Frequently Asked Questions

The Falcon 20 has less clean headroom than a Deluxe Reverb; it breaks up sooner and has a darker, more compressed character.
While the amp is designed for 6V6 or 6L6, experimenting with other tube types is generally not recommended without modifications and could damage the amplifier.
The tremolo has a single Depth control, offering a basic pulsating effect, but lacks a dedicated speed adjustment.
