For any one considering a Gibson Falcon 20, please be aware that the amp does indeed have a fan inside. This is not mentioned anywhere in their sales literature, the user manual and schematics, or in any YouTube review (as of Jan. 23, 2024).

There is no playing in the video, just an example of the fan noise. The mic was held about three feet above the amp.

This post is not to dissuade anyone from buying the Falcon 20, just to make buyers aware.

Personally, I found the fan to be too loud and disruptive for my use (nighttime low-level playing); however, if you intend to use the amp in noisy environments and/or if you push the volume above conversation levels I don't believe this will not be noticeable.
