Sound Bites
(they really do!)
Please note that these clips do not and cannot represent the amp's tone accurately since there are so many constants that affect the recorded tone from the speaker cabinet to your computer speakers.
The amp tone actually sounds thousands times better if heard live. These are here only to give you a hint of what they amps actually sounds like. Sort of like the roasting garlic aroma coming from the kitchen that sits around the roast. Sorry, vegetarians, I really do not have a more appropiate example for you... :-)

Gabriel V18 Guitar Amp Combo
Social bookmark to:
The guitar amp combo version of the famed V18 gives you the opportunity of having to
go only once to your car to unload. The same Class "A" British-style all tubed, hand wired, point-to-point, resurecting a well known tone but at a fraction of its original price.
Living in a cozy, beautiful enclosure, the Gabriel V18 Guitar Amp Combo comes in a 2x12" (57 lbs) or 1x12" (40 lbs) speaker configuration.
I decided to use exclusivly Celestion guitar speakers, precisely the Blue and
the Greenback since they bring out that specific organic character I am after. Be that in a 2x12" guitar amp combo combination using a Greenback and a AlNiCo Blue or a 1x12" using the AlNiCo Blue or the Greenback.
"The V18 compares favorably or even exceeds the tone of the amps that inspired it..." said the Vintage Guitar Magazine review.
Please be in complete agreement with your wife before buying it...
Powered by 2x EL84 tubes
Characteristic to Class A amplifiers, the dual EL84
tubes deliver the much coveted overdrive wich is distinct from the
"hi-gain" amps that have it formed in that preamp tubes instead. The
result is a pure mud-free overdrive with its rich overtones (even-order)
that gets fatter by every notch on the Volume dial.
