones from the Crestline era, such as yours, used different tubes from prior iterations and the schematic for these is actually the one for the Maestro M-216 RVT...(Gibson made amps under the Maestro brand as well as Epiphone)...I've attached a copy for anyone interested or might need it... Someone mentioned removing the tone suck part of the circuit that basically takes out a lot of low end and ends up making the amp sound very shrill...There's a great youtube video where a guy walks you through this exact process..In the end he compares 3 Falcon amps of similar vintage to yours but in different states of modification...I found it pretty fascinating...Check it out here... Btw, I dig your playing, sounds cool to me!...Cheers....
