Used Benson Nathan Junior 5 Watt Tube Combo Amplifier

Benson wanted to hit a different price point with the Nathan Junior amp…instead of their usual Mercury transformers/Jupiter capacitors combination they found some domestically produced components that sound fantastic and fit the form factor better. For 5 watts in a tiny package, it sounds shockingly big. It’s the perfect grab and go recording/ small gig combo.
