1961 Junior & 1965 GA17 RVT

If you prefer something older we have a c. 1943 Gibson EH-125 Tube Amplifier for you. - This rarely seen version of the EH-125 amplifier was only available in this period; the catalog model is virtually identical except for showing a 6-tube chassis configuration. This amp features 3 inputs; two microphone and one instrument, along with a single volume control for the microphone input only. The push-pull dual-6V6 power section puts out around 10-12 watts into a field-coil speaker, somewhat less powerful than its far more celebrated big brother the EH-150, and has a lower-wattage cleaner but still attractively snarly tone when pushed. - - - - #gibsonamp #gibsoneh125 #eh125 #tubeamplifier #vintagetubeamp #gibsunday #tubeamps #tubeampsrock (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoS2_e8O3xm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A ripping plug-and-play duo with one of my all time favorite amps. The Bell-branded Gibson GA-78 RV is a little fire breather. #Gibson #Lespaul #Gibsonamp #vintageGibson (at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/B89x4bdgxQV/?igshid=hkwlaqhmxy0b

Something you don’t see often...Classic Gibson Amplifier #gibson #gibsonamp #amplifiers

1965 #Gibson #GA17 RVT #Scout #amp 1961 Gibson #LesPaul Junior I am still buzzing from last weekend's epiphany that you don't have to spend $2,000 or more to get a great amp. As mentioned in previous posts, this Scout is the least expensive (by several hundred dollars) #vintageamp I have ever bought, costing 1/4 to 1/6th the price of many of the vintage Fenders I have bought in the past. And yet it sounds as good as any of them...albeit "different"... Some thoughts so far: Pros: 1) PRICE - for an all original mid 60s amp in good condition, the price is substantially less expensive relative to other #vintageamps made by #Fender. 2) Headroom - it's super crisp and clean right up until about 8 or 9 on the volume knob. If I used pedals I would say "takes pedals well!" 😂 3) Looks - no, I am not shallow! My main thing is taking pictures - I don't want gear that isn't photogenic! 🤣 Cons: Stuff I found, um, not actually "bad" about the amp, but let's just say stuff I needed to get "used to": 1) No #tone or tremolo blend controls - the amp is set to permanent bright and you have to use your #guitar tone knob to darken it. Similarly, the trem is either "on" at full intensity, or "off". There is no mixing or blending it in with the signal. This is a minor issue for me as I use my guitar tone knob anyway (I almost never touch the amp tone control), and on the rare occasions I do use tremolo, I pretty much always use it on full blast anyway. 2) Sound - the sound is definitely "different" from what I am used to. It is super crisp and clear...almost TOO clear! At lower volumes it feels a bit anemic and thin. However, if you pump it up to past halfway the thinness fills out nicely (but stays clean). Again not a huge issue for me because I tend to turn all my amps all the way up and then use my guitar volume control to keep the volume apartment-friendly...I just find all amps sound better this way To me the pros FAR outweigh the cons and I will be looking for more #Gibsonamps going forward! #gibsonamp #vintageamp #vintageguitar #vintagegibson #guitarphotography #guitars #gibsonguitar #gibsonlespaul #sgjunior #lespauljunior
