Verified · 80/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Gibson GA-17RVT is a late-GA-series combo with reverb and tremolo in a 17-watt 6V6-powered configuration. Produced during the mid-1960s height of American combo amp popularity, the GA-17RVT delivers warm, compressed clean tones with the added texture of spring reverb and vintage tremolo. It occupies a practical sweet spot in the GA lineup — loud enough for rehearsal and small stages, yet tonally rich and full-featured enough for recording and professional use.
