Harley Benton Mighty-5TH 4-stars Reviews

Nice little amp but eq is a bit lacking

I intended this head for home use with a 1x12 cab.

I only used it set clean, didn't care for the singular tube distorted tones.

I feel the head is a good pedal platform, but it's a bit lacking in the eq department. With harley benton 1x12 V30 cab, I wasn't able to dial in enough high frequencies even with highs set to max. There was also a lot of low mids that made it sound a bit boxy and couldn't be dialled out. With Palmer 1x12 cab that has naturally a lot of high frequency content, it was much better, but still a bit too middy with les paul.

I think this head is very good for the price, if you have a cabinet that plays well with it and has enough highs. I also think it takes ST type guitars better than LP or SG.

In the end I decided to return the amp. If the eq was more effective I would have kept it.
