Tiny amp, huge tone
Harley Benton's TUBE5 Celestion is a tube amp through and through. This open-backed, single-channel 8" combo packs five watts of all-tube power into a tiny package and comes at an attractive price. Anyone who has experienced an all-tube amplifier first hand will know that five watts are not to be underestimated - the resulting volume is definitely enough for home use and for those first band rehearsals. However, the TUBE5's strengths only truly come to the fore when it is used for recording. Whether it's as an affordable studio amp or as a first tube amplifier for beginners, the TUBE5 is always an excellent choice.

Straightforward controls and 100% tube tone
At the core of the Harley Benton TUBE5 Celestion are an ECC83 (also known as 12AX7) preamp tube and a 6V6GT power amp tube. The amp's power output can be reduced from five watts to one watt at the push of a button, which also makes the TUBE5 perfect for use at living room volume. The amp is loaded with an 8" Celestion Super speaker and, with just a volume and tone control, the front control panel has been reduced to the essentials. The volume control, in the truest tube-amp tradition, is also responsible for regulating how distorted the sound becomes. The amp's rear panel features an output jack for connecting an external speaker, in which case the built-in speaker is muted.

It can whisper - or it can roar
The Harley Benton TUBE5 Celestion is an all-tube amplifier in the entry-level price segment that offers unrivalled value for money and a set of features that one can normally only expect at much higher price points. The option of reducing the power output to one watt means that the amp can be pushed to its limits and its characteristic overdrive sound recorded without rattling the windows and waking the neighbours in the process. At the same time, the TUBE5 Celestion can be quickly and easily connected to an external speaker, turning the diminutive combo into a fully-fledged half stack.

A pint-sized beast
Tube amplifiers have a character all their own: They respond dynamically to the individual guitarist's playing style and deliver a crisp, precise sound. Above all, however, they produce a very specific style of overdrive. Pushing the Harley Benton TUBE5 Celestion to the limit by cranking the volume control to the maximum delivers the authentic, richly layered crunch that is synonymous with all-tube amplifiers. And switching the output power down to one watt lets you get this sound at manageable volume levels at home and keep the neighbours happy at the same time. The TUBE5 is therefore ideal for recording some great-sounding guitar tracks at home and for practising without having to compromise your tone - and it comes at an unrivalled price.
