Lyle Workman, LA Session ace and STING 2005-2006 tour guitar player:
"The V18 is a great sounding, well thought out little beast. It's dynamically responsive and is a joy to play through. The added bonus of gain controls on a footswitch is a genius idea and adds to it's versatility. This one's a winner!" [read more]
Pete Anderson, Grammy Award-winning Guitarist/Producer:
"Just the right amount of GRIT - Great for Blues.... Love the harmonic sweep in the back of the amp - From tight to loose harmonic distortion. Outstanding..." [read more]
Justin Ostrander, Nashville:
"I have been playing for 12 or 13 years, and I just moved to Nashville to play music full time. If the amp were lost or stolen, I would find a way to get another one. " [read more]
Mike Scheuchzer, MercyMe:
"I just pulled mine out of the box this morning and am in the studio recording of all things, a Christmas record in April!!! Straight out of the box this amp sounds incredible....the cab is a 2-12 loaded 1 celestion blue, and one celestion greenback. All I can say is WOW!!!!..." [read more]

Brad Wigg, The Afters
"Cool thing is that I can use an A/B switch to go from Vox to Marshall at any time just like having two amps. But I DON'T have two amps. I have one amp that is very, very lightweight and portable. And soooooo pretty. It's like looking at a formula one race car." [read more]

Welcome to Gabriel Sound Garage myspace!
It's been said that big (or louder) is better... That's long passè...
After years of trying our best to play at deafening volumes, growing
calluses on our eardrums (if we still have them), and blowing roofs off our houses - all in an attempt to reach that sweet spot in tone- there seems to be a migration, if not a trend, towards low wattage amps. We discovered that we can enjoy tone, not long after it.
We discovered that there is a whole world where simplicity is still the secret
ingredient of pure, organic results. Why not enjoy healthy, organic, true, unmistakable tone with an identity of a long-gone era at sane volumes?

Hello Gabriel, your amps seem to be highly interesting, I've never seen 'em here in Italy: any way to hear some samples? Do you produce only low-wattage amps?
