Benson Amps really nailed it with the Nathan Jr. Reverb Combo Amp. It’s truly a brilliant design. A simple yet effective control scheme, a tone-stack to please even the most discerning players ears, lush tube driven spring reverb that can go from subtle to completely wet, a loud 5 watts & 10” Celestion Greenback speaker; perfect for both medium to small gigs, studio use or bed room volumes. It’s also a very portable & lightweight Amp at only 20lbs.
From Benson:
5 Watt combo with spring reverb Nathan Junior is our long time demo guitarist, a veteran of Portland indie rock, and now a non-profit organizer. Part of the proceeds for every Nathan Junior is going directly to Musical Independence - a non-profit organization in the small town of Independence OR whose mission is to provide much needed music lessons to citizens of all walks of life. Nathan has a building, a plan, and years of both teaching and music business experience.
We wanted to hit a different price point with the Nathan Junior amp…instead of our usual Mercury transformers/Jupiter capacitors combination we found some domestically produced components that sound fantastic and fit the form factor better. For 5 watts in a tiny package, it sounds shockingly big. We think it’s the perfect grab and go recording/ small gig combo.
