TUBE15 Celestion : Great amp for false beginner

5 years ago

I bought this amp because I had experience with old Harley Benton tube amps. They had great sound and were also cheap. I wanted small amp with gain and reverb, and I also wanted the amp to be nice looking.

I`m false begginer. I play guitar almost ten years, but there are periods, when I`m on fire and I want to play every minute, then something happen and I don`t play for weeks, even months. I play only for fun in living room, but have dreams of jaming with friends one day. So I wanted something quite small, cheap, with nice tone. And switch button for lowering watts is also benefit.

It`s really nice playing amp (but I`m not sure, if I can judge:). From my point of view is this amp bluesy, but can do rock as well and clean tone could be used for some funky. Personaly play on volume 4-5 at max with gain down, and if I gain it to max, I have to put volume to 1-2. With 1W option! So it`s pretty loud beast. I did not try it on max, tho...

Also, amp looks great! I have to say, that it`s nice accesory in my living room with guitars on the wall above.

If you don`t need to switch between channels (clean/gain), have tight budget and also like this "retro" look, I thing, that HB TUBE15 will satisfy you.
