IIRC, the "Falcon was the model name for the GA19RT or RVT series.. There is very little circuit continuity between examples of a given Gibson model, and therefore a whiteface, chromeface or "woody" GA19 Falcon are all different and might not match the published schematics either. PS, the reverb tank, if not original, may have been erroneously replaced with a Fender-style transfomer driven reverb tank ---- but Gibson often used a capacitor-driven circuit and so a Fender type tank wont work.
@@roncarter2188 , as an example of Gibson's inconsistency, look at the Skylark models. There's a version with a 6V6, a version with a 6BM8 or two, a version with two EL84s, and a version with two 6AQ5's! As for the GA19RVT, the only one I played through ( brown tolex, rusty chrome faceplate) had issues (no shortage of hum) but sounded very much like a Deluxe Reverb, with plenty of smooth lush reverb. Anyway, did you look for date codes on this amp?
@@goodun2974 You nailed it! I have a 1959 Gibsonette and the one I have uses two 6bm8 and another model uses two 6v6's so there you go....I'm going to shoot a video on the Gibsonette maybe tonight or tomorrow. I really live that amp, it's definitely a keeper! I'm planning on building a clone with the same tube lineup. It's a Japanese made little pa head with the exact tube lineup except for the rectifier tube is different.
