Gabriel (amplifiers)

Gabriel is an American manufacturer of boutique[1] guitar amplifiers. Founded by former Romanian, now American citizen Gabriel Bucataru[2] in 2005,[3] 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,[4] and Guitar Player called the Voxer 18 "ultra-rich" and "with more versatility than many vintage amps can muster."[5]
