Features
- As the title indicates, this guitar amplifier features a 5-watt tube power amplifier and a Celestion brand speaker.
- It uses a ECC83/12AX7 preamplification tube and a 6V6GT power tube for the amplifier section, plus a Celestion Super 8 GBA-15 speaker.
- The amplifier handles frequencies between 80Hz and 10kHz, with hum and noise -75dB below the rated power and 0.5% total harmonic distortion.
- It includes a low input and a high input, with the former attenuating the signal by approximately 50% and the latter being easier to overdrive.
- While tone is always debatable, the increased dynamic range and even-order harmonic distortion of tubes produces the better sound.
Description
Get superior guitar tone in a small package using this 5-Watt 1x8 guitar combo tube amplifier with Celestion Speaker from Monoprice! The celestion super 8 is detailed and crisp. Well-balanced mids and highs complement a surprisingly meaty bottom end. It's just about the biggest sounding eight-inch speaker we've ever heard. Give it about 20 hours of playing time and it really warms up for a smooth, buttery sound that still punches through the mix. It has a Low input, which attenuates the signal by about half and makes it easier to overdrive, and a high input, which gives full power with more headroom and volume. The cabinet has an open back and features a leather handle, cloth speaker grill, and a cream-colored, textured, synthetic leather exterior with chrome corner guards.

I had been sitting on the fence about this amp for nearly 8 months now, reading every review, both positive and negative, humming and hawing, looking at the Fender 57' Champ, back and forth...well I pulled the trigger! Thanks to the review that mentioned missing out on this little guy would be a tragedy. Arrived within 24hrs. No dents in the boxes was well packaged protected within a box-in-a-box with 1" foam corners. It's super sturdy, heavy (top heavy), and built well. Same model/build as pictured. Power cable is indeed attached, and has a velcro strap attached to the inside to keep the plug cable wrapped up. 2 tubes, open back, w/ a heat vent thingie that looks cool. Overall it is really vintage looking IMO. Compared to my Fender Mustang 1v2, this thing is better-built hands down. Has chrome hardware and rubber feet. Tolex is a light cream and well applied. I see no flaws in the tolex application. There was some stringy glue inside the back of the amp, that just pulled off the inside/front. Looks like it was leftover from the inside is not bare wood, but has a black tolex-like material applied to the speaker front and sides/back which was a surprise. I expected bare MDF board inside...nope. Attention to detail IMO. The handle feels weird but looks good and vintage. The instruction booklet is good and explains how to use the tube amp. Read it! Plugin guitars BEFORE turning it on, and allow to warm up for 10-15min. I did all this and so far no major meltdowns. It sounds really, really clean on the 1w setting with no gain. Love it! I can adjust my guitar via the volume/tone/switch now. Never seemed like they did much thru my solid-state, but so with the tube. Pretty amazeballs IMO. Love the 1w setting for practice and getting the tone dialed in. So much fun and warmer than my solid-state hands down. In 5w this thing gets LOUD! I noticed the tone control can introduce some hum, but nothing freakishly annoying, but at that 5w say set at 5 volume, this amp is too loud for my apartment building (I live in SF). Would be interesting to try an 8ohm speaker out, which may be my next project. Overall I think this thing is pretty awesome. Like anything on the internet folks got lots of opinions, but I would not hesitate to jump on one of these cool tube amps before they are gone. I got the extended warranty for $20 for 3 years thru Asurion. $151.86 for a tube amp with this build quality? Insane. Sure if you are a gear snob, pay 10x the price for a Fender Champ 57' but my bet is it wouldn't be 10x better, maybe 2x? I dunno. If you have never used a tube amp, I highly recommend giving this a shot.

I plugged it in and started playing after letting the tubes warm up and it sounded ok. It has nice sounds, very bright, almost too bright, but you can turn the tone down to compensate. I suspected that it had more potential and I was 100% correct. It was obvious it could use a better speaker, which I expected for this price. After reviewing 8" speaker options I opted for the Celestion Eight 15 G8C-15 8 Ohm speaker because: 1. It was only $29 with free 2 day shipping via FedEx from ZZsounds. They even delivered on Easter Sunday! 2. The Celestion website spec's the Eight 15 speaker at 20 Watts, although ZZ's spec's showed it as 15 Watts, which is what the amp came with anyway, so even if it's only 15 Watts that is still fine, but I tend to believe the manufacturer's spec's. 3. I noticed the magnet in the Eight 15 speaker weighed over twice as much than the stock speaker. The difference in the sound was very noticeable right away. Not a little better, the difference was day and night. Now, with the new speaker it sounds wonderful and "chimey" like a fine boutique tube amp. I couldn't believe what a difference the new speaker made and definitely recommend the additional $29 for the upgrade. It's an easy upgrade to do for most any DIY'er. However, it was a real challenge, incredibly difficult, unexpectedly took a lot of effort to remove the chassis because the tolex had bonded to the chassis, maybe excess glue from the tolex? I had to carefully use a large clamp with cushions and a rubber foot to avoid marring the surfaces to apply enough pressure to get the chassis out. I couldn't believe how much pressure it took to break it away from the tolex, but I was able to work it out without damaging anything. This amp takes pedals well. I like to use a Tube Screamer type pedal to get the natural break up at lower volumes and this has worked way better than I expected. I was feeling ok with the purchase even with the stock speaker, but the incredible difference an inexpensive speaker upgrade made encouraged me to write this long winded review. I recommend the amp, with or without the speaker upgrade.

Great little amp for the money once the speaker is upgraded. The Celestion super 8 is a little harsh so I replaced it with a warehouse G8A. Smoothed it right now to the extent that I could be just as happy playing this amp as my full size ones and the dimensions are great for a travel amp. Replacing the speaker was not too bad but I would advise using a socket rather than a wrench on the nuts. Highly recommended.

You're buying a 5 Watt tube amp. Don't expect to keep up with a drummer or to use it at band practice (maybe, but probably not). This is a curious little amp that I would recommend to anybody over any transistor amp in its class. If you're gonna spend $150 on a practice am this is the one to get. Out of the box, the sound quality is what you would expect from a two knob tube amplifier. No reverb so it's dry, and it's got one tone control which sounds a lot like your guitar's tone control. But I added a compressor and a reverb pedal, and this thing really came alive. It doesn't deserve a five-star rating, but it certainly deserves the 4 for its ingenuity and tone. Probably the most important feature of this amplifier is the 5 Watt and one watt switch. It doesn't function like you think it would. You're probably thinking that it impacts the volume. It impacts the gain more than anything. So this leads you to using the 1 watt setting for cleaning sounds, and the 5 watt for more gain and lead sounds. At the five watt setting, it pretty much breaks up at any volume setting with my humbuckers, and much less so with the single coils. At the one watt setting it stays pretty clean all the way up to about five or six. The 6V6 power tube is wonderfully warm and well-rounded. And paired with this 8" speaker, it's about as good as it gets in this price range. I own a two stage right 15 watt amps, which I swapped Eminence Swamp Thangs, So I think it's important to compare this five Watt amp with those fifteen Watt amps. The construction is almost identical, which I would grade above average. Obviously the 15 Watt amps are just going to be louder, and they are. But this five Watt app is really the perfect practice app if you want that tube sound but don't want to spend $500 on a real Fender. I'm not sure I'm going to keep it come up but after playing on it for a few hours, I've kind of fallen in love with it. I need a another amp like I need a hole in the head, so maybe I'll give this one to my son for his practice sessions. A great buy.

I was on the fence about this amp. Is it worth me spending $100 on a cheap amp that will probably break or sound horrible? Well finally after being so curious about it and seeing a few other reviews I bought it. I am SO glad I bought it. I have nothing bad to say about this amp. For the money you CANNOT buy anything as nice as this. Construction is perfect. It is solid and well built. I am not one to nitpick things apart for minor blemishes, which even if there were any on this amp I wouldn't care because it is great. It takes pedals like a champ and sounds killer. I use a Boss Blues Driver with this and its perfect. I have other heavier distortion pedals that I have used and I have over all liked the tone I was getting. Adding reverb and delay is even better with the pedals hooked up. Very simple controls on the amp, Volume and Tone. Nice over driven tube sound that works great for my style of playing. I for some reason like the amp on the 1W setting more than on the 5W setting. It just sounds better to me on 1W. This amp is in a class of its own. I have many other amps and this one sticks out amongst the others. Its got a tone of its own. When in doubt just BUY IT! Loud enough for practicing and then some. I have been considering using this as my gigging rig. Just plug in and play and don't over think it. ENJOY IT!

I was actually after this guy's 15 watt big brother, but it was out of stock and I caught this little fella on sale for just under a bill. I pulled trigger on the little 5 watt, and I'm so glad I did. Otherwise I may have missed out on trying this little gem! If you are new to guitar and looking to buy your first amp, skip the solid states and the modelers and buy this. This is a simple amp (just volume and tone controls), but that is a good thing. You will learn what the volume and tone knobs on your guitar are for. You will learn the tone difference between hot humbucker and milder single coil pickups. You will learn how to get a range of different tones by varying pick attack or using your fingers. These are all more important than learning how to program presets on that modeling amp. There's a lot here for experienced guitarists as well. For the money, this is a great grab-and-go Champ-like blues amp. Full of those rich harmonics that you only get from tubes! Guitar pickups play a big role in tone. With single coils on my strat, I get those Fender cleans even at higher volumes (and This thing is surprisingly loud for 5 watts). On my Tele, crystal cleans on the neck pickup and Vox-ish crunch on the bridge. My humbucker-equiped Les Pauls gets into classic rock territory. There are a few cons that will probably lead to future modifications, but I am a tinkerer by nature so I don't mind given the price. First, I don't find a big difference between the high and low inputs. I will probably end up changing the tone stack on one of them for some different tonal options. Second, the LED light blinks and goes off at times. Probably just a bad solder joint which I will fix while I'm in there. Lastly, I'm not overly impressed with the speaker. It sounds great for clean or slighly dirty blues tones, but can be a bit farty on distorted power chords. I will likely replace it with a Jensen or Eminence at some point. Overall, highly recommended. Even with its minor faults, it is still well deserving of 5 stars considering the price.

I tried multiple solid state amps. Not one of them was even close to achieving the tone this little amp puts out. Its not fancy with all kinds of modes but it surely delivers in what matters most. It is loud and clear. Worth every penny.

Well built amp, but there’s only one problem. All of the ones in the advertisement had a preamp tube and a power tube. This one does not have a preamp tube, it only has a power tube, and you have to crank it super loud to get any overdrive I got it for $100 so it’s worth keeping because it sounds great and it takes pedals well but it’s kind of false advertising. Still a great amp and I’m going to keep it, but it definitely doesn’t sound like the ones with a tube preamp
