great amp for the price

light, compact, but packs a decent punch. More than enough for practice at home or smaller settings. Two channels with separate volumes, easy tone controls, built in reverb, and MP3 input headphone outputs. great product at a fantastic price, would recommend this item. Excellent service and speedy delivery

Small, but

Lovely little amp!

Two channels with separate volumes, easy tone controls, built in reverb, plenty loud enough, and nice features like MP3 input and headphone outputs.

Only thing missing is ability to use footswitch for channel selection.

Just what a little man needs for their first amp!

Harley Benton 20-R amp

This hb-20r amp well constructed at this price point.

Iv cranked this all the way and it handles fine with the gain turned down slightly it can handle full volume,not that you need to as 20 watts is loud enough for a practice amp at low volumes,in a practice environment.

Sound quality:: it's got a good all round tone, with the gain turned up it has the desired grunt you need for some rock or blues tones,for metal tones you would really need a distortion pedal, metal pedal i'v just reviewed the Harley Benton metal pedal ,this is a great combo with this amp for metal overdriven tones,highly recommended,

This amp has a spring reverb effect on it which is good.

The handle is ok for a plastic handle.

Basic features overall, fantastic value for money at this price.

Is very good to use at home.

The equalizer is working fine, you can get very different ways if you use equaliser.

Clean and warm sounding

This mini monster proved itself in a garden party. Some of us played it next to a small acoustic drum and it was still perfectly clear and warm sounding despite it being only a 20Watt unit. The installed distortion is a bit disappointing, but still good enough for a fun time. Not good enough for a club gig, but this is not it's purpose. The EQ on it is easy to use and does the job well. The clean sound is very pleasant (suprisingly so!), but the distortion is only useful if you have it near you (or if you use an external unit for it). The build quality is great, and it is heavier than it looks, so for the price it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

practise amp

Wow! What a great little amp. I bought this as part of a guitar bundle and was expecting something cheap and nasty, but what a surprise, this is made well is strong and sturdy and sounds great. Has everything I need form a practise amp. Love the ipod plug in. Would recommend this as a great buy and a great price.

A top quality amp and no mistake ...at this price point you dont expect much but this amp is way better than i could have expected ..great sounding reverb and huge amounts of tone ..built like a tank so good for small gigs or jam sessions with mates ..but its loud!! so dont be fooled by its size..great amp!

Don't know how they do this for the money!

Bought my brother a guitar and this amp just for practice. I already had a Fender practice amp myself. To be honest I wasn't expecting much but I got a very nice surprise. This is excellent value and although there are no fancy effects it has overdrive and clean. Both work remarkably well (for the money). Seriously thinking

of getting rid of the Fender and getting one of these instead for quarter the money. Highly recommended.

Excelent Amp

Like it very much. Well worth the money. The sound is very good for a lower end amp, it would be hard to find something as good for twice the price. I have only had had it for a short time but looks as though it would last a lifetime. Buy it.

great features in a simple to use box

Contemporary piece of equipment - no noise, nice handling, good power - all that means - great features in a simple to use box. Sound is deep and crispy and ... not a single spark of noise. Real pleasure for home training amp.

Awesome

I really like it a lot. You get the best sounds with headphones, Gain: 5, Treble: 5, Middle: 0-5, and Bass: 5-10 and overdrive, of course! It's very good, if there were effects, it would be even better, but it's awesome. There ain't reasons, why to insult Harley Benton, it's the same quality, but 100€ cheaper.

Ich binbegeistert.

Ein eicht guter Verstärker. Er kommt qualitativ natürlich nicht an einen Orange ran aber für den Preis hab ich noch keinen besseren Verstärker gefunden. Ideal für E-Gitarren anfänger.

Very Good Amp

This amp is a "box" really nice and very practical lightweight with excellent dimensions for carry.

It has an excellent price-quality relationship, are good clean, the overdrive is quite, does not have much strength in general but comes to practice and use in home and small spaces, if you consider the price and is a good bet although it is limited and does not have effects beyond the overdrive, and accepts an effects pedal.

Equalization is practical and efficient for basic.

Has left for headphones so useful to train and exit to connect to another column quite practical for playing in larger venues.

I found none that hit this at the same price and all tests so far have left me satisfied by the acquisition, connected with an electric violin despite not having reverb reproduces excellent sound.

I recommend
