2025 Benson Earhart Reverb+ 15w 1x12" Tube Amp Combo


Ahhh... this is such a good amp! I've liked every Benson I've played and this one is no exception. I think, tonally, this flits between a Voxy and Magnatone-like vibe -- sort-of mids-present with a bit of sparkle and more neutral (but warm) played in the cleaner positions and almost fuzzy and "cup of hot chocolate" when played driven. The nice thing about Bensons, when driven, is that they stay accurate to what you're playing -- you're not getting weird EQ spikes or whatnot when you crank them that take away from your original sound. It's like your original sound but smeared with deliciousness.

The step-down wattage/attenuator sounds gorgeous at every setting and is especially awesome for low stage volume or recording volume in the first two (1/2 watt, 1 watt) positions. The reverb has an almost Ampeg-like sound to it that's quite enjoyable -- just the right amount of chaos in the way it trails.

The EQ controls help dial-in bands just so and it's easy to get to where you want to go with this guy.

This one comes with its original shipping box which will make it easy-peasy for traveling. It was bought new by the owner and has only had a little bit of use and mostly in his studio so it's almost a new amp.
