Bluemoon Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Mike, Can you get Gibson to add a Topic area here where we can talk about amps--all brands of amps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolff Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I'll second that request. Where is Mike anyway?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 There is an amp section..A Gibson amp section. Honestly, do you know anyone who has one? Nor do I ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 good point, deepblue, unless you're a studio musician or you only play at room levels, most musicians prefer Marshall, Vox, Fender, Crate, Line6, etc... an all-brand amp section would be nice.

Bluemoon Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Each month I think Gibson should present a forum member with a free gift--signed copy of a photo of Les Paul, an all-expense paid trip to the Gibson factory, a new Les Paul, a free plek job...you get the picture. How about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 There is an amp section..A Gibson amp section. Honestly' date=' do you know anyone who has one?Nor do I ![/quote'] I dont... I asked about them once... to no avail... I guess people who buy Gibson amps spend their free time playing... as opposed to people who buy Gibson guitars, that spend their free time in this forum I would like to see an actual (real) pic of a Gibson amp (the bigger ones)... does any known artist use them? How are they supopsed to sound like? (seeing as most tube amps are either marshall, fender, or vox's original desing improvements...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voyteskimo Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Would be sweet to talk about amps... I myself am a Marshall Man... JCM2000 DSL 401 combo amp makes ANY guitar sound like a million bucks, and makes Gibsons sound like the forbidden fruits of music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolff Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 My suggestion is to have a section for Amplifiers and Effects. Or else Mike can just make me an admin and I'll set it up. ...just kidding guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadCase Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have Gibson amps.... Super Gold Tone combos. They sound great, and you can play them at lower levels. Of course ... they're best cranked. Pretty sure Joe Perry & Rick Nielsen played Gibson Super Gold Tone combos & stacks. The 5 watt LP Jr. amp is pretty cool too. I'm surprised more people don't have these Gibsons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_HEWC Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Boogie for me. Murph. Yeah! Boogies are great! I have a Studio .22+ that I love, and I have a serious GAS for a newer one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Daddy Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 There is an amp section..A Gibson amp section. Honestly' date=' do you know anyone who has one?Nor do I ![/quote'] I have a Gibson Les Paul Junior Goldtone amp that I'm very happy with...only six watts and a single volume control but it's PLENTY loud enough for home playing and I'm not that much into tweaking anyway. Very articulate, pick sensitive and it handles pedals very well. I love it! <g> I bought it new for $300 when Musician's Friend had a clearance sale last year.

deepblue Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Hey guys, im not coming down on Gibson amps. I have never tried one, its just that they are not as popular as say Marshall, Fender etc. Im sure they sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Paul Fanatic Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Sam Ashe in Nashville had a Gibson Half Stack. Oh you meant like real people?? /chuckle heck no! Yeah Sam Ash does have one isn't it right under the Epiphone section or did they move it to the back room where all the little punks go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hey guys' date=' im not coming down on Gibson amps....Im sure they sound great.[/quote'] They do! Most are lower powered, EL84 based amps, very smooth and compressed when turned up loud, and they have excellent reverb and tremolo circuits. An amp section/topic would be a great idea. We talk a lot about them anyway! Might as well make it legit. I have popped into the Gibson and Epiphone amp sections, but there is very little talk there, however.

ChanMan Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yeah Sam Ash does have one isn't it right under the Epiphone section or did they move it to the back room where all the little punks go. Last time I was there it was still out with the Epis. Looked cool, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stymye Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I wouldn't mind snagging an old gibson Falcon, they can still be had for a reasonable price. Ebay Falcon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
