Product information

A whole lot of amp packed into a compact 5-Watt combo, the Benson Nathan Junior is one of our favorite 'lil tube amps available

Since its release, the Benson Nathan Junior has taken ahold of the small, low watt combo market. Beautifully designed, simple to use, and highly versatile, it covers some serious ground.

Pushing 5 watts of output via a single 6V6 power tube, it strikes a balance of fullness and warmth with clarity and definition that makes it such a satisfying low-volume option. A great writing and recording amp, the Nathan Junior also excels in small club settings without the need for a mic, or even at home when you want to keep things quieter and still maintain great feel and response under your fingers.

We praise its clean tones (especially with that reverb!), but let's not overlook how great the Nathan Junior sounds cranked up. It's got a really impressive grind that has some tweed-like harmonic saturation without feeling overly compressed. Plug this amp into a larger 2x12 cabinet and watch out!

"Big sound in a small package" sounds like a tired pitch, but it rings true in the Nathan Junior. That's not something we can say happens in the guitar amp world on a regular basis. It's deserving of all the praise it gets!
