Joe G Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I am looking for any information about a Gibson Falcon Amp I own. It is a late model (1968?) "Guitar Series" amp. I am hoping to get this amp rebuilt and information on this model is scarce. Most of the information I have found relates to the GA-19RVT Falcon which is different from mine.

LPDEN Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 If you're looking for schematics, you can google and see what you come up with, or try to find another owner of your model and ask them if they can scan and e-mail you a copy of their's.

LPDEN Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I just found this link for you, not sure if your model is in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 Thank you Dennis. The Guitar Series Falcon on the website unfortunately is close but not the same as mine. The component layout lists V4 tube as a 12AX7 and my component layout schematic inside the amp lists V4 as a 12AT7. I am not surprised as it seems like Gibson was using any parts they had on hand to build these amps and when the part supply got low they would just start using a different part. I am planning to send this amp out to be refurbished this summer and I am trying to get as much information about before we start. - Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDEN Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Ok, sorry it wasn't there... What part of Joisy are you in? I know a good tech who works in bergen county that might be able to help you out. I think he hangs out on the TDPRI.com site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a flurry of these (not specificly what you have) on eBay and have been thinking about giving one them a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Got in touch with Rob and I will bring the amp to him this week so that he can look it over. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
