Harley Benton TUBE15 Celestion Reviews

very pleasant sound, typical for tubes I recommend it not only for home use

My 'go to' amp

This is my main weapon at home and out and about now. Even the reviews do not do it justice as you can do anything with this amp. I have replaced the tubes because one blew but that is what tubes are supposed to do. Other than that played everyday with deep joy

Incredible amp - not just for the price

I really like the way this amp sounds and handles so many different genres (everything from Stevie Ray Vaughan to Machine Head) and it is the perfect amp for smaller gigs and things like that, and is more than loud enough for bedroom use and band practice. The speaker sounds great (better than the speaker from my 6505 combo) and everything is great quality. I have no complaints at all, the amp delivered what it promised and more.

Love it

I love it. Everyone's already talked about the specs, there are great YT reviews, I just wanted to say I love mine.

BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WORK

This is extremely well made amplifier with two EL84's as the output valves. It capable of clean sounds with the gain down or Rock distortion with the gain turned up. You do not need a distortion pedal to get a lovely hard rock sound. Pricewise it is a beauty much cheaper than many other valve amps. Quality of manufacture is great , reverb is genuine spring in bottom of cab, eq is great and the attenuation is very useful for bedroom practice. I cannot praise this amp too highly , it is a real winner!!

What more needs to be said?

This is an absolute bargain and if you don't mind the poor aesthetics (for me at least) this is a no-brainer. 15 years ago you could only dream of getting a tube amp for this kind of price. It simply delivers on all accounts. I really commend Harley Benton for making tube amps reachable for kids just starting out or maybe someone with a limited budget. This is the way. Pros: - Beautiful tube sound - has FX loop - Loud enough for a band setting - Size & weight Cons: - poor aesthetics and square look - The reflective front plate makes it hard to read the text under the knobs sometimes

Great budget practice amp

Modest single tube . nice low and higher watt volume settings. Light , simple and fun .

HB Tube amp 15W

Fantastic amp! Not to be beaten for such a good price!

Just perfect little amp with no compromises

It's fantastic what this amp can deliver in such a small size and price. There is no competitor for this amp I believe. As this is not the amp that I always dreamed of having (which probably would be a Marshal JVM) I could get the sound that I wanted and even more flexibility by pairing this with a Friedmann IRX in the effect loop and OMG it sounds amazing. It's a great platform for a preamp or pedals. Both sounds good.

Impressive! ... But

Overall I love this amp but the output valves were all crackles and hum inside 6 weeks. I replaced those two but I won't be truly confident until I replace the other three. It pushes the cost by €150 unfortunately.

Great Little Amp

The Tube15 is a Great Little Amp. It ticks many boxes - It's loud, it's small, it's well made and it has a built in real spring reverb. The inclusion of an effects send / return loop is something very useful and often not seen at this price point - and what a price point it is!! The Tube15 is easily loud enough to play gigs with. It has a lot of gain - maybe too much gain - for those of you wanting a loud clean sound it may be nessacery to swop out the 1st 12AX7 tube for a 12AT7 or even a 12AU7 to reduce early breakup. The tone controls are typical of this type of amp and are not as "wide sweeping" as more modern circuits. (perhaps 6db/octave rather than 12) The only thing I didn't like was the sound of the speaker cab and speaker combination. There is not a lot of bottom end "push". I kept comparing it to my Fender Mustang lll cab which sounded SO much better

Awesome

What a buy! Cheap, solid, loud and simply fantastic amp. Only gripe is buzz from reverb but I use a holy grail pedal anyway so it's not that relevant. In 30 years of various amps this is the best practice amp I have had. I've not gigged it as those days are over but I learnt long ago that lugging huge amps around was a fools errand when you are miced up anyway. I wouldn't hesitate to take this on stage.

Superb valve amp

Great amp sounds great and loud. Top quality.

Tube guarantee! Only 6 months!

How about this! You can see that the guarantee is 3 years but you cannot see that the tubes have only a 6-month one. So, good sound, but for only 2 years. If the tubes are off? Your business.

Super cool!

Absolutely love this product fhfjfjfjfjjfjfjffjfjfjfj

Best bang for the buck!

Its a great value for the price paid. Use it every day.

Amazing sound, I love it

Genuine tube amp with analog sound, beautiful spring reverb, powerful and natural-sounding crunchy overdrive. Its sound inspires me and I like it so much that I've also ordered the head version to have a backup.

This is not just 'a very good amp for the price', this is the real deal. Excellent for bluesrock and hard rock, it's really easy to dial in a good sound and regulate crunch via guitar volume.

Cons: Connectors are soldered to PCB instead of wired, this makes it less reliable, and there are some SMD components, but as far as I know it does not seem to have digital circuitry and it looks reasonably repairable, with bias adjustment pots for the power tubes.

Considering the price I can forgive these cons so I give it 10/10 rating.

Great Amp

Couldn't fault it for the price , lovely cleans , nice reverb and a nice bit of gritt with the gain up. Built solid, has a nice carry handle and super portable. If you want an ac15 but don't want to break the bank too much I would highly recommend.

really great amplifier for the money, great sound

Great features

Sound quality is amazing with very less interference like buzzing noise.

Big voice for such a small dude.

Price wise very reasonable with reverb and tone features.
