This combo is suitable for beginners.

I bought this amp to experiment with sound, and wanted to get acquainted with the combo from Harley Benton.

Excellent sound for its price, did not expect it would be so loud and powerful. But his overdrive he is not very good, it is not even overdrive, and full of wheeze, so it is best to use the pedals. For example with my tube distortion pedal it sounds amazing. Also, it sounds good with my transistor pedal distortion. It seems that this amp is worth a good speaker. But if you twist the volume knob is more than half, they begin to clog the low frequencies. By the way, the equalizer on this amp is quite flexible. Allows for different sound.

Good started amp

This amp was great for the price. Sounds are pretty decent for a beginner.(I purchased this for a 12 year old). The distortion channel surprised me, it sounded quite nice.

Light, solid, good sound

The amp itself is small and easily transportable. It feels solid despite being light and also includes a removable grip on top of the amplifier to make transportation easier.

Feature-wise, it has two modes: clean and overdrive, basic onboard knobs for Bass, Middle and Treble as well as Volume and a Gain knobs. Unlike HB-20G the volume control on this one doubles as the volume control for the overdrive too.

The clean channel is really nice and suitable for "bluesy" sound. By setting the gain and playing around with the various settings you can produce a wide range of distorted sounds within the limits the solid-state nature of the amplifier permits. If you intend to use it with a multi-effect try the clean channel first and let the effect do your distortion for you.

Beginners: make no mistake, this amp is LOUD. 10 Watts is more than enough for a practice amp and possibly way more than necessary when living in an apartment. The headphone-out port on this model is ideal for practicing at night and makes a really good combination with wireless headphones.

Worth Money - Begginer's option

Great choice for a begginer who just started playing guitar . The price is very good as the product is what was meant exactly to be . Strong build , fair good volumes ! The only "negative" point is the lack of very in depth equalizer but as I already said the money are totally worth for a begginer .

Bought as a gift

Got this as part of a package with hb strat. Ideal for a bedroom or office practice, very compact. Has overdrive effect and is louder than expected. Only downside is that it came with euro 2 pin plug on a captive lead, so needed adapter.
