The Harley Benton TUBE30 is a seriously impressive little amp for the money. It nails that classic British amp tone – think Vox AC30 but at a much more affordable price. It's perfect for bedroom players, home recording, or anyone wanting a portable amp with a good dose of tube warmth and a usable overdrive channel.
