TUBE5 Celestion : Cute and usable.

3 years ago

A novelty really. I owned an Eppi valve junior 10 years ago, same amp, but with slight variations, I used it lots, my music style has changed though, I have a cleaner sound now.

The HB tube 5 is a very similar amp, but with a tone control & 6v6 power tube, so having more clean sound than the Eppi, clean until vol knob is at the top, from there the increase in volume stops and turns into a distortion knob, no louder, simply more distortion, smooth valve distortion, "the real thing", it's darned loud too.

The tone control has a big range making it adaptable to more guitar styles and more guitars.

Small & light, the tube5 is good for small bars up to 15-20 audience. I love this little beauty, I'll use it plenty for Sunday afternoon gigs with the lads in my local bar.

And a great price too.
