Both being in basically very good condition. I think the Gibson would have a 12” speaker. Are they in the same league?

Not really. There’s a reason why the Gibson costs less (assuming it does).
I’ve not had a Falcon, but I’ve been through a couple other Gibson amps from the ‘60s. They really are their own thing. Turns out they weren’t my thing. 😉
You really want to play the Gibson to see if it’s for you.

I have long liked a couple of Gibson amps because of their clean, chimey tone. Wish I had either that or an early 70’s Fender silverface Pro Reverb for it’s clean chimey tone.

Princeton Reverb is basically a club-sized Deluxe Reverb. They are very similar. PR's are generally dead nuts blackface tone.

The Gibson is getting a MIA reissue shortly - they've had teases about the bird relaunching.

Thanks for posting Eric. I love the beautiful clean tone the guy playing the old Falcon was getting. Didn’t care for the stuff being played on the new models. |

My PR is good for me. Thanks Leftee! |
