Get Massive Tones from This 5-watt Tube Combo

Benson Amps Vinny Reverb Combo

The Benson Amps Vinny Reverb Combo takes the company's beloved Vinny circuit, enhances it with a tone control and Tall Bird-style reverb, and packs it into a lightweight tube combo amplifier. The Vinny can tackle both boutique-style cleans and gnarly overdriven sounds with aplomb, plus everything in between.

Like the other amps in Benson's lineup, the Vinny boasts a handwired, all-tube signal path with point-to-point construction on terminal strips, with no circuit, eyelet, or turret boards to be found. And, thanks to custom Triad transformers and Mallory capacitors, every note that springs forth from this tube combo amp's Celestion Greenback speaker will be infused with flawless, ear-grabbing tone.

You also get tube-driven power scaling, a spring reverb, and a scene-stealing Baltic birch cabinet. Want to achieve arena-sized tones at apartment-appropriate volumes? Plug into the Benson Amps Vinny Reverb Combo, close your eyes, and you'll feel like you're playing Madison Square Garden.

Handwired Point-to-Point Construction

This handwired, all-tube combo brandishes point-to-point construction on terminal strips — no circuit, eyelet, or turret boards allowed — with top-shelf components at every turn. Custom Triad power and output transformers and Mallory 150 capacitors infuse your tone with unparalleled muscle. You also get a 10-inch Celestion Greenback speaker voiced to flatter every signal that runs through it. From beautiful cleans to fantastic distortion, the Vinny Reverb Combo is one of the most inspiring low-watt guitar amplifiers we've ever played here at Sweetwater.

All-Tube Signal Path

The Benson Amps Vinny Reverb Combo is all tube, all the way. Its power section is fueled by one JJ EL84 tube, and its preamp section contains one 12AX7. This boutique beauty includes tube-driven power scaling — not a silicon MOSFET — that dials the amp down from five watts to 1/4 watts. You also get a Tall Bird-style spring reverb driven by a 12DW7 tube. For all-tube tone in a lightweight package, you'll be hard-pressed to top the Vinny Reverb Combo.

Benson Amps: Supplying Boutique Tone Since 2012

The quest for the ultimate tone can lead guitarists down a seemingly endless path. For Christopher Benson, a self-described "relentless tinkerer," the journey led him to take matters into his own hands. After stints as an amp tech around the Pacific Northwest — and with his flagship Monarch amplifier design already in tow — Benson introduced his eponymous company in 2012.

Leveraging meticulous quality, practical expertise, premium components, and a passion for vintage-inspired design, the Oregon-based outfit aims to create original circuits that effortlessly transition from euphoric, rich cleans to glorious harmonic distortion with a mere change in pick attack. Whether it's a meticulously handcrafted pedal or a no-compromise handwired amplifier, players seeking tonal nirvana owe it to themselves to plug into one of Benson Amps' heirloom-quality offerings.
