Harley Benton's guitar amps, which come in many sizes, have long been known for their quality and bargain prices. The extremely compact HB-10G guitar combo is no exception. In addition to its pristine clean channel, a switchable overdrive channel, a full three-band EQ, and useful connection options including a headphone output and an AUX input for practising and jamming to your favourite tracks are all included at a budget-friendly price. The power cable is hardwired flush to the rear of the chassis and can be securely stowed inside the amp’s open back during transport.
A sturdy enclosure with reinforced corners fully protects the HB-10G, whilst its four rubber feet ensure it remains stable at all times. The HB-10G’s controls are clearly laid out on the front panel: There is a gain pot to adjust the drive level, separate EQ controls for bass, mid, and treble, and of course a main volume control. Pushing the Channel Select button changes the sound from clean and clear to heavy and distorted. The tube-emulating circuit, which electronically imitates the sound and feel of a tube amp, provides a warm and authentic sound. Both the headphone output and AUX input feature 3.5 mm mini-jack sockets so that standard headphones and/or MP3 players can be connected without any problems.
Thanks to its tube-emulating circuit, the sound spectrum of the HB-10G ranges from crystal-clear and punchy on the clean channel to distorted crunch and high-gain thunder on the overdrive channel. Together, the 10-watt power stage and 6-inch speaker provide a surprisingly high output volume. Don’t let looks fool you: This compact open-backed combo can be used without hesitation for smaller sessions. Practice comes before gigging however – and for that the AUX input allows you to play along to your favourite tracks. And you can do so discreetly, if you so wish, using the integrated headphone output.
