Sound Bites

(they really do!)
Please note that these clips do not and can't 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... :-)

Justin Ostrander, an exquisit session guitar player in Nashville, is demoing the Gabričl V33 2x12" combo with several pedals. Gabriel amps are notorious for digesting the pedals extremely well without the need of a effect loop:

Guitar World PLATINUM AWARD for design & quality

The latest but not least British-style class "A" V33 watt comes out of our garage as a result of our customers requests who wanted a tad bit more power just enough to cover over that loud drummer or needing that extra bit of headroom for those clear and sparkly tones.
Excelent tone bite, preserving that unmisteakable Gabriel V33 character with excellent note separation and extremely touch-sensitive dinamic response. Match it up with you favorite speaker cabinet design.
Comes loaded with the same delicious features as its younger brother, the V18. Available in 2x12" COMBO format also.

EL 84EL 84

Powered by 4x EL84 tubes

Characteristic to Class A amplifiers, the 4x EL84 tubes deliver the much coveted Low-Gain 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.

Happy V33 Users


Justin Ostrander, Nashville:

Matt Campbell, guitarist for Leeland:
"It adds so much to the sound of our band that was not there before. I use many other vintage amps all the time, and the V33 far exceeds the many of them in tone.. ..."[read more]
