Harley Benton Tube5, Tube15 & Tube30: Tube Amp Tone
Three new tube amp heads and matching cabinet
4,8 / 5,0 | 
Harley Benton Tube5, Tube15, and Tube30 are the brand’s new all-tube amp heads, including a G110 Celestion Cab for vintage rock tones.
Harley Benton Tube5
First up, is the Harley Benton Tube5 Head which offers 5 watts of tube power. Connoisseurs know that this seemingly low output is more than enough power. Provided you agree that it doesn’t always have to sound clean.
Attenuator
It weighs only 5.2 kg and is equipped with 1x ECC83/12AX7 preamp tube and 1x 6V6GT power tube. This is a simple amp with volume and tone control.
A small power attenuator switch to reduce the power to 1 watt is also on board.
Tube15 Head
This head offers all the functions of Harley Benton’s TUBE15 Celestion Combo, but without a permanently installed speaker housing, so you have the freedom to combine it with your favourite Cabinet.
With its 15-watt tube output, the TUBE15 Head is not only an ideal choice for the rehearsal room but also offers enough power for smaller live performances.
With 3x 12AX7 preamp tubes and 2x EL84 power tubes as well as 3-band EQ, gain, volume, and tone controls, your sound ideas should be easily implemented. This model also includes reverb. And you can integrate your pedalboard via the FX send/return sockets.
Weight: 6 kg
TUBE30 Head
The third in the group has an impressive 30 watts and looks a bit beefier compared to its two little brothers. This is probably primarily due to the front grille for better air circulation. The TUBE30 Head is not only ideal for the rehearsal room but also has enough power to handle smaller live performances.
Two channels
Equipped with 3x ECC83/12AX7 preamp tubes and 4x EL84 power amplifier tubes. As well as a number of intuitive controls, including clean volume, gain, overdrive volume, bass, middle, treble, bright switch, and channel switch. So you get a very flexible tube head here in terms of sound with two channels.
In addition, the reverb and tone control can be foot-switched. You can also get the FX loop here.
Weight: 10.5 kg
G110 Celestion
The history of rock n’ roll would be incomplete without Celestion speakers. Celestion has powered rock music from the 1960s to the modern era and is at the heart of all those classic guitar tones heard on countless records.
The G110 Celestion has a 1×10″ Celestion Tube10 (G10E-30) speaker that can handle 30 watts at 8 ohms. The cream-colored Tolex covering of course goes perfectly with the tube heads mentioned above and gives it a touch of elegance. Its closed design ensures a focused sound. The price is unbeatably cheap.

l just want more info.
why does the pedal power amp need a tone stack. seems like it’s designed to be pedal friendly and tone shaped by others.
The combos are nice little amps, and were always base for mods, so hoping these to be the same cheap, nice, moddable!
