Harley Benton HB-40R Reviews

Amazing.

Wouldn't recommend any other amp for a beginner or for anyone interested in playing electric. The features for the price are literally a steal. A solid well built product.

VFM

i use it for my bass too for practice, no problems!

Cheap, but powerful amp

Very powerful, i barely play over half the volume, nice space in the back to store all your cabels.

Cheap amp, BIG sound

This amp sounds really great for it's price, and it can get REALLY loud, atleast for practice situations it can. I really recommend it for metalheads, as you can dial in a pretty good thrash tone on it. Some people dislike the distorted channel's tone on this amp, but if you mess with the knobs a bit, you can get it to sound good. The reverb is also really good, very useful for clean tones and leads. Overall, this is a great amp, especially for beginners, or people who wouldn't like to spend too much on gear.

HB quality as usual.

This "handy" light & loud budget amp is my ideal stage partner. Real guitar sound with 'line out' in case of need for more. All works perfectly well with my sound system.

Enough with digital disappointment sounds, this is a true guitarists amp.

Very good eq range and, with (careful adjustments) , the overdrive has its own sweet spots, could need a trained ear to find.

I own some big name quality guitar amps, I've been 'guitaring for 61yrs now, but this little beauty is so refreshing to use. I even got the 20w version of this amp. Love them:-)

Great power

Couldn't ask for more, loud and clear.

This is one small Kick Butt Amplifier

In the USA just buy a 50W+ step down transformer. These come with the proper plug arrangements for use on standard 110V 60Hz. Power for this small attractive amplifier is great. Free of distortion and reverb feature a big plus. Perfect for the beginner or advanced player using for practice or on the go. What a great value for what you get!

Good Amp for a good price

Too loud :) The only disadvantage is a small problem with one knob that is too stiff in my opinion.

Its decent for a solid state amp

Using in a small indoor setting. The clean sounds are really good, reverb is good as well. Overdrive channel sounds muddy, can get good rock sounds out of this, maybe even thrash, but metal and heavy metal sounds will need pedals. Tweaking around with the settings did not give a high quality sounding metal tone, but it is way better than the average 10w sh**box amp tone that you're probably used to from your beginner amp.

Personally, i would never buy this as a long term amp, tube amps are the way to go for that, the sound is unmatched. But if you are a beginner or someone who needs an amp for practice in an emergency situation, this is a good choice.

Amp is ok for the money.

Perfect for beginners

A very good amp with sensitive equalizer, helps me play with clear low volume when i need.

Reverb is good enough for my surf riffs.

Also auto off after some minutes without use is great.

Low price for high quality.

GOOD AMP!

IT'S WORK FOR RECORDING AMPS!

For this price,very good..

Okay for starters

The amp doesn't offer much and the overdrive channel often sounded way too dirty, but it works well for entry level guitarists. The only con is its weight - for what it offers, I feel like it's a bit too heavy when carrying around.

Nice amp to study at home or even to jam with friends.

pros:

Sounds good clean and with overdrive (dedicated channel) The reverb button is plus. Support headphones and aux in.

cons:

Some buttons are a little hard to spin. Not a big issue.

A good and powerful combo for little money.

A good and powerful combos for little money. This is my first combos ,I like how it sounds. You can easily customize it for yourself. 2 channels. The only minus sometimes my girlfriend swears because of the volume )))

Big sound

I was shocked at the max sound out of this, straight out of the box, boom, nice just rolled back a touch, nice having a reverb onboard, good solid amp for practice and small venues, love it.

Good quality

It has a very nice sound, it looks good i like all the features that it has and for the price it gives it's one of the best.

I don't know much about amps in general, but for something that was the first time purchase it definitely seems like a quality product. The design is simple, yet effective,

Harley Benton Practise amp

This was my first little Amp and is still working great sound etc . It is a perfect start up amp . Fairly priced and has a good output about 40watt. I used it to learn and practise on at home. It is fitted with base/mid and treble controls,foot switch connection if needed. reverb...this is spring type. Line in and out. There are at least another 5 or 6 features I haven't mentioned. Is it value for money.. Well yes it is and when the time comes as it does a bigger more high tec amp can be purchased.
