Frequently Asked Questions
The Falcon 5 is generally darker and more harmonically rich than a Champ, with a more pronounced midrange thanks to the Jensen speaker and Gibson voicing.
It's a classic, non-tremolo spring reverb; it's well-implemented and adds a pleasant ambience, but isn't overly splashy or overpowering.
While the amp is designed for 6V6 or 6L6, experimenting with other power tubes isn’t recommended without professional bias adjustment to avoid damage.
