Falcon

The Falcon is a painstaking JFET emulation of two legendary amp circuits: the 5E3 Tweed Deluxe and the 6G2 Brownface Princeton. Every detail of the preamp, phase inverter, and power amp was replicated, including compression and sag from the power amp and tube rectifier sections.

Three controls keep things simple. Volume sets the gain intensity (like the original amps), Tone smooths or brightens the signal and interacts with the volume control, and Output adjusts the effect level. A 55/61 toggle switch morphs between the warm, rich Tweed voicing and the tighter Brownface response.

Highly dynamic and responsive to picking attack and guitar volume changes. Guitar Player Editor's Pick, January 2022. 9V DC, center-negative.
