Monoprice 5-Watt Guitar Tube Combo Amplifier

This 5-Watt 1x8 Guitar Combo Tube Amplifier with Celestion Speaker from Monoprice offers superior guitar tone in a small package. The amplifier features a 5-watt tube power amplifier and a Celestion brand speaker. It utilizes an ECC83/12AX7 preamplification tube and a 6V6GT power tube for the amplifier section, as well as a Celestion Super 8 GBA-15 speaker.

The amplifier is capable of handling frequencies between 80Hz and 10kHz, with hum and noise -75dB below the rated power and 0.5% total harmonic distortion. It includes both a Low input and a High input, with the Low input attenuating the signal by approximately 50% and the High input being easier to overdrive.

The cabinet of the amplifier is ported in the rear and features a leather handle, cloth speaker grill, and a cream-colored, textured, synthetic leather exterior with chrome corner guards. While the debate around tone is always subjective, the increased dynamic range and even-order harmonic distortion of tubes are generally considered to produce a superior sound.

As the title indicates, this guitar amplifier is designed to deliver superior tone in a compact package. The use of high-quality components, such as the Celestion speaker and the tube-based power and preamp sections, allows the amplifier to produce a rich and dynamic sound. The dual input options provide versatility, allowing users to tailor the signal to their preferences.

The amplifier's frequency response, low hum and noise, and low distortion levels further contribute to its impressive sonic capabilities. The cabinet design, with its ported rear and durable construction, ensures that the amplifier not only sounds great but also looks and feels high-quality.

Overall, this 5-Watt 1x8 Guitar Combo Tube Amplifier from Monoprice is an excellent choice for musicians seeking superior guitar tone in a compact and portable package. Its combination of tube-based circuitry, high-quality components, and versatile features make it a compelling option for both studio and live use.
