Gabriel (amplifiers)

Gabriel is an American manufacturer of boutique guitar amplifiers. Founded by former Romanian, now American citizen Gabriel Bucataru in 2005, the company produces expensive hand-built, all-tube amplifiers that have earned praise from professional reviewers--Vintage Guitar hailed the "impeccable built quality" and the "high end/high quality vibe" of the Voxer 33, and Guitar Player called the Voxer 18 "ultra-rich" and "with more versatility than many vintage amps can muster."
